Onset Computer Corporation Announces New Soil Moisture Smart Sensors.BOURNE Bourne, town (1990 pop. 16,064), Barnstable co., SE Mass., crossed by Cape Cod Canal; settled 1627, inc. 1884. Bourne Bridge (1935), across the canal, made the town an entry point to Cape Cod and a resort and commercial center. , Mass. -- Onset Computer Corporation New plug-and-play sensors offer improved accuracy in wide range of soil types; compatible with award-winning HOBO Weather Stations Onset Computer Corporation, a leading supplier of battery-powered data loggers data logger - data logging and weather stations, today announced that it has added two new plug-and-play Soil Moisture Smart Sensors for use with HOBO[R] Weather Stations. The new Soil Moisture Smart Sensors provide high accuracy measurements of volumetric volumetric /vol·u·met·ric/ (vol?u-met´rik) pertaining to or accompanied by measurement in volumes. vol·u·met·ric adj. Of or relating to measurement by volume. water content in soil, and integrate industry-proven Decagon ECH ECH Echelon ECH Echangeur (French: Exchange; Canada Post street designation) ECH Electron Cyclotron Heating ECH Epichlorohydrin ECH Echinacea ECH Emergency Command Hologram (Star Trek) 2O[TM] dielectric dielectric (dī'ĭlĕk`trĭk), material that does not conduct electricity readily, i.e., an insulator (see insulation). A good dielectric should also have other properties: It must resist breakdown under high voltages; it should not probes for precise, long-term soil moisture monitoring. Suitable for use in wide range of applications including agricultural research and irrigation irrigation, in agriculture, artificial watering of the land. Although used chiefly in regions with annual rainfall of less than 20 in. (51 cm), it is also used in wetter areas to grow certain crops, e.g., rice. management, the new sensors provide a number of key features, including: * Low sensitivity to temperature and saline effects - broadens the range of soil types, including sandy and high-salinity soils, which can be monitored with HOBO Weather Stations. * Compact form factor - enables easy installation in pots, greenhouses, and other environments * Smart Sensor design - enables the sensors to be plugged into HOBO Weather Stations and Micro Stations and automatically recognized without complicated wiring, programming or calibration requirements. The new Soil Moisture Smart Sensors work with Onset's 15-channel HOBO Weather Station and 4-channel HOBO Micro Station. These systems can be configured to measure the user's choice of a wide range of parameters, and are powered for one year using only four AA batteries. Onset offers a number of data logging (data) data logging - (data acquisition) Storing a series of measurements over time, usually from a sensor that converts a physical quantity such as temperature, pressure, relative humidity, light, resistance, current, power, speed, vibration into a voltage that is then converted software and communications options for HOBO Weather Station products. The new Soil Moisture Smart Sensors are available immediately from Onset, and are priced at $139 each. ABOUT ONSET Onset Computer Corporation has been producing small, inexpensive, battery powered data loggers and embedded controllers since 1981, and has sold over 1,000,000 loggers that are used throughout the world by over 50,000 customers. The company manufactures a broad range of data logger and weather station products that are used to measure temperature, humidity, light intensity, voltage, and broad range of other parameters. Onset products are used in a wide range of research, commercial, industrial, and educational applications. |
