Information
It’s easy to know your soil’s water and temperature condition with the ALTA® Soil Moisture Sensor. It provides a highly effective way to improve irrigation scheduling and efficiency. You’ll know when and where to water your crops, plants, or landscape from the data you gather.
See water tension to prevent water stress.
The Soil Moisture Sensor measures soil water tension (matric potential) and temperature. With a resistive granular matrix element, you can optimize your tension parameters to determine the earliest indication of water stress and make sure you irrigate before it reaches that point. The unique element feature delivers consistent calibration without needing to recalibrate for every installation.
The Sensor also has a thermistor-based temperature element. Its readings will help you assess temperature -40°C to 125°C (-40°F to 257°F) and the moisture’s temperature compensation, eliminating the need to measure moisture every time the soil temperature changes.

Specifications
Sensor Specifications |
|
| Moisture Sensing Element | |
| Element Type | Resistive element with granular matrix |
| Range | 0.0 to 240.0 centibar or kPa (Water Tension) |
| Resolution | ~0.3 centibar or kPa 1 |
| Dimensions | Diameter: 0.875 in. (22 mm) Length: 3.25 in. (83 mm) |
| Materials | ABS plastic caps with stainless steel body over a hydrophilic fabric covered granular matrix. (Will not dissolve in soil or be compromised by freezing temperatures) |
| Response Time | ~5 Minutes 2 |
| Temperature Sensing Element | |
| Element Type | Thermistor embedded in sealed metal bullet |
| Accuracy | +/- 1.0 Celsius |
| Measurement Range | -40° C to 125° C (-40° F to 257° F) |
| Resolution | 0.1° C |
| Response Time | Typically less than 15 seconds |
| Cable Physical Specifications | |
| General Composition | Soil moisture and temperature leads coupled together in a single sealed cable wrapped in a braided sleeve. Sleeve ends fixed using adhesive lined heat shrink. |
| Length | 63 in. (160 cm) |
| Connector End | Keyed M8 6-pin female connector, with M8 female coupling collar. |
| Cable Sleeve Material | Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) |
| Overall Cable Operating Temperature | -40° C to 80° C (-40° F to 176° F) 3,4 |
| Weight | 4.07 oz. (115 g) |
| Sensor Base Connector | |
| Base Connector | Keyed M8 6-pin male connector |
| Data | |
| User Interface: xxx.x centibars or kPa, xxx.x° C or F 5 |
Raw Data: Soil Moisture: unsigned int, raw / 10 = centibars Temperature: signed int, raw / 10 = Celsius |

1. The resolution increases as the centibar readings get lower. Resolution at 0 centibar is ~0.05 centibar, at 240 centibar it is ~0.36 centibar. The sensor is limited to 0.1 centibar by the sensor firmware. 2. Response time calculated by measuring time it takes for sensor to go from fully dry to saturated by placing moisture element upright in 1" of water. Actual response times may vary. 3. Heatshrink adhesive melts at ~85° C. Using at temperatures at or above this level may compromise the waterproofing of the cable and allow the heatshrink and sleeve to slip and become loose. 4.The soil moisture element will not work properly while frozen but when thawed the sensor readings will return to normal. 5. UI units are user configurable via software. |
