Rugged Soil Moisture Sensors

A 1m 3 feet long cable is pre soldered.

Rugged soil moisture sensors. Made of durable abs plastic and fiberglass our vh400 moisture sensor is absolutely water proof and rugged ready for the most challenging application that you can throw at it. The hydraprobe is the most scientifically researched soil moisture sensor available. The internal circuitry is the same cutting edge design that you ll find in other meter soil moisture sensors but the form factor has been optimized for use in soilless substrates or harsh environments giving it a wider range of ec measurement and an increased temperature range. Provides continual and consistent accuracy to measure the three most significant soil parameters simultaneously soil moisture salinity and temperature.

Rugged waterproof and ready to use. Additionaly provides ambient light and temperature readings. The gs3 soil moisture temperature and ec sensor is built with an epoxy body and stainless steel needles. Weatherproof for long term use.

They use 555 timer to produce the square wave at 1mhz when mine runs on 16mhz from crystal mcu still low to account for different soil texture but still better than running it at 1 mhz also more stable with temperature. The rugged rt 1 soil temperature sensor is an easy to use sensor for measuring the temperature of soil or other materials. Simple the bare pcb. Dfrobot have a capacitive soil moisture sensor that uses the same exact technique as mine sensor just they brought it even more to the cheap side.

Works with arduino raspberry pi particle photon and others. Select waterproofing ruggedness. Our vh400 series soil moisture sensor probes allow precise low cost monitoring of soil water content. The hydraprobe is the most scientifically researched soil sensor available and is depended on by the usda noaa farmers leading irrigation companies and universities for over 25 years.

The soil moisture sensor uses capacitance to measure the water content of soil by measuring the dielectric permittivity of the soil which is a function of the water content. Soil temperature made easy. Capacitive soil moisture sensor interfaced via i2c. Simply insert this rugged sensor into the soil to be tested and the volumetric water content of the soil is reported in percent.

This sensor is stainless steel completely waterproof submersible and designed for continuous outdoor use. Vernier software technology. A rugged soil sensor with patented technology to measure the three most significant soil parameters moisture electrical conductivity and temperature. A rugged soil moisture sensor with patented technology.

It can be buried at any depth in the ground or be inserted above ground or into the soil of your potted plants.
