The PR2 SDI-12 is a new digital alternative to the well-established analogue PR2 Profile Probe.

It shares the many strengths of the analogue PR2 soil moisture probe, but with the addition of SDI-12 compatibility – allowing integration into new and existing SDI-12 systems.

Key Features:

• Multiple PR2 SDI-12s can be connected to a compatible data logger via a single cable
• Enables the creation of low cost highly flexible sensor networks
• Compatible with existing PR2 access tubes and auguring kits
• Conforms to industry standard SDI-12 (v1.3) spec
• Flexible integration with 3rd party SDI-12 hardware
• New low power design; ideal for remote sites

The PR2 SDI-12 Profile Probe builds on the reputation and field proven technology of the analogue PR2. By adopting the widely used SDI-12 interface (v1.3) the PR2 SDI-12 can be integrated with an even wider range of data loggers, sensors and equipment.

SDI-12 is an established communication standard adopted by many manufacturers of environmental monitoring and control equipment. It is popular because it allows large numbers of sensors (from many vendors) to be connected to a logger via a simple cable network, thereby reducing the cost and complexity of wiring large sensor installations.
