TEROS 22

The newest generation of matric water potential sensor is now the quickest water potential sensor to install and remove, with the same high accuracy and low maintenance you’ve come to expect and trust from METER. Over 40 years of experience has  brought us to the next evolution of simple and precise water potential measurements — Introducing the TEROS 22.

features

• Easy to install and remove
• Install via 16 mm (5/8 in) drill hole or in the side of a trench
• Tough, long-lasting body
• No recalibration needed
• Low salt sensitivity
• Affordable
• Excellent range (sensitivity from 0 kPa all the way to air dry [-100,000 kPa])
• Onboard temperature measurement
• Plug-and-play capability
• Use with the ZL6 data logger for remote access to data on the cloud
• DDI Serial and SDI-12 compatible

 

continuous monitoring with seasonal flexibility

Choose an instrument that conforms to your installation needs instead of compromising your research. While trenching at installation and removal works for some, it is limiting for research areas such as agricultural environments and geotechnical engineering projects. That’s why the TEROS 22 is designed with the flexibility to be installed with a drill-mounted masonry bit or the traditional trenching method, making water potential measurements available to just about any application. Keep the sensor in place for years at time for continuous monitoring or remove seasonally, giving you the flexibility to adapt to changing plans and work around seasonal agricultural schedules.

 

a true full-range water potential sensor that’s low maintenance and low-cost

The TEROS 22 water potential sensor is incredibly easy to use. It requires no maintenance, and it’s accurate enough for most applications. In fact, the TEROS 22 provides an even more accurate soil moisture picture than measuring water content alone. Plus, unlike water content, matric potential isn’t dependent on soil type, so you can compare moisture between different sites. Just like the TEROS 21, the TEROS 22 is surprisingly affordable and measures all the way from near saturation to air dry (0 to −100,000 kPa) making them both true full range water potential sensors.

 

measure more within your budget

We offer them at a low cost so you don’t have to spend more money to get the coverage you need. And, because they use less energy and include a temperature sensor, you get even more value.

 

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.

Our systems not only support soil 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

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.
