Description

The SN-300SD-TR-N01 soil moisture sensor operates on the proven principle of frequency domain reflectometry (FDR), measuring the dielectric permittivity of the soil to determine its volumetric water content. Its specially treated alloy electrodes minimize the effects of corrosion and electrolysis, ensuring measurement stability and longevity even in saline environments. The sensor’s output is digitally transmitted via an RS485 interface, providing excellent noise immunity for integration over long cable runs into SCADA, PLC, or data logger systems.

Housed in a robust, fully sealed enclosure, the sensor is designed for permanent installation, capable of withstanding continuous burial or submersion. Its plug-and-play probe design simplifies deployment, while its low power consumption (<20 mA) makes it suitable for solar-powered remote monitoring stations. The sensor is calibrated using soil drying methods for high accuracy across a broad range of soil types.

Key Features

  • High-precision soil moisture measurement with German-grade calibration methodology.
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant alloy electrode construction for long-term reliability.
  • IP68-rated waterproof sealing protects internal electronics from moisture and soil.
  • Low-power operation (<20 mA) ideal for battery or solar-powered applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication protocol of the SN-300SD-TR-N01 sensor?

The sensor uses an RS485 digital interface, typically implementing the Modbus RTU protocol. This allows for reliable, multi-drop communication over long distances (up to 1200 meters), making it ideal for integration with PLCs, data loggers, and SCADA systems in agricultural and industrial settings.

What is the operating voltage range, and how do I power it?

The sensor operates on a wide 12-24V DC supply. You can connect it directly to a compatible DC power supply within this range. Ensure correct polarity when wiring. The low operating current (<20 mA) also makes it suitable for use with solar-charged battery systems in remote field installations.

Is this sensor suitable for permanent burial or use in water?

Yes. The SN-300SD-TR-N01 features a fully sealed, robust housing with an IP68-equivalent rating. It is designed for long-term, permanent installation directly in soil or even submerged in water, such as in hydroponic systems or water level monitoring applications, without degradation.

How do the alloy electrodes improve performance?

The specially treated alloy electrodes are highly resistant to corrosion and electrolysis, which are common failure modes for soil sensors. This construction ensures stable, accurate readings over extended periods, even in soils with high salinity or varying pH levels, significantly enhancing sensor lifespan.
