PICO-BT: Soil moisture measurement system with Android App0 pages

HIGH-TECH FOR HIGH

THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY FOR THE BEST MEASUREMENTS

THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE MEASUREMENT VOLUME

PRECISION MOISTURE

Technical Data

TRIME-PICO64 has a very
large measurement volume of
> 1250ml and thereby guarantees representative readings
even in heterogeneous soils.

Other sensors only have a small
measurement volume of < 250ml
and therefore provide less conclusive results about the moisture
in soil.

The TRIME-PICO series is the most innovative solution for highly-accurate moisture
measurement. We have carried out tests with the instruments usually available on the market and none of them except TRIME was able to achieve a high level of accuracy in very
saline soil. And thanks to Bluetooth, interfering wires are a thing of the past in mobile
applications in the field. Top marks from us for the TRIME measurement system.
