GeoPrecisionModel SDI12 Sensor - Matric Potential & Soil Temperature pF-Meter

SHARE

The new measerment procedure of the pF- meter  is based on the registration of the volumetric heat capacity. A ceramic membran get in balance with the soil tensions. Inside the ceramic membran a special sensor measure continuously the water content, witch is adapted to the hydraulic potential. hereby the matrix potential can be measured  active and directly, like a conventionally water filled tensiometer.

  • large measuerement range (pF 0.0 to 7.0 = 1 to 10.000.000 hPa / mBar)
  • maintenance free
  • fast reaction (comparable to traditional water filled tensiometer)
  • simultan measurement of soil temperature (accuracy: ± 0.25°C)
  • directly and active measurement of matric potential (using ceramic membran)
  • measurements values not influenced by soil salinity
  • frost proof
  • output signal:(SDI-12) or analoge (0 to 7 volt = pF 0.0 to pF 7.0/ without temperature)

The pF-meter delivers digital data either in pF-value or in mbar (hPa). The modern, digital SDI12-concept prevents measurement errors so that cable lengths up to 50 m are applicable.

Measurement networks with up to 24 pF-meters are realisable in connection with the network-compatible GPRS logger from GeoPrecision (i-log).
