Ecomatik - Model Type DR1W -Rugged Radius Dendrometer
Rugged Radius Dendrometer (Type DR1W) for measuring changes in radius of plant stems. Thank you for purchasing an Ecomatik Dendrometer type DR1W. This is a highly precise sensor for continuous measurements of radius changes of trees under extreme environmental conditions (in the soil, under water or snow, heavy exposure to dust, corrosive agents such as sea water, or volcanic ashes).
This manual is written to help you install and operate your DR1W 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 blow, the waterproof radius dendrometer consists of:
- Sensor with 5 m cable. The cable length is extendable to 100 m
- Aluminum frame
- Special screws for fixing the frame onto the plant stem
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.
