Overview

The CS650 is a multiparameter smart sensor that uses innovative techniques to monitor soil volumetric water content, bulk electrical conductivity, and temperature. It outputs an SDI-12 signal that many of our data loggers can measure.

Benefits and Features

• More accurate water content measurements in soils with bulk EC up to 3 dS m^-1without performing a soil-specific calibration
• Larger sample volume reduces error
• Measurement corrected for effects of soil texture and electrical conductivity
• Estimates soil-water content for a wide range of mineral soils
• Versatile sensor—measures dielectric permittivity, bulk electrical conductivity (EC), and soil temperature
