HOBOnet Multi-Depth Soil Moisture Sensor

This sensor uses GroPoint’s TDT5 technology to measure soil moisture along the entire length of each probe segment. A high frequency of pulses per measurement provide consistent and accurate soil moisture data. The PILOT-ROD4 (28″) compatible with the 3-segment and 4-segment sensors (RXW-GP3A and RXW-GP4A) and the PILOT-ROD6 (40″) compatible with the 6-segment sensor (RXW-GP6A) are recommended by Onset for quick and easy installation.

Data can be accessed through the HOBOnet system, Onset’s wireless sensor network. HOBOnet allows for internet monitoring of field conditions and is ideal for applications such as crop management, research, and greenhouse operations. To avoid the risk of long cables that can interfere with field operations, a network of multiple sensors can be deployed to easily monitor multiple points.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Requires a HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station, HOBOnet Wireless Manager, and a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor OR one HOBO MicroRX Station (with an integrated HOBOnet Wireless Manager) and a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor for a complete system. To extend the range, HOBOnet Wireless Repeaters (RXW-RPTR-xxx or RXW-RPTR-B-xxx) can be added.
