CS650-LC 是多参数智能传感器,使用革新的技术监测土壤体积含水量、容积电导率和土壤温度。该传感器用于ET107蒸散气象站。
备注:此线缆接头专门为ET107气象站定制,如果需要其它接头类型,请选择CS650 。
CS650-LC含有连接到印刷电路板的2根30 cm长的不锈钢探针。电路板用环氧树脂封装,附着在电路板的带屏蔽线缆提供与数据采集器的连接。
CS650-LC测量传输时间、信号衰减和温度;再从这些原始测量值解析得到介电常数、体积含水量和容积电导率。
测量的信号衰减是用于反射检测的损失效应及传播时间的修正。损失效应修正可以让探头在容积电导率 ≤3 dS m-1 的土壤中,测量出高精度的体积含水量,并不需要实施特定的土壤校准。
由衰减测量还可以计算得到土壤容积电导率。靠近环氧树脂表面的与探针保持热接触的热敏电阻用来测量温度。如果传感器水平安装,可以得到与土壤含水量测量相同深度的精确温度测量。如果以其它的方位安装传感器,那么温度测量只能代表环氧树脂附近探针的区域。

External RF sources can affect the probe’s operation. Therefore, the probe should be located away from significant sources of RF such as ac power lines and motors.
Multiple CS650-LC probes can be installed within 4 inches of each other when using the standard data logger SDI-12 “M” command. The SDI-12 “M” command allows only one probe to be enabled at a time.
The 14384 Pilot Tool has rods with similar diameters and the same spacing as the probe. The tool can be driven into the soil using force levels that might damage the probe. After removing the 14384, the probe is inserted into the established holes.
The 14383 Installation Tool can be used to help maintain the proper spacing and parallel orientation of rods during insertion. Use of the 14383 may reduce measurement errors by minimizing soil disturbance.
Current CS650 and CS655 firmware.
Note: The Device Configuration Utility and A200 Sensor-to-PC Interface are required to upload the included firmware to the sensor.
