JW-TRSQ(LC1) Soil Moisture Temperature Water Level Sensor is an integrated 4G wireless monitoring probe designed for farmland irrigation, greenhouse cultivation, soil moisture observation, water conservancy projects, and drought or flood management. It measures multi-layer soil moisture, soil temperature, and water level in real time, helping users understand field water conditions and make scientific irrigation decisions.
With a high-density PVC probe body, IP68 protection, non-contact dielectric sensing technology, and 1 mm water level resolution, this sensor is ideal for long-term outdoor deployment in complex agricultural and hydrological environments.
2. Product Overview
JW-TRSQ(LC1) integrated soil moisture temperature and water level sensor is designed for real-time monitoring of soil water conditions and field ponding status. It can be installed vertically in farmland, greenhouse beds, irrigation areas, water-saving agriculture projects, grassland, experimental plots, and water conservancy monitoring sites.
The probe uses a high-frequency dielectric sensing principle to detect soil moisture conditions through the PVC pipe wall. This structure reduces the influence of direct soil contact, fertilizer, pesticide, salt ions, and irrigation water on the measurement results. The sensor provides stable data for irrigation scheduling, drought prevention, waterlogging warning, and soil moisture profile analysis.
The standard product supports 3-layer, 4-layer, and 5-layer soil monitoring options and can be customized according to project requirements. Each monitoring layer is typically spaced at 10 cm intervals, making it suitable for root-zone water monitoring and multi-depth soil moisture analysis.
