AO-510-01 Soil Moisture Sensor

AO-510-01 is a high accuracy, high sensitivity of soil moisture measuring instrument.The product on the principle of electromagnetic pulse (FDR:Frequency Domain Reflectometry) to measure the dielectric constant of the soil, stainless steel probe is inserted into the soil surface or soil profile to quickly online measurement of soil volumetric moisture content, the method is the most popular method of soil moisture measurement.It can be used permanently embedded in the soil.

ASSEMBLY The test medium must be of uniform intensity;

If measuring the water content of the soil of the surface, the sensor should be inserted vertically into the ground.

Do not shake the sensor when inserting it; otherwise, the probe will mix;

If the water content in the multi-layered soil is measured, the sensor must be buried in the ground and parallel to the ground.

Make sure the probe does not mix;

When removing the sensors from the ground, hold the sensor housing and do not pull on the cable forcibly.

The floor in the probes must be brushed with force; Please keep the sensor in dry and clean conditions.
