Medidas del contenido de agua en suelo
Resumen
El HS2 es el display de mano del sensor Hydrosense II para medida del contenido de agua en suelo. Este display apareado con una de las sondas portátiles CS658 o CS659, sustituye al anterior sistema Hydrosense ya descatalogado. Tanto el display como las sondas han sido rediseñados y se puede utilizar con una sola mano.

Descripción detallada
Handheld Display
The display consists of a 76 mm LCD and four navigation buttons that make changing settings and taking measurements as easy as possible. An integrated GPS tags each measurement with a latitude and longitude.
Zones can be created on the unit which group measurements together so that average soil moisture can be calculated for an area. The current position and zone are shown on the display so that measurements can be taken in the same zone.
Data storage has been added to allow more than 1000 measurements to be stored on the device. The data can then be downloaded to a PC via Bluetooth for viewing and archiving.
Soil Moisture Probe
The new soil moisture probe uses the same accurate measurement technique as the old probe, but the probe housing has been redesigned to aid insertion into and removal from hard soils. The probe rods are secured to the probe housing with ferrule nuts to provide extra stability during insertion. A molded plastic grip connects the sensor cable to housing to provide better grip.
Software
New PC software has been developed to make the most of the data storage capability of the HS2. The software connects to the HS2 via Bluetooth to avoid the need for extra cables.
The software allows the user to:
- View data in table and chart views
- Edit zone positions and sizes
- Change device settings
- Export data to CSV to interface with 3rd party software
- View zones and measurements in Google Earth

Compatibilidad
System
The HS2 is the display used in the Hydrosense II System.
Water Content Sensors
The water content sensor is ordered as an option, and may also be purchased separately. Either the CS658 or CS659 can be used with the HS2. The CS658 has 20-cm rods, and the CS659 has 12-cm rods.
Note: The CS658 and CS659 cannot share rods (i.e., 12-cm rods cannot be used with the CS658, and 20-cm rods cannot be used with the CS659).

As stated in the "Connecting via Bluetooth" subsection in the "Data Storage and Retrieval" section of the HS2 Instruction Manual: “The first time the HydroSense II unit is used with a new computer, the computer and HydroSense II must be ‘paired’ before a connection can be made. The pairing code is ‘1234.’” For more information, see the "Connect to a Device" subsection of the "Quickstart" section of the HydroSense II Support Software User Guide.

-
When Deficit Mode is used, a value greater than 100% RWC indicates that the water content is above the wet reference. For more information, see the "Water Deficit Data" subsection in the "Operation" section of the HS2 Instruction Manual.
-
When Deficit Mode is used, a negative RWC value indicates that the water content is below the dry reference. For more information, see the "Water Deficit Data" subsection in the "Operation" section of the HS2 Instruction Manual.
-
No. The displays and sensors are not interchangeable between the HydroSense and HydroSense II.
-
Four AA batteries power the HS2. The batteries are user replaceable.
-
-
No. These products are retired.
- The CD620 display was replaced by the HS2.
- The CS620 Water Content Sensor was replaced with the CS658 and CS659.
