Sentek Diviner 2000

Diviner 2000 is a portable and robust device measuring soil water over multiple depths (at 10 cm intervals) in the profile. Diviner 2000 consists of a probe and hand-held data logging display unit allowing the user to make onsite management decisions at up to 99 sites. The Diviner 2000 probe length is available in 3 sizes, 0.7 metre, 1.0 metre and 1.6 metres making it ideal for a wide range of applications. The sensor technology of Diviner 2000 utilizes Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) to measure soil water throughout the profile.

Diviner 2000 Display Unit Stores data from up to 99 sites Data viewed on the large backlit LCD display screen Graphical and tabular display of data allowing for instant management decisions Hand held Light weight Readily downloaded into Sentek’s IrriMAX software

Onset Micrologger and ECH2O Moisture Sensors

Measure soil water content with the affordably-priced Soil Moisture Smart Sensor for the HOBO Weather Station. The Soil Moisture smart sensor integrates the field-proven ECH₂O™ Sensor and a 12-bit A/D, providing ± 3% accuracy in typical soil conditions, and ± 1% accuracy with soil-specific calibration. The sensor’s thin profile and 20 cm probe length make the sensor easy to install, while measuring a representative cross-section of soil. Readings are provided directly in volumetric water content. The sensor has relatively low sensitivity to salinity and temperature effects.

Each Micro Station Logger can log over 500,000 measurements and will operate for up to one year using only four AA batteries. EEPROM memory retains collected data even if the batteries fail. Setting up the Logger, its start time and sampling rates, as well as data analysis, graphing and file export are accomplished in easy-to-use BoxCar® Pro 4.3.

HydroSense System

The HydroSense System combines a compact, handheld display and a sophisticated soil water sensing probe in a portable package to provide quick and reliable soil water content measurements. Each measurement takes less than one second and is obtained by inserting the probe rods into the soil and pressing a single button on the display unit. A choice of 12- or 20-cm long probe rods makes HydroSense a versatile tool for monitoring and managing soil water in a wide range of conditions.
