Product catalog summary
Overview: The EC-5 Soil Moisture Sensor is designed for large network soil moisture sensing, offering research-grade accuracy at an affordable price. It is suitable for characterizing sites with sensors at multiple depths and locations.
Specifications:
  • Measurement: Volumetric water content (VWC) range of 0%–100% with a resolution of 0.001 m³/m³ in mineral soils and 0.25% in growing media. Accuracy is ±0.03 m³/m³ for generic calibration and ±0.02 m³/m³ for medium-specific calibration.
  • Communication: Outputs 10%–40% of excitation voltage, compatible with METER data loggers and other systems capable of switched 2.5–3.6 VDC excitation.
  • Physical: Dimensions are 8.9 cm x 1.8 cm x 0.7 cm with a prong length of 5 cm. Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to 50 °C. Standard cable length is 5 m, with a maximum custom length of 40 m.
  • Electrical: Supply voltage ranges from 2.5 VDC to 3.6 VDC with a maximum measurement duration of 10 ms.
Features:
  • Measures volumetric water content accurately.
  • Cost-effective for large sensor networks.
  • Compact and easy to install.
  • Factory calibrations for various soil types.
  • Easy integration with other systems and plug-and-play capability.
Compliance: Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 and complies with several EU standards including EM ISO/IEC 17050:2010 and EN61326-1:2013.
Support: METER Group offers comprehensive support, including manufacturing, testing, calibration, and repair services. Contact information is provided for both US and European offices.

You can adequately characterize your site with sensors at multiple depths and locations, even if you’re on a tight budget. Engineered for accuracy The EC-5 determines volumetric water content (VWC) by measuring the dielectric constant of the media using capacitance/frequency domain technology. Its 70 MHz frequency minimizes salinity and textural effects, making this sensor accurate in almost any soil or soilless media. Factory calibrations are included for mineral soils, potting soils, rockwool, and perlite.
