Measures soil moisture over a large volume of soil. This sensor integrates the field-proven 10HS Sensor and a 12-bit A/D, providing ±3% accuracy in most soils conditions, and ±2% accuracy with soil-specific calibration. The 10cm probes measure soil moisture over a larger volume of soil, helping to average out any soil variability. Readings are provided directly in volumetric water content. The sensor’s high-frequency design minimizes salinity and textural effects and gives it a wide measurement range.
Also available in a wireless model for use with the HOBOnet Field Monitoring System.
This sensor operates in an outdoor environment.
What measurements does this sensor support?
The S-SMD-M005 sensor supports the following measurement: Soil Moisture
| Measurement range in soil: | 0 to 0.570 m³/m³ (volumetric water content) |
| Accuracy: | ±0.033 m³/m³ (±3.3%) typical 0 to +50°C (+32° to +122°F) for mineral soils up to 10 dS/m. ±0.020 m³/m³ (±2%) with soil specific calibration. |
| Resolution: | 0.0008 m³/m³ (0.08%). |
| Soil probe dimensions: | 160 x 32 x 2 mm (6.5 x 1.25 x 0.08 in.). |
| Weight: | 190 grams (6.7 oz) |
| Decagon probe part no.: | 10HS |
| Sensor operating temperature: | 0° to +50°C (+32° to +122°F). Although the sensor probe and cable can safely operate at below-freezing temperatures (to -40°C/F) and the smart sensor tube (the white portion of the sensor cable that houses the electronics) can be exposed to temperatures up to +70°C (+158°F), the soil moisture data collected at these extreme temperatures is outside of the sensor’s accurate measurement range. Extended temperatures above +50°C (+122°F) will decrease logger battery life when using for the S-SMD-M005 smart sensor. |
| Volume of influence: | 1 liter (33.8 oz) |
| Sensor frequency: | 70 MHz |
| Logging Rate: | 12 |
| Number of data channels: | 1 |
| Measurement averaging option: | No |
| Cable length available: | 5 m (16 ft) |
| Length of Smart Sensor network cable: | 0.5 m (1.6 ft) |
| Battery Life: | – The CE Marking identifies this product as complying with all relevant directives in the European Union (EU) |
| Time Accuracy: | ± 1 minute per month at 25°C (77°F) |
| Full Memory Dowload: | Approximately 45 seconds; may take longer the farther the device is from the logger |
| Wetted Materials: | Polypropylene case, EPDM O-ring |
| Dimensions: | 3.35 x 5.64 x 1.6 cm (1.32 x 2.22 x 0.63 inches) |
| Weight: | 12.75 g (.45 oz) |
| The CE Marking identifies this product as complying with all relevant directives in the European Union (EU).This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. |
