Pipe type soil moisture monitoring station

1、 Product Introduction

Pipe type soil moisture monitoring stationIt is a sensor based on the principle of dielectric constant. This detector can dynamically observe the soil moisture content and temperature status at different levels. It can detect the temperature and humidity status of 3 layers of soil and 5 layers of soil. It can quickly and comprehensively understand the soil moisture information, scientifically formulate drought resistance scheduling plans, provide decision support for correctly commanding drought relief, and minimize disaster losses. The product adopts standard Modbus-RTU485 communication, which can communicate up to 2000 meters and supports secondary development.

The product shell is made of PVC plastic pipe, which can penetrate high-frequency detection waves of nearly 1G Hz well and is not affected by salt ions in the soil. Agricultural activities such as fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation, etc. will not affect the measurement results, and it also provides good protection for the circuit.

The product is suitable for detecting soil moisture and drought information, or for real-time monitoring of meteorological, water and rain conditions, soil moisture, agricultural conditions, water conservancy engineering water storage and diversion, and other places.

2、 Product Features

• Not affected by salt ions in the soil, agricultural activities such as fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation, etc. will not affect the measurement results, and the data is accurate.

• The electrodes of the sensor are not in direct contact with the soil to avoid interference from electricity on the soil and plants in the soil.

• The product adopts the standard Modbus-RTU485 communication mode, with a distance of 2000 meters for remote communication.

• Supports 10-30V wide voltage charging.

3、 Technical parameters

4、 Equipment size and detection height

The product adopts a layered observation structure, with one temperature observation point on the ground and one soil temperature and humidity measurement point every 10cm underground to observe the soil temperature and humidity within the corresponding range.

5、 Pre installation inspection of equipment

Equipment List:

Pipe type soil moisture monitoring stationa

One copy of certificate of conformity, warranty card, etc

One USB to 485 converter (optional)

Solar charging panel (optional)

Soil drill (optional)

Prepare your own checklist

Water, bucket, gloves (choose according to personal needs)

6、 Installation location selection

• Install equipment after sowing crops;

• The installation location needs to be flat terrain;

• Under comprehensive irrigation conditions, priority should be given to selecting areas with less water harvesting as monitoring locations; Under local irrigation conditions, select moist areas as monitoring locations;

• Select locations where crop growth is balanced and can represent the majority of crop growth;

• To understand the root distribution of the monitored crops, it is generally recommended to choose a location closer to the water absorbing roots of the crops.

Attention: The installation location of the equipment should be chosen at a relatively high altitude to prevent rainwater from pouring into the interior of the equipment and causing short circuits or circuit failures.

7、 Installation method

Use a soil drill to drill holes in suitable locations

1. Place the soil drill vertically on the ground, grip the handle tightly with both hands, and slowly rotate it by pressing down clockwise. (Attention: Do not apply too much force, make sure to rotate slowly for a few more turns to prevent the drill bit from deviating and causing the hole to become crooked)

2. Remove the soil drill from the hole and place it in a bucket. Collect the soil from the drill into the bucket using the following steps and mud. (Note: Due to excessive impurities during soil drilling, collection will not be carried out)

3. Repeatedly drill and take soil as described above, and during this process, try to gently insert the sensor into the hole (do not forcefully touch the bottom of the device) to test whether the depth of the hole is appropriate; If there is any lag, use a soil drill to correct it to ensure smooth insertion and removal of the sensor; Until the hole depth is flush with the installation position marked by the sensor, the drilling is completed.
