The James Instruments Aquaprobe Soil Moisture Meter is used to determine the soil moisture content of different types of soils and other fine aggregate. It allows the user to measure the complex dielectric constant of the mixture of water and material under investigation.

As it has been shown in many studies that the complex dielectric constant is directly related to the amount of water present, the built in microprocessor can convert this value directly into the percentage of moisture.

Description

The T-S-30 is a revolutionary digital moisture meter for soils. It allows the user to measure the complex dielectric constant of the mixture of water and material under investigation. As it has been shown in many studies that the complex dielectric constant is directly related to the amount of water present, the built in microprocessor can convert this value directly into the percentage of moisture.
The AquaProbe consist of a 50 MHz probe and logging unit that can processes data from the
unit and can store it for later retrieval. It has 5 stainless steel prongs that penetrate into the soil to obtain a moisture content reading. Each prong is 8.9 cm (3.5 inches) in length with a diameter of
0.3 cm (0.125 inches). First, use the penetrator template and the rubber mullet to introduce it on the soil, then remove the penetrator and insert the Aquaprobe sensor on the holes previously preformed on the soil. For more accuracy, calibration is recommended.
The unit comes from the factory with a variety of modes to assist the user in determining moisture content. The unit comes pre-programmed to analyze sand (SP, Ottawa), lean clay, silt and general type of soil 1 and 2. There is also a mode to read the output of the sensor directly. The AquaProbe can also be programmed with up to ten different user programs. These are correlation factors that pertain to the direct material the user is dealing with and should be used for the most accurate moisture results. There are also the capabilities to upload data stored in the unit to a P.C. for later analysis, as well as a clock to help synchronize and differentiate the results.
The unit comes with a P.C. software which simplifies uploading of data to a Windows compatible P.C. and analyzing the data for later programming of the unit. When required, the software will automatically monitor the serial communication port specified by the user. Once transmission of data from the AquaProbe unit has occurred, this information will appear in the edit window in the software. The data can then be analyzed by the built-in software of the program or with a regular spread sheet.
