Description

The SN-3000-TR-EC5W5S-NO1 utilizes dielectric constant measurement technology to provide accurate, non-destructive volumetric water content readings across multiple soil horizons. Its integrated temperature and conductivity sensors deliver a comprehensive soil health profile, enabling precise irrigation scheduling and nutrient management.

Engineered for permanent installation, the sensor features a durable PVC tube body with the sensing section rated IP68 for submersion and long-term burial. The RS485 Modbus output ensures stable, noise-immune communication over long cable runs, making it suitable for integration into distributed agricultural monitoring networks, research stations, and smart farming platforms.

Key Features

  • Layered soil analysis with detection depths from 0cm to 50cm at 10cm intervals.
  • Integrated soil conductivity measurement range from 0 to 20,000 μS/cm.
  • Fast system response time of ≤60 seconds for dynamic monitoring.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for large-scale deployment in field applications.
  • Low operating current (30-100mA) for reduced power consumption in solar-powered systems.
  • Durable construction with materials selected for corrosion resistance and long-term stability.

Applications

  • Precision irrigation control systems for optimizing water usage in row crops and orchards.
  • Soil health and salinity monitoring networks for agricultural research and environmental science.
  • Integrated sensor nodes within smart farming and IoT-based agricultural platforms.
  • Geotechnical engineering projects requiring long-term soil moisture and temperature profiling.
  • Greenhouse and nursery management systems for automated climate and fertigation control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the measurement depth and interval for this soil sensor?

The sensor provides measurements at six distinct points: one at the surface and five underground layers. The underground detection points are spaced at 10cm intervals, covering depths from 10cm to 50cm, allowing for a detailed vertical soil profile.

What communication protocol does this sensor use and how do I connect it?

It uses an RS485 serial interface with the Modbus RTU protocol. Connect the sensor's A and B wires to your RS485 bus, provide a 10-30V DC power supply, and use a Modbus master (like a PLC, data logger, or USB converter) to poll the register addresses for temperature, moisture, and conductivity data from each layer.

Is this sensor suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

Yes, it is designed for long-term outdoor deployment. The PVC tube body is weather-resistant, and the underground sensing section is rated IP68, meaning it is protected against prolonged immersion in water and dust ingress, making it suitable for direct burial in soil.

What is the power requirement for the SN-3000-TR-EC5W5S-NO1 sensor?

The sensor operates on a wide-range DC supply of 10 to 30 volts, with a typical operating current between 30mA and 100mA. This flexibility allows it to be powered by standard 12V or 24V industrial power supplies or solar-charged battery systems commonly used in field applications.
