Product Introduction
The leaf wetness sensor allows to determine the degree of wetting on the foliage, the duration of a certain state (wet or dry) and determine whether there are precipitations (rain). In function of the degree of wetting, the sensor detects a change of the electrical resistance on the elements of the grid and the output signal can be acquired by a data logger.
- High precision leaf wetness sensor
- Easy to install and with low weight
- According to WMO standards
- Easy to clean up and maintain
