SeeedStudio Industrial Soil Moisture, Temperature, EC Sensor MODBUS-RTU RS485 (MTEC-02A)
Description SeeedStudio Industrial Soil Moisture, Temperature, EC Sensor MODBUS-RTU RS485 (MTEC-02A) Measures moisture, temperature, and EC accurately Operates under MODBUS-RTU RS485 protocol Ensures long-term use with IP68 rating Compatible with various soil types Ideal for horticulture and precision agriculture The SeeedStudio Industrial Soil Moisture, Temperature, EC Sensor MODBUS-RTU RS485 (MTEC-02A) is a sophisticated device designed for precise environmental monitoring in various soil applications. It integrates three critical sensors into a single unit, capable of measuring soil moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity (EC) with high accuracy and sensitivity. This sensor is particularly suitable for use in horticulture, gardening, and other industrial environmental sensing scenarios, providing reliable data collection and management when paired with the SenseCAP Data Logger. Engineered to meet industry standards, the sensor features a robust and durable design, with an IP68 rating that ensures its suitability for long-term immersion in soil and other substrates. The stainless steel probe can be permanently inserted into the soil, allowing for continuous monitoring and quick testing. The sensor's auto temperature compensation feature guarantees accurate measurements across a wide range of environmental conditions, making it adaptable to various soil types by measuring the dielectric constant of the soil to determine volumetric water content (VWC). The sensor's versatility extends to its application in scientific experiments, water-saving irrigation, greenhouses, outdoor farming, golf turf management, forestry, and precision agriculture. It is also capable of measuring EC levels in water, nutrient solutions, and other substrates, making it a valuable tool for professional environmental monitoring. The device operates on a universal MODBUS-RTU RS485 protocol, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of systems and facilitating seamless integration into existing setups.
