Truebner Aquaflex soil moisture sensor (RS485 interface for TBUS / ASCII)

Truebner Aquaflex - capacitive soil moisture sensor with signal integration along 3m measuring cable (RS485 interface for TBUS / ASCII) - professional soil moisture measurement for turf and sod.

The capacitive soil moisture sensor AquaFlex Sensor is used to measure the average soil moisture along a 3m long special measuring cable.

In contrast to point measuring capacitive soil moisture sensors such as the SMT50 or SMT100, the moisture is thus measured in a much larger measuring volume.

The AquaFlex sensor is therefore ideal for reliable soil moisture measurement and for easy installation in an existing lawn.

The special measuring cable has a robust polyethylene sheath and is very durable.
