FOM2/mts - new field-operated meter

FOM2/mts is a new TDR meter for field measurements of soil moisture, temperature and electrical conductivity. It superseded the old FOM/mts device. The new field instrument is smaller, lighter and has better battery. It is euipped with a Bluetooth Low Energy module and can be operated by a smartphone or a tablet using an Android app.  ​Due to implemented modifications and manufacturing improvements, the new FOM2/mts is a more economical solution than the old FOM/mts, without losing measurement accuracy. ​
Features:
  • Controlled remotely via Bluethooth Low Energy by an Android (v. 4.3 and higher) app available at Google Store (see compatibility remarks).
  • Measurement capabilities and accuracy as in FOM/mts device: soil moisture (accuracy: ±2%), bulk electrical conductivity (accuracy: ±0.01 S/m) and temperature (accuracy: ±0.5°C).
  • Operates with FP/mts and LP/ms TDR probes with cable lengths up to 6 m.​
  • USB port enables full control by a PC application.

FOM/mts - Field-Operated Meter - DISCONTINUED

FOM/mts has been discontinued - new field-operated meter FOM2/mts equipped with wireless communication is now available. 

FOM/mts is a light and durable handheld TDR meter of water content, salinity (by means of bulk electrical conductivity) and temperature in porous bodies, especially soil. It is designed primarily for field use with FP/mts field TDR probe.
Technical parameters:
  • Light handheld enclosure.
  • Ability to register and store up to 1000 readings in the internal flash memory.
  • Keyboard and LCD display (160x128 dots) with user friendly operating software.
  • Connection by a USB interface with PC compatible computers for data transfer, probe calibration and firmware upgrade.
  • Free PC software.
  • Internal real-time clock.
  • Lithium-polymer battery supply.
Features:
  • Measurement of soil moisture (accuracy: ±2% ), bulk electrical conductivity (accuracy: ±0.01 S/m) and temperature (accuracy: ±0.5°C).
  • Operates with field FP/mts and laboratory LP/ms probes.
  • Ability to calibrate individual probes to achieve better measurement accuracy.
  • Supports probes with various cable lengths from 1.5 up to 6 m.
