THE TDR-310W-NEW
New release from Acclima’s Soil Smart Series.
A fully integrated digital TDR soil moisture sensor that delivers superior accuracy in various soil types and soilless media.
Sized with 10 cm waveguide rods to fit well with rockwool cubes for greenhouses.
The TDR-310W has been specifically designed for tighter spaces.
Compatible with our RD1200 Handheld Reader.
Data Sheet includes Product Specifications and Support documentation for the Soil Smart Range: 315N, 310N, 310W, 305N.
Please contact us for further information.
No external signal generation/processing electronics equipment needed
Costs a fraction of the price of traditional TDRs
TDR accuracy
Convenient SDI-12 Digital output
DATA CAPTURED:
Volumetric Water Content (0 to 100% with 0.1% resolution)
Permittivity (1 to 80 with 0.1 unit resolution)
Bulk EC (0 to 5000 μS/cm - resolution depends on reading range)
Pore Water EC (0 to 55000 μS/cm)
Temperature (- 40 to +60 degrees C with 0.1 degree resolution)
TDR TECHNOLOGY
Widely recognised as the pinnacle of moisture sensing technology, TRUE TDR sensors have always been limited by a number of factors: low portability, bandwidth limiting coaxial lead cable, and high cost (many thousands of dollars).
The founder of Acclima Inc, Scott Anderson has changed all that. Leading years of research refining and miniaturising TDR technology, this year releasing this sensor with all required electronics, algorithms and signal processing contained within the sensor's rugged epoxy resin casing with an industry standard SDI-12 interface.
highly suited to "insertion style" soil readings making the sensor very user-friendly in the field.
Acclima Reliability
Rugged 316 stainless-steel waveguide. Expected in-service life in excess of 20 years.
