Global Flora has a wide array of environmental sensors!
- Access the variety of sensors that are currently logging information within the greenhouse.
- Select or bring your own sensor(s), and install them in existing dataloggers or your own
Sensor types
Temperature and humidity sensor
Campbell Scientific CS215 Model (2 units—one per biome)
This sensor measures the amount of water vapor in the air and its temperature. It uses a radiation shield to prevent solar radiation heating from causing measurement errors.
Standard Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +70°C// -40°F to +158°F
Relative Humidity Measurement Range: 0 to 100% RH (-20°C to +60°C//-4°F to +140°F)
Sun calibration sensor
Apogee Instruments SQ-110-SS Model (1 unit in dry biome)
This sensor measures the amount of light within a plant canopy based on Photosynthetic Photon Flux.
Light Spectrum Waveband: 410 to 655 nanometers
Soil Moisture, conductivity, and temperature sensor
Campbell Scientific CS655 Model (8 units—4 per biome)
The CS655 measures the water content, electrical conductivity, and temperature of the soil.
Standard Operating Temperature Range: -50°C to +70°C//-58°F to +158°F
Bulk Electrical Conductivity Range: 0 to 8 dS/m (deciSiemens/metre)
Volumetric Water Content Range: 0 to 100%
Soil response thermistor reference oxygen sensor
Apogee Instruments SO-110 Model (2 units in dry biome)
The SO-110 measures soil oxygen content.
Measurement Range: 0 to 100% O₂
