Long Range Wireless IoT Soil Moisture Temperature EC Sensor
Introducing NCD’s Long Range IoT Wireless Soil Moisture Temperature EC Sensor, boasting up to a 2 Mile range using a wireless mesh networking architecture. This long range IoT wireless Soil Moisture Temperature EC sensor incorporates a stainless steel Soil probe that samples Soil Moisture Temperature EC level at user defined intervals and sends a wireless transmission to remote gateways and modems. After sampling, this device goes to sleep to minimize power consumption and prolong battery life. To minimize power consumption, it sleeps during the time it is not checking for change in soil moisture level. Both of these features work together, supporting multiple application areas in one package.
This wireless Soil Moisture Temperature EC sensor makes it possible to monitor soil moisture in multiple locations either outdoors or in greenhouses to monitor soil saturation conditions. The soil moisture measurement range is 0-100% and the EC measurement range is 0-20000us/cm. The included probe is 10cm and the included cable is 3 Meters in length.
Powered by just 4 AA batteries and an operational lifetime of 500,000 wireless transmissions, a 10 years battery life can be expected depending on environmental conditions and the data transmission interval. Optionally, this sensor may be externally powered.
