Product Description

The MS20 is a high precision and high sensitivity of soil moisture & temperature sensors. By measuring the dielectric constant of the soil, it shows stable real moisture content directly. The MS20 can measure the volume of soil moisture. The FDR soil moisture measurement method is in line with present international standards. Apply to the soil moisture monitoring, scientific experiment, water-saving irrigation, greenhouse vegetables, flowers, grass, fast measure, plant cultivation, greenhouse control, precision agriculture and the other measurement of water, weather or particulate matter content.
 Support customer soil type, the user can calibrationContain moisture & temperature measure. High precision, quick response and good compatibility.Seal with Fire-retardant Epoxy Resin, IP68 water proofing. Long term usage.Special treatment of probe material can be against acid and alkali corrosion.Widely used in many kinds of soil because of the imported advance tech which correct the effect of different salt content.Multiple protection functions including Power supply, communication, analog output. High reliability.2 Technical parameter

Green (SET): connect with V+ (power) to boot into the " Reply to factory Settings "; disconnect or connect with the G (power ground) to boot into " operation mode ".
Module configuration parameters such as Modbus address, baud rate, parity and communication protocol are storage by the EEPROM (power down storage device stores) inside the module. communication will fail when the EEPROM misses these parameters. To solve this error, the module has a special mode called "setting mode". When the module boot as "setting mode", the module communicates with the following parameters:
    Fixed Modbus address : 0Communication configuration : 9600,N,8,1 (9600bps,no parity bit,8 data bits, 1 stop bit)Communication protocol : Modbus-RTU
ONLY boot the module as "setting mode" will not change the EEPROM configuration parameters. The EEPROM configuration parameters for "operation mode" will be kept.

 4.3 Installation GuideQuick measurement: Select measurement location. Avoid the rocks and ensure that the probe will not impact the hard objects like rocks. Cut open the surface soil according to the required depth. Keep tightness degree of the original soil below the sensor.Clench the senser and insert it into soil vertically. Ensure it's closed to the soil. Do not shake.Average of repeated measurement near the point is suggested.
Long-term measurement: Dig a hole (diameter>20cm, depth as needed) vertically. Insert the sensor probe into the hole wall at a suitable depth horizontally. Fill the hole and compact the soil. Ensure the senser is closed to the soil.
After a while, long-term measurement and record will be available which can be last for days, months or even longer.
If when the hard surface measurements, should first drilling the hole(pore size should be less than the probe diameter), then inserted into the soil , compact the soil and then measure; Sensor should prevent violent vibration and impact, cannot receive more blows.5 The output conversion for soil moisture & temperature

Output voltage 0-2Vcorresponding temperature of -40-80 ºCTemperature =60.0* voltage -40. If the measured voltage is 1.5V, the temperature of =60.0*1.5-40=50.00 ºC.
volumetric water content corresponding 0-50%volumetric moisture content=0.25*voltage  . If the measured voltage is 1.5V, the volumetric water content was =0.25*1.5=0.375=37.5%.
volumetric water content corresponding 0-100%volumetric moisture content=0.5* voltage . If the measured voltage is 1.5V, the volumetric water content was =0.5*1.5=0.75=75.0%.
Current output of 4-20mAcorresponding temperature of -40-80ºC
 
temperature =7.5 * Current -70 . If the measured current is 10mA, the temperature of =7.5*10-70=5.00 ºC.
volumetric water content corresponding 0-50%Volumetric water content = 0.03125 * (current -4). If the measured current is 10mA, the volumetric water content was =0.03125 * (10-4) = 0.1875 =18.75%.
volumetric water content corresponding 0-100%Volumetric water content = 0.0625 * (current -4). If the measured current is 10mA, the volumetric water content was =0.0625 * (10-4) = 0.375=37.5%.
RS485 interface, Modbus protocolcorresponding temperature of -40-80ºC
 
Temperature = temperature register value /100. If the read data is 2013, then the temperature = 2013/100=20.13 C.
volumetric water content corresponding 0-50%
volumetric water content corresponding 0-100%
Volumetric water content = volumetric moisture content register value /10000. If the read data is 1568, then the temperature = 1568/10000=15.68%.
