Portable soil moisture sensor: SM150KIT
SM150KIT
The SM150 Soil Moisture Kit provides an affordable and easy-to-use tool for obtaining reliable moisture measurements with minimal soil or substrate disturbance.
Features
・Complete low-cost kit
・±0.03m3/m3(±3.0％F.S.) accuracy
・Portable and easy to use
Easy to use
Operation is as simple as inserting the SM150T into the soil, pressing the read button and reading. Note that although the SM150T sensor has a built-in temperature sensor, the dedicated reader HH150 does not display the temperature measurement.
The HH150 is a lightweight and extremely easy to use read-only device, but it cannot record data or transfer data to a PC. We recommend combining with HH2 for those who want to transfer data to a PC.

| The HH150 is a display unit for direct reading only and data cannot be saved to a PC, etc. It is easy to operate and can be used by anyone. It is recommended for measurement while carrying. |
For those who want to save data while carrying it around, we recommend combining it with the Handy Logger HH2. |
The SM150 kit is already substrate-calibrated for perlite, coconut fiber, peat, mineral fiber and soil, making it ideal for checking the uniformity of growing conditions in different types of growing media. The SM150T is easy to insert and install, and the thin and sharp rod minimizes soil disturbance.
