Large sensor networks can make a giant hole in the research budget, especially because many soil moisture sensors have reliability issues. Plus, traditional sensors force you to choose between accuracy and affordability. Not anymore. The ultra-robust TEROS 10 delivers scientific accuracy and reliability at a price that makes large sensor networks economically practical.
The TEROS 10 soil water content sensor is a ruggedized version of our basic, no-frills soil moisture sensor. Its 70-MHz frequency minimizes salinity and textural effects, making it accurate in most soil or soilless media. With a tough, epoxy body, the TEROS 10 is designed to withstand some of the harshest field conditions, which means problem-free measurements over the longevity of your research. In fact, we're so confident about the long life of our TEROS sensor line, we've increased our standard warranty from one to three years.
The TEROS 10 sensor lets you characterize your site with sensors at multiple depths and locations, even on a tight budget. It's built to last longer in the field under harsh conditions. No more worrying about surprise data gaps due to failed sensors. It's one of our toughest soil moisture sensors, and its body withstands difficult environments for up to 10 years. Ideal for large sensing networks, it is sensitive to small VWC changes across the entire range of soil and substrate water content and can be installed in anything from dry desert soils to very wet peat. Not only that, the TEROS 10 has very low power consumption and a high resolution.
