The Thetaprobe (ML3) soil moisture sensor (art. no.: 14.26.07.02) measures the soil moisture volume percentage by applying the Frequency Domain technique.The Thetaprobe measures the soil moisture volume percentage by measuring the changes in the dielectric constant. The changes are converted into a millivolt signal proportional to the soil moisture content. The sensor consists of a sturdy, watertight synthetic housing which contains the electronics. The housing is fitted with 4 stainless steel measuring probes at one end that can simply be pushed into the soil (or other material). The Thetaprobe also can measure soil temperature.

The sensor is able to measure within a measuring range of 5 - 55 volumetric moisture content with an accuracy of 5% with standard calibration and only 2% with soil specific calibration. The sensor has an output signal of 0-1 Vdc. The sensor is supplied standard with a 5-metre cable and plug for connection to the soil moisture meter or with wire for connection to a datalogger.
