A digital soil sensor with RS485 communication for continuous monitoring of salts in the soil.
Key features
A 316L stainless steel electrode with an inner nylon or PVC lining.
Applications
Suited to monitoring soil salinity and improving soil.
What this product isThe sensor measures the electrical conductivity of the soil as an indicator of the concentration of dissolved salts. The 316L stainless steel outer electrode and the nylon or PVC inner lining provide stable operation, high sensitivity and corrosion resistance in long-term field monitoring.
The technical values apply to the selected RS485 version and can be adapted to the configuration of the AGRO VEDA station.
