Specifications

the STM Soil Tension Meter is a stand-alone logging instrument for the measurement of soil water potential.
the STM Soil Tension Meter can support up to 5 pressure transducers. ICT International supplies 3 different types of pressure transducers which can measure in the ranges: 7 kPa, 100 kPa or -100 to +200 kPa. Tensiometers include designs for soil columns and field sites.
 the STM is a fully self-contained unit requiring power input from a 22W solar panel (field applications) or 24V power supply (laboratory applications). Communication is via a USB port or wireless connectivity. the STM is IP-65 rated and has a Windows and Mac compatible GUI for complete logging solutions including look-up tables, scripts and sensor calibration capabilities.

Power:
Internal Battery Specifications 960mAh Lithium Polymer, 4.20 Volts fully charged
External Power Requirements
Bus Power 8-30 Volts DC, non-polarised, current draw is 190mA maximum at 17 volts per logger
USB Power 5 Volts DC
Internal Charge Rate
Bus Power 60mA - 200mA Variable internal charge rate, maximum charge rate of 200mA active when the external voltage rises above 16 Volts DC
USB Power 100mA fixed charge rate
Internal Power Management
Fully Charged Battery 4.20 Volts
Low Power Mode 3.60 Volts - Instrument ceases to take measurements
Discharged Battery 2.90 Volts - Instrument automatically switches off at and below this voltage when no external power connected.
Battery Life varies Example A: with a recommended solar panel and/or recommended power source connected, operation can be continuous.
Example B: Power consumption is dependent on number and type of sensors connected, frequency of measurement and measurement duration.
