The EMCON Soil Wetness-Moisture Sensor is a capacitance-based sensor
designed for continuous observation of soil moisture and wetness.
It can be used directly in soil or other engineered soils to measure
moisture conditions.
The sensor provides accurate wetness/moisture percentage instantaneously
and is specially designed to sense even the slightest changes in moisture
with excellent repeatability.
The sensor uses capacitance-based sensing technology to detect moisture
and wetness in soil. Changes in soil moisture produce corresponding
changes in the sensor’s capacitance, allowing the moisture condition
to be measured.
The sensor is designed to detect even slight changes in moisture and
provides the wetness/moisture percentage instantaneously.
The sensor measures soil wetness/moisture over a selectable range of
0 to 100%. It can be used directly in soil or other engineered soils
for continuous moisture observation.
The sensor can be easily used with different soils, making it suitable
for a variety of agricultural, soil science and environmental
monitoring applications.
The sensor can be connected with a long cable, enabling remote and
centralized measurements. This allows the sensor to be installed at
the measurement location while the monitoring equipment can be placed
at a convenient remote location.
The EMCON Soil Wetness Sensor is designed for continuous observation
of moisture as wetness. Its sensing system provides instantaneous
wetness/moisture percentage measurements for monitoring changing soil
conditions.
The sensor is specially designed to sense the slightest changes in
moisture. Its excellent repeatability helps provide consistent
measurements during continuous soil monitoring.
The low power consumption of the sensor makes it suitable for remote
and long-term operations where continuous soil moisture monitoring
is required.
The sensor provides a linear voltage output from 0 to 5 V with a
5 mA output capacity. This output can be connected to suitable
monitoring or data-acquisition equipment.
The sensor has an operating temperature range of -50 to 95°C, making
it suitable for a wide range of environmental and agricultural
monitoring conditions.
The sensor has a compact physical design with a width of 4 cm,
length of 12 cm and weight of less than 200 grams.
