The TEROS 12 sensor integrates three key measurement capabilities: soil moisture, electrical conductivity (EC), and temperature. It features a robust epoxy body and durable stainless steel needles designed for longevity in various soil types and substrates.

The sensor utilizes 70 MHz capacitance technology for precise readings, minimizing the impact of salinity and textural variations in the medium.

Persediaan dan Pemasangan

  1. Membongkar dan Pemeriksaan

    Carefully remove the TEROS 12 sensor from its packaging. Inspect the sensor body, needles, and cable for any signs of damage. Ensure the universal twist-lock connector is intact.

  2. Keserasian Substrat

    The TEROS 12 is designed for use in soil, coco coir, and rockwool substrates. It is bukan intended for use in liquids.

  3. Penempatan Sensor

    For accurate readings, ensure good contact between the sensor needles and the substrate. Avoid air gaps around the needles. For spot-checks, insert the sensor directly into the desired measurement location.

Arahan Operasi

The TEROS 12 sensor operates by sending data to a compatible data logger or monitoring system. Refer to the manual of your specific data logger (e.g., Aroya Solus, ZSC Bluetooth module) for instructions on data acquisition, calibration, and interpretation.

  • Kelembapan tanah: The sensor measures volumetric water content. Readings will vary based on substrate type and density.
  • Electrical Conductivity (EC): The sensor provides bulk EC readings. This is crucial for managing nutrient levels.
  • Suhu: The sensor measures the temperature of the substrate at the point of insertion.

For optimal results, ensure the sensor is fully inserted into the substrate and that the needles are not bent or damaged.

Penyelenggaraan

  • Pembersihan: After use, especially when moving the sensor between different substrates, gently clean the sensor body and needles with a soft cloth and clean water. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
  • Storan: Store the sensor in a clean, dry environment when not in use. Protect the needles from bending or damage.
  • Pemeriksaan: Periodically inspect the sensor for any physical damage, particularly to the needles and cable.

Menyelesaikan masalah

Masalah Kemungkinan Punca Penyelesaian
Bacaan tidak tepat Poor sensor-substrate contact; air gaps; damaged needles; incorrect calibration of data logger. Re-insert sensor ensuring full contact; check needles for damage; refer to data logger manual for calibration.
Tiada bacaan Loose connection; faulty cable; incompatible data logger; sensor malfunction. Check cable connection; try a different cable if available; ensure data logger compatibility; contact support if sensor is suspected faulty.
Readings fluctuate wildly Electrical interference; unstable power supply to data logger; sensor not fully immersed. Ensure sensor is away from strong electrical fields; check power supply; ensure full insertion into substrate.
