Monitor water levels in Class A evaporation pans with this 0.5m SDI-12 submersible sensor. Durable, accurate, and easy to integrate.
This S12S SDI-12 water level sensor has been selected for accurate monitoring of water depth in Class A evaporation pans. These pans, also known as Colorado Sunken Pans or Symon’s Tanks, are crucial tools in climatology, meteorology, and environmental studies for determining evaporation rates. By adhering to standardized pan dimensions, researchers can reliably compare evaporation data across diverse geographical locations. This data is particularly valuable for agricultural applications, enabling farmers to optimize irrigation scheduling and water resource management.
The S12S sensor’s 0.5 meter depth range is perfectly suited for the shallow profile of evaporation pans. Its submersible design and robust stainless steel construction ensure durability and reliable performance in outdoor environments. The sensor utilizes the SDI-12 protocol, a widely adopted standard for environmental data acquisition. This digital interface allows for seamless integration with various data loggers and monitoring systems, facilitating efficient data collection and analysis.
The sensor’s compatibility with SDI-12 offers several advantages. It enables multi-parameter measurements using a single communication bus, simplifying system setup and reducing cabling requirements. Furthermore, SDI-12 supports self-identification and configuration of sensors, streamlining system integration and maintenance. The use of digital communication also minimizes signal noise and interference, ensuring data integrity over long cable runs.
