Digital Soil Compaction MeterUsed to measure soil compaction, compacted soil can prevent water infiltration, reduce fertilizer utilization, affect plant root growth, and even reduce crop yields by 30%.
Product Application:
When pressure is applied to the system, the front end of the probe comes into contact with the soil and feels the pressure. The system collects this pressure signal and converts it into soil compaction, which is the pressure value, through the built-in calibration curve. At the same time, the built-in collector of the system can store data and download it to the computer through the RS232 standard interface.
Product Features:
The query displays the measurement results for each increase of 2.5 centimeters
Digital display PSI/IN or Kpa/cm
Sound alarm when inserting too quickly
RS232 interface can download data
ASAE (American Society of Agricultural Engineers) Design Standards
Can be used in conjunction with GPS to draw a distribution map of soil compaction degree
Usage:
Instrument installation:
Connect the sensor plug and handle, and then fix it to the host.
After turning on, use the up and down keys to set the zero and unit (PSI/kPa), and press the OK key to save.
Data collection:
Hold the sensor handle and insert it vertically into the soil to the target depth (e.g. 450mm).
The instrument automatically records the resistance value (accuracy ± 103kPa) and depth (accuracy ± 1.25cm).
Data export:
Connect to the computer via RS232 interface or USB, and use the accompanying software to export data (can store 772 sets).
Maintenance tip: Clean the probe after use to avoid soil residue; Regularly check the battery level (approximately 12 months lifespan).
