1 Functional Description
The intelligent and compact TRIME-PICO64/32 sensors are measurement devices for continuous and non-
destructive determination of volumetric or gravimetric material moisture, material temperature and material
conductivity. They are designed for stationary subterranean field use. A variety of installation options (greater
depth, vertical or horizontal orientation) offer a wide range of applications.
TRIME-PICO64/32 systems require an external 7-24V/DC power supply. They are designed for connection to a
data logger or a PC for monitoring and data logging purposes.
Your sensor is supplied ready for use and works in a wide range of standard soils. For further information
please check the details under Section 6!
1.1 Operation modes
TRIME-PICO64/32 systems are supplied with an IMP-Bus interface and analogue output of 0..1V for soil mois-
ture and temperature.
TRIME-PICO64/32 sensors can be easily connected (in operation modes A) to SDI12 datalogger and conven-
tional analogue data loggers (in operation modes B and C).
A detailed description of how to select a specific operation mode for your application can be found below.
PLEASE NOTE: Analogue dataloggers require differential inputs!
1.1.1 Operation mode A (Bus communication)
TRIME-PICO64/32 systems can be connected directly to the IMP-Bus (4-wire bus system), either via SDI12 data-
logger or via the SM-23U level converter module for use in conjunction with the EnvisLog data-logging soft-
ware.
If multiple sensors are to be wired as a network, IMKO offers 3-port, 6-port and 12-port distribution modules.
Please note that the IMP-Bus cable length and cable diameter must be properly matched as otherwise the
energy consumption of the TRIME sensors (100mA @ 12V/DC for 2..3s) may cause a drop in voltage.
More
information is available in Section 5.
Benefits:

Low power consumption in field installations (with SDI12 datalogger)


nents (e.g. lightning protection, distribution modules…)

Attachment of any other analogue sensors to IMP-Bus (via SM-Modules)

Systems are supplied ready for use

Cable length >1000m (with only 4 wires for all sensors)
For use with:

SDI12 Datalogger

EnvisLog (PC-Software for Microsoft Windows) only with converter module SM-USB

IMKO calibration and test software PICO-CONFIG (see page 27, Software download:
