What is and what is used for
The i-sms soil moisture sensor determines the volumetric water content (VWC - Volumetric Water Content) by measuring the constant dielectric of a soil sample used as dielectric of a capacitor whose armours are carried onto the sensor; as the water content varies, so does the capacitor capacity, whose measurement provides the VWC. The measurement technique used and the processing capacity on board minimise the effects of the soil salinity, which in any case are calculated and totally cancelled. Completing the sensor is a wireless transmission part that is both via radio (in free band, low consumption and high flow rate LORA) and GPRS (IOT - Internet Of Things); a wired version is also available.Construction
Smart volumetric water content in soil sensor (“Soil Moisture”) with wireless transmission of the data to a gateway or directly to the Internet (IOT - Internet of Things).
Main features
- Adaptability and performance: soil moisture measurement point in a local irrigation network on the farm based on the principles of precision farming; measurement node for mapping the soil moisture of a vast area served by a web-controlled irrigation system; specific sensor for the operational maintenance of grassy surfaces used for sports; specific sensor to prevent fungal plant diseases in crops.
- Easy maintenance: the benefits that our pluviometric sensor offers are not limited to precision, but also include simple and quick maintenance due to the engineering of the sensor that simplifies the phases. Sturdy and reliable construction: lastly makes it an instrument with a long lifetime, which safeguards the customer’s investment.
