Product Overview
Features
- Multi-Depth measurements: Soil Moisture, temperature and electrical conductivity measurements at 10cm (4 in), 20cm (8 in), 30cm (12 in) and 40cm(16 in).
- High Precision and Sensitivity: High measurement accuracy, less affected by soil salinity, suitable for all kinds of soils.
- Universal Protocol: MODBUS-RTU RS485
- Durable Design: High-quality plastic housing with IP68-rated and protection against corrosion.
- Easy Integration and Versatile Application: This sensor can be seamlessly integrated with the SenseCAP Sensor Hub 4G Data Logger for efficient data collection and management.
Soil electrical conductivity (EC) is the level of salts in soil (salinity). These parameters are vital indicators of soil fertility and health and ultimately affect the plants. When there is a high soil salinity, the salt will make it difficult for the plants to consume water even though there is a high moisture level in the soil. This situation will ultimately “burn” the plants. Plants grow best in their preferred environment, within the optimal ranges of soil moisture, temperature, and EC level. Growers need to have data on these parameters and understand what actions need to be taken to ensure plant health and higher yield.
The RS485 Multi-Depth Soil Moisture, Temperature, and EC Sensor has been designed in accordance with industry standards, offering high precision, high sensitivity, and durability. It provides highly accurate and reliable three-dimensional monitoring of soil conductivity, humidity, and temperature by means of sensor nodes installed at different depths.
The sensor can be permanently inserted into the measured soil, and calibrated once for long-term stable real-time detection. The high-quality plastic housing provides the sensor with IP68 protection and excellent corrosion resistance. It is suitable for water-saving agricultural irrigation, meteorological monitoring, environmental monitoring, greenhouse, flowers and vegetables, grass pasture, soil quick test, plant culture, scientific experiments, and other fields.
We offer the SenseCAP Sensor Hub 4G Data Logger suitable for RS485 sensors. You can transmit the sensor data to to the SenseCAP server or the client’s private server.

Policies & Guidelines
Warranty, shipping, and purchasing information
- All prices are stated in US dollars (USD), unless otherwise indicated.
- Full payment must be received and confirmed before an order is prepared or dispatched.
- Payment may be made by bank transfer, Bitcoin, or USDT. The payment methods available for each order are displayed at checkout.
- Shipping charges are shown separately at checkout. The quoted shipping charge includes applicable import duties, taxes, and customs-clearance charges for the delivery destination.
- An electronic invoice is made available in the Customer’s account after payment confirmation. An official sales invoice also accompanies the shipment.
- Orders may be cancelled for a full refund before order preparation begins. Once preparation has begun, cancellation is subject to the order’s processing status.
- A Customer wishing to return a non-defective product must request the return within 30 days of delivery. The product must be returned in good condition with its official sales invoice.
- For a non-defective return, the Customer is responsible for return shipping. The refund covers the product price only; the original shipping charge is not refundable.
- Refunds for returned products are initiated after the returned goods have been received and their condition verified. Approved refunds are initiated within seven business days and returned through the original payment method.
- The refundable amount is based on the USD value paid for the product. Refunds for Bitcoin or USDT payments are calculated against that USD amount, rather than a fixed quantity of cryptocurrency. The time required for funds to reach the Customer depends on the payment method and processing provider.
- All devices, sensors, and accessories purchased directly from SenseCAP are covered by a one-year warranty from the date of delivery.
- Warranty eligibility is verified against the original sales record and, where available, the product serial number. For products without a serial number, the order details and official sales invoice are used to identify the purchase.
