Measure soil temperature
The rugged RT-1 soil temperature sensor is an easy-to-use sensor for measuring the temperature of soil or other materials.
Weatherproof for long-term use
This sensor is stainless steel, completely water proof, submersible, and designed for continuous outdoor use.
Plug and play technology
This rugged temperature sensor can be used with the Em5b and Em50 data logger series. To measure volumetric water content and temperature, we recommend using the 5TM, 5TE, or GS3 sensor.
