CS605用于TDR100/TDR200为核心的系统。建议CS605用于典型土壤(土壤容积电导率 ≤1.5 dS/m),线缆长度小于 15 m(从探头顶端到时域反射仪主机)。CS605探头的3根钢针的直径较大,并用大块环氧树脂封装,可安装在严酷的环境中。
CS605充当导波器,沿着探针的阻抗随周围土壤的介电常数变化而变化。因为介电常数的大小主要与含水量大小相关,所以由反射测量结果可以解析出土壤体积含水量。土壤容积电导率可由发射脉冲的衰减程度测定得到。
Campbell Scientific为我们TDR100/TDR200系统提供了6种TDR探头。它们具有不同的钢针和接口线缆,可适用于不同类型的土壤和不同长度的线缆。除了CS605之外,其它可用探头为CS610、CS630、CS635、CS640和CS645。

CS605-L: 1
In applications where TDR probes are used to measure soil water content, the maximum distance from the TDR probe back to the TDR100/TDR200 (even through one or more multiplexers) cannot exceed 15 m (50 ft) when using RG58 coaxial cable; the CS605-L, CS630-L, and CS640-L TDR probes have an RG58 cable. When using low-loss coaxial cable, the distance cannot exceed ≈25 m (80 ft); the CS610-L, CS635-L, and CS645-L TDR probes have a low-loss coaxial cable.
In slope stability and rock mass deformation applications, the maximum coaxial cable length should not exceed ≈1 mile (5,280 ft). The maximum combined length of all SDM cables in the system should not exceed ≈76 m (250 ft).
