Wuhan Chenyun Technology Co., Ltd

Product Overview>>

The YGC-SM sensor is a comprehensive soil sensor capable of monitoring up to 8 soil parameters, including soil temperature, moisture (soil water content), pH value, electrical conductivity (EC), salinity, and nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) content. It features high accuracy, fast response, and stable output. With minimal influence from soil salinity, it is suitable for various soil types. It can be embedded in soil for long-term use, is resistant to prolonged electrolysis and corrosion, and is vacuum-sealed for complete waterproofing.

This sensor is widely applicable in scientific experiments, water-saving irrigation, greenhouses, flower and vegetable cultivation, grasslands and pastures, soil quick testing, plant cultivation, wastewater treatment, grain storage, and the measurement of moisture and temperature in various granular materials.

Installation instructions>>

Quick Measurement Method

Choose an appropriate measurement location, avoiding rocks to ensure the steel probes do not come into contact with hard objects. Remove the surface soil to the desired measurement depth while maintaining the original density of the underlying soil. Hold the sensor firmly and insert it vertically into the soil. Avoid shaking the sensor back and forth during insertion. Within a small range of the measurement point, it is recommended to take multiple measurements and calculate the average value.

Buried Measurement Method

Dig a pit with a diameter greater than 20 cm and at the desired measurement depth. Insert the sensor probes horizontally into the pit wall. Fill the pit tightly with soil and allow it to stabilize for some time before performing continuous measurements over several days, months, or even longer periods.

Precautions >>

1. Please check whether the packaging is intact and verify that the product model matches the selected specifications.
2. Do not connect wires while the device is powered. Ensure all connections are correct before powering on the device.
3. The length of the sensor cable may affect the output signal. Do not modify the product arbitrarily. If modification is necessary, please contact the manufacturer.
4. The sensor is a precision instrument. During use, do not disassemble it, or use sharp objects or corrosive liquids to contact the surface of the sensor to avoid damaging the product.
5. During measurement, the probe must be fully inserted into the soil.
6. Avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight, which may cause overheating of the sensor. When used outdoors, take precautions against lightning strikes.
7. Do not bend the probe violently or insert it with excessive force. Avoid pulling or repeatedly tugging on the sensor cable, as this may cause the cable to break at the root and become irreparable.
8. Due to the presence of radio frequency electromagnetic radiation in the air, it is not recommended to leave the sensor powered on in the air for extended periods.
9. When measuring frozen soil layers, the moisture readings may be inaccurate and show lower values, requiring user compensation. This product is suitable for measuring ordinary soils such as loam, black soil, and red soil. It is not suitable for absolute moisture measurements of saline-alkali soil, sandy soil, or other powdery materials with high salt content.

     10. The soil moisture calculated by this sensor refers to soil volumetric water content (also known as soil volume moisture content), which is           commonly referred to as "soil moisture" or "soil humidity." The volumetric water content is the ratio of the volume of water in the soil to the           total volume of the soil. A reading of 0% represents completely dry soil with no water, while 60% indicates that 60 volumes of water are                   present  in 100 volumes of soil. Due to the soil's limited water-absorbing capacity, it is impossible to have a volumetric water content of 100%.
