The MPS-1 Water Potential Sensor is the perfect fit for all your in situ monitoring needs. Integrating a high performance ceramic with the new dielectric circuitry of the EC-5, the MPS-1 can measure a wide range of soil water potentials while never needing any user maintenance. Each sensor is carefully matched after the ceramics have been vacuum saturated so there is no need to waste precious time doing individual calibration. In the field, the MPS-1 can be quickly installed down-hole by inserting the sensor and packing wet soil around it. Measuring and recording data is also simple as it can be easily plugged into an Em50 port or any other capable datalogger. A factory calibration allows the sensor to read out in soil water potential, regardless of the soil type it is in, while the high frequency dielectric circuit minimizes soil electrical conductivity sensitivity.
