Soil Moisture Sensor (TDR-315H)
TDR-315H
The TDR-315H is one of MUNRO’s H-series sensors, which are very low power and suited perfectly for power-conscious applications. Being part of the Soil Smart Series means that its advanced waveform analysis works with all mineral soil types. It is a complete integrated time domain reflectometer that combines ultra-fast waveform generating and digitizing functions with a precision 5 pico-second resolution time base and highly sophisticated waveform digitizing and analyzing firmware that provides true time domain analysis of soil-propagated waveforms. It’s longer waveguides provide a very large sampling volume and high accuracy of the waveform propagation.
Its form factor is designed for shallower horizontal installations where it is pushed into the sidewall of a trench that has been dug to the desired measurement depth. A probe guide is provided to ensure that the waveguide rods are parallel when pushing them into the soil. It provides reading data through a 3-wire SDI-12 interface and is compatible with any data recorder that is compliant with SDI-12 version 1.4 and earlier.
