FYTA Beam


Measurement data



  • Measurement data Volumetric water content (VWC) in %.  
  • Electrical conductivity (EC) in mS/cm
  • Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in µmol/m2/sec
  • Daylight integral (DLI) in mol/m2/day
  • Ambient temperature: °C


Accuracy

  • In the range between VWC 0-65%, the beam measures with a variance of +/- 5%. A higher accuracy or measuring range can be achieved with a media-specific calibration.
  • EC: 0.3 - 1.7 mS/cm variance
  • PAR: up to 2,000 μmol/s with a variance of +/-0.5%.
