Precise as a laboratory and as mobile as a cell phone.

This TDR device measuring the soil moisture content, the soil conductivity EC, and the level of salt contamination can now be performed as fast and easy as never before! Within two seconds, the moisture content value, the temperature, and the soil conductivity EC are displayed on its clear display.

  • The probes will report soil EC as standard simultaneously with soil moisture content percentage.
  • The probes measures conductivity with the same large soil volume as it will be used for the TDR moisture measurement.
  • It’s durable and waterproof construction ensures safe handling even under difficult environmental conditions.

Soil Moisture readings for top layers

Using a highly accurate TDR probe for:

  • Highly accurate TDR technology
  • Direct measurement of soil moisture content
  • Integrated soil temperature sensor
  • Soil electrical conductivity measurements
  • Large measurement volumes
  • User replaceable rods.

Benefits at a glance

  • Extremely robust and stable
  • Powerful battery for hundreds of measurements
  • Easy use with one hand via four buttons
  • High reliability even under challenging environmental conditions

Applications and advantages

  • Connected to the TDR is the two-rod probe
  • Based on radar technology
  • Handy two-rod probe with solid rods
  • Measurement via radar technology with an electromagnetic TDR impulse with 1 GHz to measure the water content precisely to material saturation
  • Display of measuring value within two seconds
  • Robust and watertight structure
  • Probe can be connected to a PC for data collection, change of operation mode or calibration
  • Delivery with a resistant hard shell case for trouble-free transport

Did its job for moderate weight items.
Size: 40 Inch, Color: Black, Number of Items: 1
Easy install, a little expensive for its construction. Nice appearance however, flexes under moderate weight not for heavy items.

Great addition!
Size: 40 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown, Number of Items: 1
Floating shelf was super easy to install and is a great addition above my window in my office. I used it to put some display pieces my wife wouldn’t allow me to put over our mantle. Very sturdy and looks great!

Looks Good-Not at all sturdy
Size: 40 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown, Number of Items: 1
Looks good. Not sturdy at all if you want to put any weight on it. It’s purely decorative and is not a functional shelf. I had to use toggle bolts for a hollow wall install. The hardware included was not helpful.
