Multi-Parameter Soil Probes
TDR Soil Moisture and Temperature Profile Sensor - SoilVue 10
The SoilVue™10 is a soil water content profile sensor powered by Campbell TrueWave™TDR technology. This soil moisture, electrical conductivity, and temperature profile sensor was developed with environmental researchers and environmental monitoring networks in mind. The SoilVue 10 represents several exciting advancements in in-situ soil measurement that should make this an extremely compelling option for anyone in these applications who needs to make multiple measurements in a profile.
Campbell Scientific’s proprietary TrueWave TDR technology combines a best-in-class rise time with an advanced waveform analysis technique to determine the true travel time of a high-frequency pulse. This process achieves a high-resolution, smooth signal for measurements that are defensible and can be universally compared with other TDR measurements. Not all TDR-based sensors perform equally well.
Benefits and Features:
- Measures VWC, permittivity, EC, and temperature
- Six or nine depths measured with one sensor
- Quick and low-impact installation
- Digital output is compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers
- Designed for long-term outdoor operation
- TrueWave TDR technology is proven and trusted
HydroSense II Handheld Soil Moisture Sensor - HS2
The HS2 is the handheld display for the new Hydrosense II soil-water sensor. When paired with either the CS658 or CS659 portable soil-water probes, it replaces the previous Hydrosense soil-water system. It features a new handheld display and a new probe design. The HS2 handheld has been designed to be compact and portable, with the layout of the buttons allowing for operation with one hand.
Benefits and Features :
- Compact and lightweight
- Read real-time soil-water content measurements in the field
- Large LCD display for easy operation
- Onboard data storage for up to 1500 points
- Onboard GPS for geotagging measurements
- Bluetooth connection to PC software
- Export to Google Earth, GPX and CSV
Probe redesign for easy insertion and removal from soil
GroPoint Profile
GroPoint™ Profile is a scientific-grade and cost-effective soil moisture probe that measures the volumetric water content and soil temperature over multiple depths using a single probe. It can be deployed in sensitive agriculture zones to enable full control of irrigation, increase water-use efficiency and provide an understanding of water movement throughout the soil.
Unlike other multi-depth soil moisture probes, GroPoint Profile is the only one on the market to provide a true soil moisture profile. It continuously measures the soil moisture across the entire length of the probe by averaging the volumetric water content across each segment (15cm or 6″). This unique feature provides continuous measurements of water movement throughout the soil rather than at discrete positions on the probe, which cause “dead spots” in the soil profile.
The sleek, lightweight design installs quickly using a pilot rod and slide hammer tool with minimal soil disruption. Our soil probe design eliminates the cumbersome excavation that is required when installing other profiling probes. GroPoint Profile is designed for vertical installation to make continuous soil moisture and soil temperature measurements over multiple soil layers.
The Most Accurate and Cost-Effective Soil Moisture Profiling Solution Available
- Perfect for research, vineyards, vegetable crops, fruit trees and many more agricultural applications.
- Eliminates need for multiple soil moisture sensors and cabling systems.
- Measures across the entire length of the soil moisture probe, averaging the volumetric water content and soil temperature in each segment
- Installs quickly and easily without excavating.
- One SDI-12 address is used to read all segments, providing simplified installations. Optional MODBUS/RS-485 output.
- Soil moisture readings can be user-calibrated with 3rd-order polynomials to meet custom requirements.
- Low power requirements—suitable for remote, autonomous applications.
- Patented TDT5 technology for scientific-grade accuracy and excellent long-term stability of measurements.
- Fully potted electronics for excellent durability.
GroPoint Pro
- The GroPoint™ Pro soil sensor is robust, reliable and highly accurate. It provides a cost-effective solution for measuring soil moisture, soil temperature, and salinity (electrical conductivity or EC).
- This SDI-12 soil moisture sensor also functions as a wetting front detector, providing a separate output for the wetting front measurement. By placing the tip of the soil sensor just above the bottom of the crop’s root zone, the wetting front sensor will indicate when the water has reached the bottom of the soil sensor. This allows irrigation to stop precisely at the right time to ensure only the water needed is applied.
- The sleek, lightweight design installs quickly with minimal soil disruption. When installed vertically, the soil probe averages volumetric water content over a soil layer of about 6” (15cm). When installed horizontally, the soil sensor can measure soil moisture at a specific depth.
- GroPoint™ Pro can be deployed in sensitive agriculture zones to enable full control of irrigation, increase water-use efficiency and provide an understanding of water movement throughout the soil.
- Provides SDI-12 output of soil moisture,soil temperature and salinity (electrical conductivity).
- Detects when wetting front has reached bottom of probe.
- Soil moisture readings can be user-calibrated with 3rd-order polynomials to meet custom requirements.
- Low power requirements—suitable for remote, autonomous applications.
- Patented TDT5 technology for scientific-grade accuracy and excellent long-term stability of measurements.
Fully potted electronics for excellent durability.
