Plant stem flow sensor

Use: SF-G stem flow sensor is a probe instrument for measuring stem flow during the day, which was invented by French GRANIER. To calculate the stem flow during the day, the stem flow at night must be zero.　　

Composed of:

· Data collector: CR1000

CR1000

　　Scanning rate: 100Hz

Analog input: 16 single-ended channels (8 differential)

Pulse channels: 2

Operating temperature: -25~50℃ (standard)

Memory: Standard 4M memory, expandable to 2G

Power supply voltage: 9~16VDC

A/D conversion: 13bit

AM16/32 expansion board

　The AM16/32B expansion board increases the number of sensors that the data collector can measure. The AM16/32B can be sequentially switched through four multiplex ports (COM) to measure 16 sets of 4-wire sensors (total 64 wires). In addition, the AM16/32B can be switched to 2-wire mode with a manual transfer switch to sequentially measure 32 sets of 2-wire sensors (also 64 wires in total).

Host can be connected, can connect 10 SF-L probe basic storage :4M. Other high-performance general-purpose data collection available from customers can also be used;

· Precision power adapter: can ensure that each sensor through the current is consistent, to ensure the measurement accuracy;

·SF-G stem-flow sensor: Different stem-flows produce different temperature differences, and the sensor senses the resulting tiny voltage to provide stem-flow calculation data;

How it works: Two probes are inserted into different parts of the trunk, and the upper probe is heated by the flow, and the temperature difference between the two probes is formed. As the water rises, it takes away the heat and the temperature difference between the two probes decreases. There is a functional relationship between temperature difference and stem flow. Stem flow is calculated by measuring the temperature difference.

Supporting equipment: 12V DC power supply, data collector. Constant Power Supply (CCS)

　Constant power supply (CCS) to power up to three SF-L sensors

Installation tool kit

The installation tool kit consists of:

1 hand drill

2 2mm diameter drill bits for drilling into the trunk and mounting the probe

1 8mm drill bit for isolating bark (prevents bark from interfering with probe insertion)

1 special pin to help insert the aluminum tube into the trunk

1 tube of resin to improve heat dissipation from the probe to the trunk
