BaseLine Soil Moisture Sensors | Select your Model Baseline Inc

• The sensor has no electrical contact with the soil
• Freeze/heat resistant -4oF to 140oF (-20oC to 60oC)
• Can only be connected to Baseline controllers
• Requires 3M™ DBR/Y-6 Direct Bury Splice Kit wire connectors on the two-wire side
• Requires all connections to be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions
• The sensor element is constructed of a multi-layer fiberglass stick
• Comes with 50 feet of 18-gauge (UL) direct burial, dual conductor irrigation cable (voltage rating: 300V, temp rating: 167oF (75oC)) to connect to the two-wire
• Has a built-in temperature sensor used while calibrating the soil moisture readings
• Has a conditional five-year exchange warranty
• Sensor logic module measures 2” x 3” x 1”
• BL-5311 Compact biSensor
• Sensor blade measures 3.2” x 3.25” x .075”
• The measured volume is 4.5 cubic inches, or 0.25” on either side of the sensor
• BL-5315B Original biSensor
• Sensor blade measures 14.95” x 2.25” x .075”
• The measured volume is 12.96 cubic inches, or 0.25” on either side of the sensor

Features

• Accurately measures soil moisture using patented modified TDT technology
• Self-calibrates to all soil types and conditions
• Soil moisture readings are within ±3% of the actual volumetric soil moisture content
• Measurement ranges from 5% moisture to fully saturated soil
• Capable of measuring changes of less than 0.1%
• Measures soil temperature
• Moisture readings are consistent in salty conditions
• The sensor is completely sealed – no electrical contact with soil eliminates any electrostatic degradation or Galvanic corrosion of the sensing element
• Power surge resistant
• Shock resistant
• Not affected by salts or fertilizers
• Provides automatic and continuous measurements of soil moisture and soil temperature
• Has true two-way communication using a 9-byte packet for commands and replies
• Capable of self-identifying to the two-wire controller and will report pre-configured unique serial numbers
• Has one pre-assigned serial number
• Has standard error collision detections and will resend messages on the two-wire

Baseline offers two different biSensors to meet your watering needs. The 15-inch original biSensor is ideal for in-ground applications, and water feature monitoring. The 3-inch compact biSensor is ideal for green roofs, green walls, and containers. The biSensors differ only in their dimensions; otherwise, they both have the same operating features and operating specifications. Either biSensor can be used in any application.
