Simplicity without sacrifice

You need accurate soil moisture measurements from easily installed sensors without extensive excavation. Most profile probes require you to choose between ease of installation and removal, sensor accuracy, measurement volume, and durability. At METER, we weren't willing to create a soil moisture profile probe unless it could meet all of these requirements. That's why we made the TEROS 54.

There's the hard way, and then there's the right way

We designed the TEROS 54 profile probe to make every step of your
measurement process easier-without sacrificing accuracy or durability.
Soil water content and temperature sensors are positioned at 15, 30, 45,
and 60 cm depths, providing root zone measurements without requiring
soil pits or cumbersome sensor retrieval at lower depths. You get the
convenience of profile measurements combined with the research-grade
accuracy you've come to expect from METER.

Sim Get in. Get out. Get data.

Avoid the cost, hassle, and time of large drilling equipment and pilot
tubes. TEROS 54 installation only requires a simple 2 cm borehole for
the robust quad-fin profile sensor to then be hammered into the soil.
This creates better sensor/soil contact for more accurate readings.
Removing the TEROS 54 is made simple with the dedicated extraction tool,
making this sensor ideal for annual crops that require sensors to be
installed and removed multiple times throughout the year.

Do more with less

Using multiple individual sensors in a large sensor network *can
create a cord management nightmare, requiring an overabundance of
wires and using up all the ports on your data logger. The TEROS 54
alleviates this problem, connecting all the sensors to the ZL6 data
logger via one wire while maintaining your ability to monitor
individual sensors in ZENTRA Cloud. Best of all, the TEROS 54 is
plug and play-no programming or wiring necessary.

See the bigger picture

Other cylindrical profile probes have a minimal measurement volume, only
allowing you to see what is happening in a small volume of soil. The
quad-fin design of the TEROS 54 creates a large measurement volume than
the typical soil moisture profile probe, providing a more holistic view
of soil moisture status. More sensors per data logger combined with more
soil measured with each probe means you can build a larger data pool
with fewer resources. And with ZENTRA Cloud, you can see all your data
remotely in real time from the comfort of your own desk

Confidence is king

Since 2001 METER has been dedicated to producing highly accurate,
easy-to-use soil moisture sensors, but we haven't offered a profile
probe-until now. We made the bold decision that our profile probe had to
compare to the quality and accuracy standards that environmental
researchers have come to rely on from METER. With the TEROS 54, you can
measure confidently, knowing your sensors are designed and constructed
by scientists who understand the challenges you face and the importance
of getting it right.
