▋ Product Description

        BOY-SO05 Tubular multi-layer soil moisture sensor is a high-precision and high-sensitivity soil moisture temperature measuring instrument. It adopts the principle of FDR to measure the moisture of each soil layer according to the frequency change of the electromagnetic wave emitted by the monitor in different dielectric constant substances, and uses high-precision digital temperature sensor to measure the temperature of each soil layer.



▋ Product Characteristics

● The sensor has the characteristics of low power consumption, small size, easy installation, operation and maintenance.

● With multi-depth moisture and temperature change measurement capabilities, the standard depth of 10cm, 20cm, 30cm, 40cm, up to 10 layers of monitoring nodes can be customized, real-time monitoring, fast and convenient;

● The use of high-quality plastic pipe, can prevent aging, more resistant to soil acid, alkali and salt corrosion;

● Epoxy resin as a sealing material, can be soaked in water for a long time without leakage;

● High measurement accuracy, reliable performance;

● Support RS485 digital output according to requirements, and 4G wireless network data transmission;

● Optional GPS, tilt measurement and vibration alarm functions;

● With power cord, signal line protection against misconnection.

The sensor is suitable for water-saving agricultural irrigation, greenhouse vegetables, flower gardening, grassland pasture, soil rapid measurement, plant culture, scientific experiment and other fields.

▋ Application



▋ FAQ

1. The sensor has no data
First of all, check that the battery voltage in the monitor is too low to check whether the charging cable of the device is faulty and whether the battery is damaged;
Secondly, check whether it is caused by wiring problems or communication serial port failures. Please check whether the wiring is correct and firm, whether the serial port is occupied, and whether the serial port Settings are correct.

2 The value of the data is smaller than the actual value
First, check that the soil disturbance caused by the installation has not been eliminated by injecting about 20 liters of water near the sensor, and observe after 24 hours whether it has been normal. If it is still low, repeat the process 3-5 times.
Secondly, check that no special punching tools are used to punch holes.
