JW-TRSQ(LC2) Wireless Soil Moisture Monitoring Sensor is an integrated 4G soil monitoring instrument designed for smart irrigation, greenhouse cultivation, farmland water management, soil drought monitoring, pasture monitoring, and precision agriculture. It uses a high-frequency dielectric sensing principle to detect soil moisture conditions through the PVC probe body, reducing measurement interference from fertilizer, pesticides, salt ions, and irrigation water.
With built-in lithium battery, solar charging, 4G wireless communication, IP68 waterproof protection, and multi-layer soil detection capability, this sensor is suitable for long-term outdoor deployment in agricultural and water conservancy monitoring projects.
2. Product Overview
JW-TRSQ(LC2) Wireless Soil Moisture Monitoring Sensor is designed to provide real-time soil moisture data for agricultural irrigation and field water management. It integrates sensing, data transmission, power supply, and outdoor protection into one compact instrument, reducing installation complexity and improving field deployment efficiency.
The sensor uses a dielectric constant measurement principle and emits a high-frequency detection wave of approximately 1 GHz. The signal can penetrate the PVC probe body and sense the surrounding soil environment without direct exposure of the sensing components. This design helps reduce the influence of pesticides, fertilizers, salt ions, and irrigation conditions, resulting in more stable and reliable soil moisture data.
The device is powered by an internal lithium battery and equipped with a solar charging system, making it suitable for unattended outdoor monitoring in farms, greenhouses, orchards, irrigation districts, research plots, and water conservancy projects.
