S-LWA-M003 LEAF WETNESS HOBO SENSOR

The S-LWA-M003 Leaf Wetness smart sensor is designed to work with the HOBO® Weather Station or Micro Station Loggers.
The smart sensor has a plug-in modular connector that allows it to be added easily to a HOBO Weather Station.
All calibration parameters are stored inside the smart sensor, which automatically communicates configuration information to the logger without the need for any programming, calibration, or extensive setup. Unlike other leaf wetness sensors, the HOBO Leaf Wetness smart sensor does not require any painting or coating—it is ready to use.

The Leaf Wetness Smart Sensor provides accurate leaf wetness data in a number of growing and research applications. The sensor is ready to use and does not require any painting or coating. It uses a capacitive grid that is less sensitive to surface residues than resistive grid-based sensors, and comes preconditioned for consistent measurements between sensors and for long-term stability. Along with a 3-meter cable, a mounting bracket is included so the sensor can be easily positioned to mimic the wet-dry characteristics of the plants being studied.
