Additional specifications and description
1) Which parameters are measured and why is it important?
Adaptor box for SWCSM-075, a soil moisture sensor with an integrated digital temperature sensor.
For optimal plant growth, maintaining balanced soil moisture is essential. Too little water leads to stunted growth and wilting due to nutrient deficiencies, while prolonged drought reduces plant resilience over time. Excess water can suffocate roots and increase disease risk. Effective irrigation also helps minimise nutrient leaching and reduces the loss of agrichemicals, improving overall soil and crop health.
2) What are the configuration and customisation options?
The adaptor box is designed to connect the SWCSM-075 soil moisture sensor to a Sentera Modbus network via an integrated cable with M12 connector. A green LED indicates the power status.
3) How is the sensor installed, and what are the power and connectivity requirements?
The adaptor box is intended for mounting on a smooth surface.
Two RJ45 sockets make it possible to connect multiple sensors while maintaining the line topology of the Modbus RTU network. Using multiple sensors provides better insight into rainfall infiltration patterns and supports evaluation of irrigation efficiency. The sensors can be daisy-chained. Power over Modbus (PoM) connects Modbus RTU communication and a 24 VDC power supply via one single UTP-cable. All measured values are accessible via Modbus RTU communication.
4) What are the manufacturing quality and protection ratings?
All sensors are designed and manufactured in Europe. Each device is calibrated and tested in our factory. Only high-quality components are used, ensuring long-term stability and accuracy. The enclosure is produced in-house by Sentera Plastics from premium R-ABS providing exceptional strength and durability. It offers an IP65 protection against ingress of dust and water.
