The SM150 Soil Moisture Kit provides an affordable and easy-to-use tool for obtaining reliable moisture measurements with minimal soil or substrate disturbance.
The SM150T’s advanced patented electronics and tough build produce a highly reliable soil moisture sensor with exceptional salinity and temperature stability. The SM150T is engineered to withstand long-term burial – the sensor, connectors, and cable are all environmentally protected to IP68. It offers moisture accuracy of ± 3% (after soil-specific calibration) and the built-in temperature sensor achieves ± 0.5°C.
The SM150T is a dual-purpose soil moisture sensor – it can be used portably for instant moisture readings or left installed in the soil connected to a data logger, to provide long-term moisture and temperature data.
The SM150T can be logged by any Delta-T Devices data logger and by many loggers from other manufacturers (simple 0-1 V output for moisture, 10K thermistor for temperature). To record temperature the sensor must be fully buried and connected to a data logger..
The SM150T is available as part of the convenient SM150 Kit, complete with a carry case and HH150 readout meter. Find out more about the SM150 Kit.
Please note that the HH150 Meter supplied with the SM150 Kit is a readout-only device. If PC connectivity for data storage and download is a requirement, the SM150T should be used with the HH2 Moisture Meter instead.
NB: When used in portable mode the SM150T Sensor does not provide temperature indication.
