Description

The ZTS-3000-TR-WS-N01 soil sensor utilizes the frequency domain reflection (FDR) principle, measuring the soil’s dielectric constant to determine volumetric water content with high stability and minimal salinity drift. Its advanced signal conditioning electronics provide robust, noise-immune readings suitable for long-term deployment.

Encased in a fully sealed 316L stainless steel housing with an IP68 rating, the sensor is built to withstand prolonged burial, chemical fertilizers, and wide temperature fluctuations. The versatile output interface allows for direct connection to industrial PLCs, SCADA systems, Raspberry Pi/Arduino with RS485 shields, or standalone data loggers, making it a core component for precision agriculture and environmental research.

Key Features

  • High-Frequency FDR Sensing Technology for stable, accurate soil moisture measurement.
  • Industrial-Grade 316L Stainless Steel Probe for maximum corrosion and abrasion resistance.
  • Fully Sealed IP68 Waterproof Design guarantees reliable operation in saturated or flooded soil conditions.
  • Multi-Protocol Output Flexibility includes RS485 Modbus-RTU for networked systems, 4-20mA for long-distance analog transmission, and 0-10V for direct voltage reading.
  • Wide Operating Temperature Range from –40°C to 80°C ensures performance in extreme climates.
  • Low Power Consumption with a working current ≤20mA, ideal for solar-powered or battery-operated remote stations.
  • Fast Response Time of under 3 seconds enables real-time monitoring for automated irrigation triggers.
  • Optimized Performance-to-Cost Ratio delivers laboratory-grade accuracy in a rugged, field-ready package.

Applications

  • Precision Irrigation Scheduling in smart agriculture and vineyard water management systems.
  • Soil Condition Monitoring for meteorological stations and climate change research networks.
  • Automated Nutrient & Water Delivery in commercial greenhouses and hydroponic cultivation.
  • Landscape & Turf Management for golf courses, parks, and sports fields to optimize water usage.
  • Environmental Remediation Studies monitoring soil moisture and temperature for landfill caps or contaminated site management.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the ZTS-3000-TR-WS sensor?

The sensor operates from a wide 4.5V to 30V DC supply. This range accommodates various power sources, from 5V microcontroller boards and 12V battery systems to standard 24V industrial PLC power supplies, ensuring flexible integration into both field and controlled environments.

How do I communicate with this sensor using the RS485 output?

The RS485 interface uses the Modbus-RTU protocol. You will need an RS485 to USB or RS485 to TTL converter to connect it to a computer or microcontroller. Ensure proper wiring of A/B data lines and termination if required. Standard Modbus function codes are used to read the moisture and temperature holding registers as defined in the product datasheet.

Is the sensor probe truly waterproof for long-term burial?

Yes, the probe is constructed from 316L stainless steel and is sealed to an IP68 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and can withstand continuous immersion in water under pressure. This makes it perfectly suited for permanent installation in saturated or flooded soil conditions without risk of water ingress damaging the internal electronics.

Can I get a custom version with different outputs or measured parameters?

Yes, the manufacturer indicates this product line can be customized. Parameters like pH, conductivity (EC), or NPK can potentially be integrated, and the output can be specified as RS485, 4-20mA, 0-5V, or 0-10V at the time of order. Contact the supplier directly with your specific requirements for a tailored solution.
