Multi layer soil moisture monitoring system; From surface to deep layers: synchronous monitoring of soil moisture in layers 3-10
Date: 2025-12-24Read: 16

【 Model FT-GTS3 】 Fengtu Technology: A professional manufacturer, dedicated team, and fast response, creating a reliable backing in one. Accurately understanding the soil moisture conditions at different depths is crucial in fields such as agricultural irrigation, ecological research, and geological monitoring. The multi-layer soil moisture monitoring system can achieve synchronous monitoring of soil moisture from the surface to the deep layers of 3-10 layers, providing reliable data support for various industries.

The system can simultaneously collect moisture information of corresponding soil layers by vertically deploying multiple sensors in the soil, each corresponding to different depths. After data collection, the data is transmitted to the control terminal through the transmission module, and users can view the real-time soil moisture values of each layer.

In agriculture, precise irrigation strategies can be developed based on soil moisture data at different depths to avoid over irrigation or under irrigation, improve water resource utilization and crop yield. In ecological research, understanding the vertical variation of soil moisture can provide a basis for vegetation growth research. In terms of geological monitoring, it can assist in analyzing the impact of soil moisture on geological structure. Multi layer soil moisture monitoring system provides precise and synchronized monitoring to assist in scientific decision-making across multiple fields.

3、 Advantages and Characteristics

A single soil tube sensor can simultaneously measure soil parameters at multiple depths, and the monitoring depth can be customized (less than 1M).

The sensor adopts a low-power design, with a power consumption as low as 0.26W, suitable for long-term unmanned monitoring in the field.

Each layer of the sensor can independently measure temperature, humidity, and conductivity parameters.

The sensor housing is made of imported PC material, which has high strength, corrosion resistance, and no pollution to the environment.

The waterproof level of the sensor reaches IP67, which is suitable for long-term outdoor monitoring.

The sensor measures the average humidity within a certain area, which compensates for the limitations of single point measurement.

The sensor adopts a self-designed spiral measuring electrode to improve the contact between the sensor and the soil, and to avoid measurement errors caused by air gaps as much as possible.

4、 Precautions for use

a. The use of sensors should strictly follow the installation and use instructions.

b. When multiple sensors are working simultaneously, they must be spaced at least 3 meters apart.

c. The measurement principle of sensors is limited, and there should be no electromagnetic cables or strong magnetic radiation interference within a radius of 3 meters from the center of the sensor measurement site to avoid causing huge errors and damage to the sensor measurement.

d. The installation environment of the sensor should comply with the measurement range of the sensor and avoid non-standard behaviors such as exceeding the range.

e. The installation of sensors should avoid environments with strong acids, strong alkalis, heavy oil pollution, and heavy metals.

f. The sensor is a soil measurement sensor, and it is prohibited to use this sensor to measure other substances.

g. The sensor installation environment should not have strong vibrations.

h. Sensors should not be subjected to excessive external forces.

i. Disassembly is prohibited. Unauthorized disassembly is considered non compliant and no further service will be provided.
