This is a TEROS 12 sensor that measures soil moisture, temperature, and electroconductivity with Modbus digital output. This sensor is fit for a range of soil types and EC levels so you can be confident in the accuracy of your data. This sensor features a 1.01 liter volume of influence.
The TEROS 12 soil moisture sensor combines METER’s well-tested 70 MHz circuitry, a rugged epoxy fill, and salt-resistant, securely attached stainless steel needles that easily slip into soil. Low power consumption and high resolution provide increased precision over long periods of time.
