Soil moisture sensor Robotrack
The sensor has a probe for determining soil moisture by measuring the electrical capacitance of the environment. The sensor has an oscillation generator, to the circuit of which a probe is connected. When the environment around the probe changes, the capacitance of the probe drops, which is reflected in the frequency of the generator. The microcontroller built into the Sensor determines the oscillation frequency of the generator and calculates the level of water saturation in the environment. 1) Soil moisture measurement range - 0..100±2% 2) Supply voltage - 5±0.5 V 3) Sensor current consumption, no more than 20 mA 4) Cable length - 250±10 mm 5) Overall dimensions LxWxH - 115x30.5x15 mm 6) Weight - 30 g.
