HOBOnet Multi-Depth Soil Moisture Sensor

Un sensore wireless pluripremiato che funziona con il sistema HOBOnet per misurare l'umidità e la temperatura del suolo a più profondità con un'unica sonda, per un'installazione facile e veloce.

Informazioni importanti

Un sistema completo richiede almeno un Stazione di monitoraggio remoto HOBO RX3000, a HOBOnet Wireless Manager, e un Sensore wireless HOBOnet, OPPURE uno Stazione HOBO MicroRX (che dispone di un Wireless Manager HOBOnet integrato) e di una Sensore wireless HOBOnet. Ripetitori wireless HOBOnet (RXW-RPTR-xxx o RXW-RPTR-B-xxx) possono essere aggiunti per estendere la portata.

Overview

An award-winning wireless sensor that works with the HOBOnet system to measure soil moisture and soil temperature at multiple depths with a single probe for fast and easy installation. This durable sensor is available in three probes lengths, for measurements up to 90 cm (35 in) deep.

Featuring GroPoint's TDT5 technology with patented antenna design, this sensor measures soil moisture along the entire length of each probe segment, resulting in the largest volume of influence per measurement section. A high frequency of pulses per measurement provides precise and consistent soil moisture data.

We recommend using the optional pilot rod and slide hammer for quick and easy installation: the PILOT-ROD4 (28") for use with the 3-segment and 4-segment sensors (RXW-GP3A and RXW-GP4A) and the PILOT-ROD6 (40") for use with the 6-segment sensor (RXW-GP6A).

The HOBOnet system is a cost-effective and scalable wireless sensor network for web-enabled monitoring of field conditions for applications such as crop management, research, and greenhouse operations. And because it's wireless, you can deploy a network of sensors to easily monitor multiple points with a single system, while avoiding the risk of long cables that can interfere with field operations. Sensors are easily linked to the network, and data can be accessed through HOBOlink, Onset's innovative cloud software platform.
