Hi,

The sensor measurement range with general calibration in the soil is 0-50% VWC.

Kind regards,

It looks like 50% VWC would be a 100% humidity on a 0-100 percentage scale ....

Hi Piotr Trembecki,

My question is if I insert a sensor in 1 point how many inches or cm it will sense water from the point of sensor installed.

Thanks,
Md Afroz hussain.

Hi Md Afroz Hussain,

All capacitive sensors are most sensitive at the surface of the probe. It measures well around 1-2mm away of the probe.
We didn't measure the volume of the sensor.
