SoilVUE™ 10 是一款基于Campbell TrueWave™ TDR 测量技术的土壤剖面水分传感器。它集土壤水分、电导率与温度测量为一体,是专为从事环境研究的科研人员和环境监测网络而研制。SoilVUE ™ 10 体现了土壤水分原位测量技术的创新和进步,是土壤剖面水分等状况监测的最佳选择。
Campbell Scientific 专有的TrueWave ™ TDR 技术将业内领先的信号上升时间与先进的波形分析技术相结合,从而准确确定高频信号的真实传输时间。测量过程将获取高时间分辨率和平滑的信号,其性能完全可以与其它TDR测量相媲美。值得一提的是,并非所有的TDR 的传感器都可以达到这样的测量性能。
SoilVUE ™ 10 将6 个或者9 个三探针TDR 电极复合到传感器的整体螺纹结构中,这一独特设计能够有效地改善传感器与土壤之间的接触,尽可能地避免由空气间隙导致的测量误差。测量时,传感器内部的TDR 测量电路将产生一个具有陡峭上升沿的阶跃电压信号(信号上升时间为91ps),并加载到螺旋形的TDR 波导上。之后,传感器将通过TDR 信号沿波导往返的信号传输时间来确定波导周围介质的介电常数,并进一步结合混合模型来计算土壤体积含水量。
SoilVUE ™ 10 土壤剖面水分传感器仅需要预先用土钻打好5cm 的圆孔(较传感器直径稍小),然后再将传感器旋入即可。安装过程不需要使用其它任何挖掘设备或者昂贵的专用工具。
传感器自带的线缆包含一个IP67 防护等级的M12 接头。线缆损坏时,可以在现场断开接头、快速更换线缆。
