Ecomatik - Model Type DD-S2 -Diameter Dendrometer
Diameter Dendrometer Type DD-S2 for measuring changes in diameter of plants. Thank you for purchasing an Ecomatik Dendrometer type DD-S2. This is a highly precise sensor for continuous measurements of diameter changes of small plants under both indoor and outdoor conditions. The DD-S2 is designed for a fast and toolless installation.
This manual is written to help you install and operate your DD-S2 dendrometer with least difficulty and for desirable results. Please read it carefully before installing the sensor, and refer to it if you should have any difficulty with the sensor in the future.
The dendrometer is the sensor part of a measuring system. This means that the dendrometer should be connected to a data logger for continuous data recording. The dendrometer is compatible with the most data logger types. At Ecomatik a low-cost, special for dendrometers developed DL18 logger is available.
As shown below, the DD-S2 dendrometer consists of:
- 1x Sensor body with two knurled-head nuts to lock quick-mount frames, standard sensor
- cable length 5 m (extendable to 100 m)
- 2x Quick-mount frame for two different diameter ranges, 0 to 2.2 cm or 1.8 to 5 cm
- 2x Pieces UV-resistant perforated rubber belt to fix dendrometer at the stem/branch
- 4x Pieces UV-resistant rubber band (3x 20 cm, 1x 50cm, reusable) to fix the sensor cable at the branch/stem for strain relief.
Please contact us should you miss anything of these items
The standard cable length is 5 m. if you ordered cable extension, the cable length is the ordered extension + 5 m.
To meet the requirements of different loggers, there are 2 different types of cables: cable with plug and cable without plug. Cable with plug can only be connected to Dendrometer Logger DL18. Cable without plug can be connected to other loggers.
