Leaf Wetness Smart Sensor – S-LWA-M003

The Leaf Wetness Smart Sensor provides accurate leaf wetness data in a number of growing and research applications. The sensor is ready to use and does not require any painting or coating. It uses a capacitive grid that is less sensitive to surface residues than resistive grid-based sensors, and comes preconditioned for consistent measurements between sensors and for long-term stability. The Sensor can be positioned to mimic the wet-dry characteristics of the plants being studied.

Measurement range: 0 (dry) to 100% (wet) Operating Range: -40C to 70C, (-40F to 158F) Repeatablility: 5% Resolution: 0.59% Stability: < 5% per year Interchangeability between sensors (over the range 10-90%): 10% Measurement Averaging Option: No Housing: No coating required Sensor Type: Capacitive Grid Dimensions: Sensor plate: 4.7 cm x 5.1 cm (1.8 x 2.0) Tube: 12.2 cm length x 1.8 cm diameter (4.8 x 0.7) Cable length: 3m (9.8) Approximate Weight: 127 g (4.5 oz) for sensor, and 290 g (10.2 oz) with mounting bracket Mounting Bracket: 20 cm long (8);Sensor can be positioned at any angle between 0 and 90 degrees (vertical) Number of Data Channels: 1
