Moisture Sensor | |
Measurement Range* (select one at configuration) | 0.00 to 0.64 m3/m3 in mineral soils 0 to 0.7 m3/m3 in soilless media Apparent dielectric permittivity: 1 (air) to 80 (water) *The sensor data can be post-calibrated if necessary (e.g. the sensor is used in non-mineral soil types or a higher than standard accuracy is required). Users can apply a calibration equation to the data exported from the app. The VWC range will depend on the calibration equation. |
Accuracy | ±0.031 m3/m3 typical in mineral soils that have solution EC <8 dS/m ±0.051 m3/m3 typical in soilless media Apparent dielectric permittivity: ±1 εa for the range 1 to 40 (soil range); ±15% for over 40 |
Resolution | 0.001 m3/m3 Apparent dielectric permittivity: 0.1 εa |
Dielectric Measurement Frequency | 70 MHz |
Volume of Influence | 430 mL |
