Professional Digital Moisture Meter Details
This break through soil moisture meter is for professionals, but is affordable to any hobby gardener.
Moisture, temperature,and light are the three most critical parameters for your plants. The VG-METER-200 measures all 3 of these, and comes in a rugged pocket sized case.
Integrated VH400 Moisture Probe
This meter comes with our highly accurate VH400 soil moisture sensors with a 1.2 meter (4 ft) cable. The VH400 probe is slender so it will not disrupt the root system of your plants. It's also rugged, waterproof and will never corrode. Because it uses transmission line techniques to measure moisture, theVH400probe is insensitive to soil salinity. Soil moisture results are displayed as a simple percentage (VWC) and ranges from 0 to 100%.
Measures Ambient Temperature
The meter can display ambient temperature either in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The temperature is measured at the hand held unit.
Are your Plants Getting Enough Light?
Without a light meter, it can be difficult to know if your indoor plants are getting enough light, or if outside shade plants are getting too much light. The VG-METER-200 helps you to figure this out by displaying light levels in Lux, allowing you to either move your plants, or increase the light levels with grow lights.
Rugged Ergonomic design
The hand held enclosure is small enough to fit in a pocket, and has molded rubber sides for a comfortable grip.
The meter can easily be customized using the simple 5 key silicone rubber keypad. For example, using the keypad, you can set the time, and temperature units by selecting options from the menu screen.
Highly Visible Graphical Display
The meter comes with a easy to read graphical display. The home screen displays all 3 measurements with the current time and icons indicating each measurement. For greater visibility, each of the measurements can be viewed exclusively in large format characters, by pressing the left and right keys on the keypad.
Long Battery Life
It runs on 2 AA batteries and because it is so low power, the batteries should last for years, with normal use.
Stream Data to a Computer with the USB Version
The meter comes in two varieties, one with a USB interface and one without. The version with the USB interface, can stream data to a computer through most communication programs such as Termite, Putty. The USB version comes with a micro-USB cable.
