Description

The FST100-2006B soil pH sensor utilizes a durable, ion-selective electrode to provide stable and accurate pH readings in soil and aqueous media. Its integrated signal conditioning circuitry outputs a digital signal via an RS485 interface, making it resistant to electrical noise over long cable runs typical in agricultural and environmental monitoring setups.

Designed for permanent installation, the sensor’s housing and probe materials are selected for corrosion resistance in moist, chemically active soils. The fast response time of less than 15 seconds allows for real-time monitoring and control, essential for precision agriculture, greenhouse management, and scientific research in soil science.

Key Features

  • Engineered for soil and sewage pH monitoring with a focused 3-9 pH measurement range.
  • Digital RS485 Modbus output provides noise-immune communication suitable for industrial environments.
  • Broad operating voltage (12-24V DC) ensures compatibility with various field power sources.
  • High environmental durability with a 0-100% RH operating humidity rating and a 0-60°C temperature range.
  • Fast response time of under 15 seconds enables real-time system feedback and control.
  • High-resolution measurement with ±0.01 pH resolution for detecting subtle soil chemistry changes.
  • Direct-out 1-meter cable simplifies installation and connection to data acquisition systems.
  • Robust construction designed for long-term, continuous deployment in agricultural and environmental applications.

Applications

  • Precision agriculture and soil nutrient management systems.
  • Continuous pH monitoring in greenhouse irrigation and hydroponic setups.
