EM 38 MK2 Soil Conductivity Sensor [Farmer]
Introduction
The EM38-MK2 sensor provides measurement of the ability of the soil to conduct electricity within two distinct depth ranges, without any requirement for soil-to-instrument contact. With a maximum effective depth of exploration of 1.5 m, applications in agriculture are perfect.
An optional, collapsible calibration stand supports automation of the instrument calibration procedure. Once positioned within the stand, the instrument can be calibrated within seconds, without any requirement for iterative adjustments.
Supporting both walking and trailer-mounted survey methods, external power sources can be connected to the instrument for extended field operations. An optional, lightweight, rechargeable battery pack provides for 25 hours of continuous operation. Also for trailer- mounted operations, a protective capsule, constructed of durable plastic materials, is available as an option.[1]
