253-L and 257-L Soil Matric Potential Sensors
FIGURE 5-1. 257 Soil Matric Potential Sensor with capacitor circuit and
completion resistor installed in cable. Model 253 is the same,
except that it does not have completion circuitry in the cable.
6. Specifications
Features:
• Survives freeze-thaw cycles
• Rugged, long-lasting sensor
• Buffers salts in soil
• No maintenance required
• Compatible with most Campbell Scientific dataloggers
• The 257 contains blocking capacitors in its cable that minimizes
galvanic degradation and measurement errors due to ground loops
• For the 253, the multiplexer connection prevents electrolysis from
prematurely destroying the probe
