The HS2 is the handheld display for the new Hydrosense II soil-water sensor. When paired with either the CS658 or CS659 portable soil-water probes, it replaces the previous Hydrosense soil-water system. It features a new handheld display and a new probe design. The HS2 handheld has been designed to be compact and portable, with the layout of the buttons allowing for operation with one hand.
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.
Soil Moisture ProbeThe new soil moisture probe uses the same accurate measurement technique as the old probe, but the probe housing has been redesigned to aid insertion into and removal from hard soils. The probe rods are secured to the probe housing with ferrule nuts to provide extra stability during insertion. A molded plastic grip connects the sensor cable to housing to provide better grip.
SoftwareNew PC software has been developed to make the most of the data storage capability of the HS2. The software connects to the HS2 via Bluetooth to avoid the need for extra cables.

The only AMS soil probe that features the Hex QP connection. Hex Quick Pin (Hex QP) is a hardened steel male/female hex connection that accepts standard 3/8 snapper pins or heat-treated 3/8 U-clips. It is stronger and faster than standard threaded connections. VIEW ALL Hex QP Replaceable Tip Soil Probe VIEW ALL Hex QP Replaceable
Also included in our product range is the WET sensor, to measure pore water conductivity and temperature in the top layer of a soil. The measurement values are shown on the display of the hand held meter and can be stored in the memory (including time and sensor location). These data can be read on a PC. Product Details

With the Rhizon soil moisture sampler we supply a range of miniature soil moisture samplers. The Rhizon samplers are used for repeated and reliable sampling of all dissolved components in the soil solution. The porous plastic material (PES) wets spontaneously and has standard 0.15 micron pores. The samplers are supplied with coextruded tubing (PE inside / PVC outside) 1 mm internal diameter, luer connector and protective cap. The sampler is reenforced by a wire.
