Thank you for purchasing the Field Scout
TM
SC 900 Soil
Compaction Meter. This manual describes the features
and operation of the meter.
Soil compaction prevents moisture penetration, reduces
fertilizer and chemical uptake and hinders plant root
growth. In some cases, yield losses can run as high as
30% due to compaction. This new electronic soil compac-
tion meter is the most versatile compaction meter on the
market. Soil depth readings are determined by a sonic
depth sensor. Cone index values are measured by a load
cell sensor and can be displayed in PSI or kPa.
The Field Scout’s shaft-mounted probe allows the user to
easily and rapidly take many measurements. The shaft
can be dissembled into 2 pieces for easy storage and trans-
port. The meter’s built-in datalogger can record data from
several sites and eliminates the need to record data manu-
ally. Through the software, the user can download the
data, change the logger settings and configure the meter.
