The HydraMon app from Stevens Water Monitoring Systems, Inc. allows you to wirelessly connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch to the Stevens Hydra Probe Field Portable through the POGO’s integrated WiFi connection.
Insert the Hydra Probe Field Portable into the soil and the following soil parameters are instantly sampled and displayed on the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch screen:
• Soil moisture percent
• Soil temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius
• Bulk electrical conductivity in dS/m
• Bulk electrical conductivity (temperature corrected) in S/m
• Pore water electrical conductivity in dS/m
• Raw real dielectric permittivity
• Raw imaginary dielectric permittivity
The soil measurements are stored in the HydraMon app, and can easily be emailed or exported to a computer for further analysis.
Utilizing the Stevens Hydra Probe II soil sensor for accurate soil measurement, the Stevens Hydra Probe Field Portable is easy to use and ideally suited for:
• agricultural research applications
• soil and groundwater remediation studies
• watershed management
• spot checks of crops and soil
• irrigation management
• geotechnical measurement
• university studies and research
• and any other application where quality soil data is needed
Since the Stevens Hydra Probe Field Portable has been designed specifically for on-the-go use and soil measurement in the field, locations can be marked and recorded using the GPS location from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Extra charges may apply.
The Factory general calibration has been heavy tested in many soil types and has a typical accuracy of +/- 0.01 water fraction by volume. If the user needs a more accurate calibration for unique non-agricultural soils, Dielectric Permittivities are included in the parameter sets for more quantitative soil analyses.
Note: This app must be paired with the Stevens POGO Portable Soil Sensor to measure and record soil data.
