TEROS 12

The TEROS-12 from METER Group (formally Decagon) is a soil moisture, temperature, and EC sensor is built with an epoxy body and stainless steel needles.

The internal circuitry is the same cutting edge design that you'll find in other METER Group soil moisture sensors, but the form factor has been optimized for use in soil-less substrates or harsh environments, giving it a wider range of EC measurement and an increased temperature range. Not only do the steel needles improve sensor contact, but they also improve the sensor's ability to measure EC in porous substrates such as peat or perlite.

 

accuracy at a fraction of the cost

The TEROS-12 measures water content, temperature, and EC independently. Its 70 MHz frequency minimizes salinity and textural effects, making it accurate in most soil or soilless media. Stainless steel needles have an extended surface area to optimize EC measurements, while minimizing substrate disturbance during insertion. Temperature is measured with an onboard thermistor, and electrical conductivity is measured using a stainless steel electrode array.

 

connect to the ZL6 or your own data logger

The TEROS-12 is a highly versatile sensor and is compatible with a range of data loggers. Connect the TEROS-12 to the ZL6 data loggers for hassle free monitoring. Data can be accessed from the ZL6 directly or remotely via the internet with the ZENTRA Cloud platform.

Alternatively, Edaphic Scientific can connect the TEROS-12 to the ES-LOG monitoring system with a range of other sensors including sap flow, dendrometers, canopy temperature and weather sensors.

Or, the TEROS-12 comes with SDI-12 digital output so that you can connect it to your own, existing data logging system.

whole system monitoring solutions

Edaphic Scientific is a one-stop shop for a whole system monitoring solution. We provide plant and soil monitoring systems for researchers and growers including wireless, LoRaWAN and modem options.

Our systems not only support soil water content sensors, but related sensors such as sap flow, dendrometers, weather parameters, and more.

At Edaphic Scientific we want to work with you from the start of your project through to its completion. We can provide:

• Assistance with project and experimental design

• Procurement of all monitoring equipment, including sensors, data loggers and data management software. Edaphic Scientific is a one-stop shop where we can source and find any necessary equipment for your project from our preferred suppliers or third party suppliers

• Installation and training

• On-going assistance with data interpretation and equipment maintenance

• Data correction and analysis, including statistical analysis with the R-package

• Report and publication preparation including tables, figures, graphs, and manuscript writing

 

advanced data collection and management solutions

Edaphic Scientific recognises the need for flexible and adaptable sensor and data logging solutions for experimental or environmental monitoring projects.

Data can be downloaded directly in the field from data loggers. A direct connection between the data loggers and your computer, via a USB cable, can be used for manual downloading of data.

Alternatively, data can be downloaded over the internet on your iPhone, iPad or desktop computer with the Sensori cloud-based, data management software solutions. Through this remote based downloading capabilities, you can download, view and manage your data, and system, anywhere in the world and at anytime.
