Campbell Scientific HydroSense water content sensor system

The HydroSense water content sensor system combines a compact, handheld display and a soil water sensing probe in a portable package to provide quick and reliable soil water content measurements.

Each measurement takes less than 1 s 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 it a suitable tool for monitoring and managing soil water in a wide range of conditions.

The portable water content system features the CD620 HydroSense display and the CS620 water content sensor. The system uses a time-domain reflectometry measurement technique and is designed for making attended measurements.

Extra rods are available for replacement or varied depth measurement.
