RXW T11 HOBOnet Soil Moisture/Temp Sensor
Trådløs sensor for jordfukt/volumetrisk vanninnhold og temperatur i jord.
The HOBOnet T11 is a wireless sensor that works with the HOBOnet system to not only measure soil moisture (volumetric water content) with better accuracy and precision, but also provide soil temperature measurements. Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, these durable sensors last up to 10 years, so you can leave them in the field for extended periods of time. Sharpened stainless-steel probes make installation easy, even in hard soil, and a large volume of influence provides better results and a more accurate view of soil moisture. Featuring the METER TEROS 11 soil moisture and temperature sensor, the HOBOnet T11 is backed by over 20 years of soil-moisture research and leverages METER’s trademark 70MHz frequency capacitance technology, minimizing salinity and textural effects.
The HOBOnet system is a cost-effective and scalable wireless sensor network for web-enabled monitoring of field conditions for applications such as crop management, research, and greenhouse operations. And because it’s wireless, you can deploy a network of sensors to easily monitor multiple points with a single system, while avoiding the risk of long cables that can interfere with field operations and are potentially vulnerable to nearby lightning strikes.
Sensors are easily linked to the network, and data can be accessed through HOBOlink®, Onset's innovative cloud-based software platform.
We suggest using the TEROS Verification Clip, available from the Compatible Items tab, below. The TEROS Verification Clip provides a convenient way to confirm the operation and soil moisture accuracy of HOBOnet T11 and T12 sensors. Attaching this clip to a TEROS sensor provides a known soil moisture level for verifying measurement accuracy, without having to test the sensor in actual soils, which normally requires weighing soil samples and drying them in an oven.

* The sensor data can be post-calibrated if necessary (e.g. the sensor is used in non-mineral soil types or higher than standard accuracy is required). Users can apply a calibration equation to the data exported from HOBOlink. The VWC range will depend on the calibration equation.
** Temperature measurement, for applicable sensors, may not be accurate if sensor is not fully immersed in medium of interest, due to longer equilibration time.
