Description
The TDR-310W is a modification to the MUNRO TDR-315N. Its shorter rods (10cm instead of 15cm) allow it to fit in standard rockwool blocks. The Soil Smart analysis engine is also tuned for non-mineral soils often used in Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), such as rockwool and coco coir, yet still performs well in traditional mineral soils. It also has a much higher amplitude waveform than the H-series sensors, which consumes more power, but makes it very effective in taking measurements in challenging soil environments. It is a complete integrated time domain reflectometer that combines ultra-fast waveform generating and digitizing functions with a precision 5 pico-second resolution time base and highly sophisticated waveform digitizing and analyzing firmware that provides true time domain analysis of soil-propagated waveforms. Its form factor is designed primarily for ease-of-use in non-mineral media commonly used in vertical farming applications. A probe guide is provided to ensure that the waveguide rods are parallel when pushing them into the soil. It provides reading data through a 3-wire SDI-12 interface and is compatible with any data recorder that is compliant with SDI-12 version 1.4 and earlier.
