Leaf Wetness Monitor
Leaf Wetness Monitoring for Smarter Agriculture and Environmental Insights
Leaf wetness monitoring is essential for monitoring leaf moisture, predicting disease outbreaks, and optimizing irrigation schedules. The LWS10 is a robust and reliable solution for accurate leaf wetness monitoring in agriculture, horticulture, and environmental research. Designed for real-time data collection, the OZLWS_1 helps assess surface moisture levels on plants, supporting critical decisions in irrigation planning and disease prevention.
The leaf wetness sensor uses capacitive sensing technology to detect moisture on plant surfaces. Its surface is specially designed to mimic the texture of a natural leaf. When moisture like dew, rain, or irrigation settles on the sensor, the capacitance level changes depending on the surface’s wetness or dryness. These changes are then accurately measured and translated into real-time wetness data.
The LWS10 is a robust and reliable solution for accurate leaf wetness monitoring with real-time data collection. It is built to withstand extreme weather conditions. The sensor is IP68-rated and weather-resistant for long-term outdoor use. Its compact, lightweight design ensures easy installation in crop fields, greenhouses, or research sites. With low power consumption and SDI-12 output compatibility, the LWS10 seamlessly integrates into existing weather stations and data logging systems.
The LWS10 comes pre-calibrated from the factory, ensuring accurate and consistent monitoring right out of the box. This eliminates the need for manual calibration during installation, saving time and effort while guaranteeing reliable performance from day one.
