The KDS-031 is a smart sensor for the measurement of soil temperature at a single level or multiple, levels in one convenient probe. Two variants are offered, KDS-031-P and KDS-031-S. The latter is a single-reading capsule that needs to be buried to the required depth in soil. The -P version is a single probe offered for depths upto 10 cm temperature sensors embedded in the same. Levels above the ground can also be integrated in the structure and the actual depths below ground surface or heights above ground are fully customizable. Thermal zoning in part of the structure to make sure each sensor remains in thermal equilibrium only with its immediate neighborhood soil.

Notes. 1.The – D01 is the reference version. 2. Resolution specified is as applicable to DXX versions with digital output. In the Case of -AXX Analog Outputs this represents the minimum (it may be higher) encoding resolution and the resolution available to user may actually depend on the host data acquisition system. 3. All sensors typically undergo a post-production calibration. 4. Settling Time / Response Time specifications are with averaging set to minimum. 5. The current consumption of the –A02 circuit is included in the 4-20mA signaling current; there is no current demand except the signaling current. 6. Cable length recommendations may be site-condition dependent. 7. Many parameters above may be customizable for OEM Customers, please contact factory with requirements. 8. Some specifications may not be applicable to analog output options. 9. Current consumptions specifications do not include current sunk by the host system (data logger) except in 4-20mA analog output option. 4-20mA option includes power supply current in signaling current. |
