3.2 COMPONENTS
The TEROS 11/12 sensor measures soil moisture, temperature, and EC (TEROS 12 only) of
soil using stainless steel needles (
). TEROS 11/12 sensors measure soil moisture
between Needle 1 and Needle 2. TEROS 12 measures EC between Needle 2 and Needle 3.
Temperature is measured with an embedded thermistor. These sensors have a low power
requirement, which makes them ideal for permanent burial in the soil and continuous
reading with a data logger or periodic reading with a handheld reader.
