Campbell HS2P HydroSense II Handheld Soil Moisture Sensor with Insertion Pole Description：

Datasheet User's Manual

The HS2P is a combination of the Hydrosense II soil-water sensor with a strong handle and pole that make it easier to insert the probes into the soil. The lightweight pole allows soil testing without bending over. The HS2P is compact and portable, with the layout of the buttons on the display allowing for operation with one hand. Two different probe lengths are available, for different types of soil or turf.

The display consists of a three-inch LCD and four navigation buttons that make changing settings and taking measurements as easy as possible. An integrated GPS tags each measurement with a latitude and longitude.

Zones can be created on the unit which group measurements together so that average soil moisture can be calculated for an area. The current position and zone are shown on the display so that measurements can be taken in the same zone.

Data storage has been added to allow more than 1000 measurements to be stored on the device. The data can then be downloaded to a PC via Bluetooth for viewing and archiving.

Two sensor options are offered. The CS658P has 20 cm rods and the CS659P has 12 cm rods. These sensors use an accurate measurement technique and have a rugged design allowing insertion into and removal from hard soils. Their rods are secured to their housing with ferrule nuts that provide extra stability during insertion.

The PC software makes the most of the data storage capability of the display. The software connects to the display via Bluetooth to avoid the need for extra cables.

View data in table and chart views
