Introduction
This Soil Moisture & Temperature Sensor MODBUS-RTU RS485 (S-Soil MT-02A) is designed with industry standards. It
incorporates two sensors (soil moistures sensor and soil temperature sensor) into one, featuring high precision and high
sensitivity. By measuring the dielectric constant of the soil, it can stably measure the soil VWC (volumetric water content)
regardless of various soil types. The measurement conforms to current international standards for soil moisture measurement.
This soil sensor is IP68 rated, very robust and durable, suitable to be applied at long-term monitoring of soil moisture and temperature
at scientic experiments, water-saving irrigation, greenhouses, outdoor farming, gardening, precision agriculture, and other professional
environmental monitoring scenarios.
