10HS Soil Moisture Smart Sensor
Specification
Soil Moisture Sensor Specifications (Decagon 10HS)
| Measurement Range |
0 to 0.570 m³/m³ (volumetric water content) |
| Accuracy |
±0.033 m³/m³ (±3.3%) typical 0 to +50°C (+32° to +122°F) for mineral soils up to 10 dS/m
±0.020 m³/m³ (±2%) with soil specific calibration |
| Resolution |
0.0008 m³/m³ (0.08%) |
| Soil Probe Dimensions |
160 x 32 x 2 mm (6.5 x 1.25 x 0.08 in.) |
| Weight |
190 grams (6.7 oz) |
| Decagon Probe Part No. |
10HS |
| Sensor Operating Temperature |
0° to +50°C (+32° to +122°F). Although the sensor probe and cable can safely operate at below-freezing temperatures (to -40°C/F) and the smart sensor tube (the white portion of the sensor cable that houses the electronics) can be exposed to temperatures up to +70°C (+158°F), the soil moisture data collected at these extreme temperatures is outside of the sensor’s accurate measurement range. Extended temperatures above +50°C (+122°F) will decrease logger battery life when using the S-SMD-M005 smart sensor. |
