TDR-150

soil water, temperature & EC meter



overview

The TDR-150 Soil Moisture Meter is an easy to use, portable, handheld meter that is ideal for measuring soil water content, or relative water content, in soils typical for Australia and New Zealand.

The TDR-150 can also measure soil temperature and electrical conductivity (EC).

The TDR-150 Soil Moisture Meter measurement principle is based on Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) and is considered one of the most accurate approaches to measuring soil moisture. The TDR-150 will be highly accurate across all soil types where EC is less than 2mS/cm.

The TDR-150 operates off 4 x AAA batteries that have a life of approximately 12 months.

Select from the 3.8cm, 7.5cm, 12cm or 20cm probe rods (sold separately) to suit your measurement depth. The LCD interface provides two modes: volumetric water content and relative water content (irrigation management) mode.

For data logging and GPS capabilities, see the TDR-350 Soil Moisture Meter.
