• Measures volumetric water content of the soil
• Fast response time (2 s)
• Offers readings directly in volumetric water content
• Easy installation (small footprint)
• Water-proof design
• Should be connected to the CS-DL824 data loggers

• Operating Temperature: –40 to +50 °C
• Measurement range: VWC 0% to saturation
• Accuracy: ±2.5% typical with most soils (soil solution EC < 10 dS/m). Soil-specific calibration can enhance the accuracy
• Resolution: 12-bit (0.03%)
• Power Requirement: 3 – 5 VDC

The CS-SM2 allows user to determine the amount (volume) of water stored in a soil profile or how much irrigation is required to reach a desired amount of water in the soil at a very affordable cost. The sensors are made of industry-grade materials which ensures that they can be used both in industrial applications (for e.g., agriculture) or in research. The sensors are also calibrated with extreme care and tested for a wide range of soils across the globe.

The CS-SM2 can be connected to a cable of maximum 10 m length. The other end of the sensor is connected to a CS-DL824 data logger. Eight CS-SM2 sensors can be connected to a CS-DL824 data logger at the same time which can record volumetric water content data at a maximum of 2s interval. The output of this sensor can also be used in other irrigation controller (relay) systems to determine when and how much to irrigate.

The CS-SM2 is ideal for applications that require accurate soil moisture monitoring at an affordable price. For your application needs, please consult the product manual and application notes.
