The METER Group TEROS 12 delivers precise, reliable measurements of soil moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity (EC) in one rugged sensor. Its 70 MHz frequency minimizes salinity and textural interference, ensuring consistent accuracy across a wide range of soils and substrates. Stainless steel needles provide excellent EC contact while minimizing soil disturbance during installation.
Built for long-term field performance, the TEROS 12 is maintenance-free, direct-burial rated, and fully compatible with the RS10 datalogger.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Measures soil moisture, temperature, and EC independently
- High-frequency (70 MHz) design for improved accuracy in saline or varied soils
- Stainless-steel needles minimize soil disruption during installation
- Direct-burial and UV-stable for permanent outdoor installation
- Low-maintenance, long-term reliability in the field
Typical Uses:
- Irrigation scheduling and soil profiling
- Greenhouse and field research applications
- Environmental and climate monitoring
- Precision agriculture and soil mapping
