Pico Profile
The Pico-Profile from IMKO, Germany is an easy and modular instrument for the precise measurement of moisture and salinity in selected soil profiles. Using TRIME radar technology the Pico-Profile is ideal for research to control irrigation, to create soil and water balance models and to check the saline load in different soil depths.
Contact Van WaltAdvantages
- Robust and watertight structure under extreme conditions
- Every PICO-T3P PROFILE segment is in its celebration scalable on each soil horizon
- Easy to configure modularly to measure selected soil horizons precisely
- Up to ten measuring devices can be arranged in different soil depths
- Additional measurement of the electrical conductivity for exact evaluations of saline load
- Measuring result may be calculated for the pore water conductivity ECw or as TDS (in mg salt per liter water)
- PICO-PROFILE measures per measuring segment 1dm³ soil and penetrates deeply into the soil around the installation tube with its representative measuring field
- Attractive price-performance ratio
- A RS485 or SDI12 interface allows data collection with the Van Walt Data Collection systems.
- Long-life and durable.
