SWM 5000 Soil Moisture Meter

Measuring system

The measuring principle of the SWM 5000 is based on the latest FDR technology (Frequent Domain Reflectometry). It enables fast and precise determination of soil moisture. Temperature is measured by an internal NTC sensor. The central hardware component is a robust stainless steel measuring probe, which is hydraulically or manually pressed into the ground. Measuring sensors are located in the probe tip during manual measurement. The SWM 5000 soil moisture lance has been designed as stand-alone unit (handheld meter and measuring probe).
