HOBOnet Soil Moisture EC-5 Sensor - Taiwan

Integrates the field-proven ECH2O™ EC5 Sensor and provides readings directly in volumetric water content. This sensor's high-frequency design minimizes sensitivity to salinity and textural effects, and gives it a wide measurement range.

HOBOnet wireless sensors communicate data directly to the HOBO RX3000 or the HOBO MicroRX station, or pass data through other wireless sensors back to the central station. They are preconfigured and ready to deploy, and data is accessed through HOBOlink, Onset's innovative cloud software platform.
