Permanent Soil Moisture Monitoring
Real-time Data from Profiling Soil Moisture Probes for Irrigated & Permanent Plantings
Wildeye multi-level soil moisture monitoring products combine the renowned Wildeye telemetry and software platform with rugged, accurate and reliable capacitance soil moisture probes for collection of detailed soil information (water content, temperature and EC/salinity) throughout soil profiles.
These sensors are ideally suited to any application requiring long-term soil profile measurements, such as tree crops, vineyards, turf & sports grounds and many other applications where detailed measurements throughout a soil profile are required.
Connectivity is managed by the award-winning Wildeye 4G IoT telemetry device. Data is accessible through the Wildeye portal from where it can be viewed and exported. Scroll down to view complete specifications.
Components
High quality profiling soil moisture probe of length 40cm, 80cm, 120cm or 160cm
Pressure Transducer for monitoring irrigation time-of-use and identifying faults in the irrigation system (2m lead, extendable)
Solar panel with Wildeye mounting bracket
Outdoor 3dB Antenna, 5m extension for optional elevation
Installation
Installation requires 4G IoT signal is available at site, and the Wildeye phone app must be downloaded and used to capture data during the installation.
Wildeye’s network of staff and distribution partners are experienced soil scientists and agronomists, with a fixation on technology to help farmers, and unmatched collective soil moisture probe installation experience. Nobody is better placed than Wildeye to ensure your valuable sensors are installed right.
Applications:
Tree-crops
Vineyards
Turf & Sports Grounds
Golf Courses
Connectivity
Web-connectivity uses open-standard Cat-M1 or NB-IoT on 4G cellular networks.
Wildeye packages utilize telco-delivered cellular networks to avoid reliance on first-generation radio networks and technologies that are delivered and maintained by small businesses.
