Monnit MNS2-9-IN-WS-WM-L05 ALTA Industrial Soil Moisture Sensor (900 MHz)

The ALTA® Wireless Soil Moisture Sensor measures soil moisture tension and soil temperature.

The ALTA Wireless Soil Moisture Sensor uses a resistive granular matrix element to accurately measure the soil's matric water potential (soil moisture tension). It also measures accurate soil temperatures. The sensor takes its measurements based on a user-configurable time interval or Heartbeat. On every Heartbeat, the soil moisture element takes a resistive measurement within a defined and consistent internal matrix material. The sensor also uses a temperature element on the end of the soil moisture lead to make accurate soil temperature measurements. These measurements are then sent to the gateway, making the data available in iMonnit or another approved data service.
