Soil Monitoring
ND-TRS12 Soil Moisture, Temperature & EC Sensor (Point)
What is the ND-TRS12? The ND-TRS12 is a point-measurement soil sensor for volumetric water content (VWC), temperature and bulk electrical conductivity. Suitable for both mineral soils (0–0.7 m³/m³) and soilless media (0–1.0 m³/m³) with ±0.03 m³/m³ typical accuracy and EC up to 20 dS/m — ideal for irrigation control, smart agriculture, greenhouses, parks and golf courses connected to the yDoc ML-525 datalogger.

Applications
Where the ND-TRS12 is used
Irrigation control
Targeted irrigation triggered by VWC and EC at the specific depth that matters for your crop.
Smart agriculture
Field-level VWC + EC for nutrient management, fertigation control and yield optimisation.
Greenhouses & soil-less
Substrate VWC and EC monitoring in hydroponics and protected cropping systems.
Parks & landscapes
Smart irrigation of urban greenery and ornamental plantings.
Golf courses
Turf moisture and salinity for greens, fairways and tees.
Integration
Powered by the yDoc ML-525 datalogger
The ND-TRS12 connects directly to the yDoc ML-525 datalogger. The yDoc powers the sensor, schedules measurements, stores readings locally and transmits them to the Sensor-Online platform via 4G/LTE-M, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, satellite or Ethernet — with up to 10 years of battery life.
