Sensor
Measurement Range
In soil: 0 to 0.550 m³/m³ (volumetric water content)
Extended Range
-0.401 to 2.574 m³/m³
Accuracy
±0.031 m³/m³ (±3.1%) typical 0 to 50°C (32° to 122°F) for mineral soils up to 8 dS/m and ±0.020 m³/m³ (±2%) with soil specific calibration; see Notes 2 and 3
Resolution
0.0007 m³/m³ (0.07%)
Volume of Influence
0.3 liters (10.14 oz)
Sensor Frequency
70 MHz
Sensor Operating Temperature Range
0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F). Although the sensor probe and cable can safely operate at below-freezing temperatures (to -40°C/F), the soil moisture data collected at these extreme temperatures is outside of the sensor's accurate measurement range.

Battery Type/ Power Source
Two AA 1.2 V rechargeable NiMH batteries powered by built-in solar panel or two AA 1.5 V lithium batteries for operating conditions of -40 to 70°C (-40 to 158°F)
Battery Life
With NiMH batteries: Typical 3–5 years when operated in the temperature range -20° to 40°C (-4°F to 104°F) and positioned toward the sun (see Deployment and Mounting), operation outside this range will reduce the battery service life
With lithium batteries: 1 year, typical use
