| The James Aquaprobe T-S-30 Soil Moisture Meter |
A microwave meter for rapid
determination of moisture
content in different types of
soils. |
| Features and Benefits |
• Fast and easy to use: Simply fill the
container with your soil sample, shake it
and it is ready. |
| Technical Specifications |

The James Aquaprobe represents a break-through in
modern moisture measurement technology. By utilizing
the latest microwave and
microprocessor technology, the
Aquaprobe can determine the
moisture content of different types of
soils and other fine aggregate.
Simply insert the instrument in the
container and fill the container with
a sample of soil to be measured.
After shake the container a few
times, the instrument will
instantaneously display the percentage
of moisture content on the easy
to read display.
The Aquaprobe Microwave Soil
moisture meter uses a five prong
sensor to measure the complex
dielectric constant of the material
encompassed by the outer four
prongs. As the dielectric constant of
water is four to eight times greater
than most natural soil types, changes
in water content directly effect the
sensor output. An average of five to
ten readings is normally taken in
order to ensure a valid reading. This output is then
converted by the integrated microprocessor and
moisture content is displayed directly as a percentage
of dry weight.

The unit comes calibrated for Lean Clay, Silt, Sand
(Ottawa Sand and SP sand) and general type of
Siltysand soil. It can also be programmed with up to ten
different materials by the user. For highest accuracy,
the unit should be programmed for the material being
tested. Simple to use WIN95/WIN XP software is
provided for calibrating the unit to the various
materials.
Finally, the Aquaprobe can store over 150 readings.
Storage is complete with the time and date for future
reference. Data can be recalled via RS-232 interface to a
personal computer running WIN95/WINXP. |

actual readings of moisture content
within a soil test sample.
Accuracies can achieve +/- 0.2% with user
calibrated mode for soils. Accuracies will
vary with particle size and material type,
organic material will also affect the
accuracy.
Note: Maximum aggregate particle size is
approximately 12.5 mm in diameter. |
