GroPoint™ Profile Stevens Water Monitoring

True Soil Profiling Quantification

Unlike any other soil profiling probe, GroPoint Profile provides true soil profiling quantification, measuring the average moisture across the entire length of each segment (15cm or 6”), because there are no gaps between segments.

This unique feature allows measuring the water movement through the soil continuously, rather than just at discrete positions on the probe.

Installing a GroPoint Profile probe is quick and easy with no excavation required. Attach the slide hammer to the sturdy steel pilot rod. Slide the top segment of the slide hammer up as much as it goes, then down forcefully. It will strike the bottom segment and drive the attached pilot rod into the soil. The hole will be the exact size of the probe, so not only is there minimal disruption to the surrounding soil, there will be no air gaps between the probe and the undisturbed soil. This clever design further increases measurement accuracy. The slide hammer is used to extract the pilot rod again, with a couple of quick upward movements (like hammering in reverse).

GroPoint Profile is available in six different multi-segment lengths, suitable for a wide range of agricultural crop monitoring.

You can also choose from two different configurations for temperature sensors, depending on your requirements. You can configure it with no temperature sensors if you only require moisture measurement, or the standard configuration places temperature sensors every 1 or 2 segments.

Choose the number of 15 cm (6″) segments that are right for your application. Custom lengths also available.

This single 4-segment probe is equivalent to 4 separate probes, each measuring the average moisture across 15cm (6″). Soil moisture is measured at 4 different depths simultaneously. Each segment averages the volumetric moisture content measured over 15 cm (6″). Together, the range covered is the length of the entire probe, with no gaps between.

Multi-depth options

The Most Accurate and Cost-Effective Soil Profiling Solution Available

  • Eliminates need for multiple sensors and cabling systems.
  • Measures across the entire length of the probe, averaging the soil moisture and temperature in each segment
  • Installs quickly and easily without excavating.
  • One SDI-12 address is used to read all segments, providing for simplified installations. Optional RS-485 output.
  • Moisture readings can be user-calibrated with 3rd-order polynomials to meet custom requirements.
  • Low power requirements—suitable for remote, autonomous applications.
  • Patented TDT5 technology for scientific-grade accuracy and excellent long-term stability of measurements.
  • Fully potted electronics for excellent durability.
