Envco – Environmental Equipment

The ECH2O System is made of data loggers, sensors, telemetry, and software that help you measure soil moisture and other environmental parameters accurately and cost effectively. Decagon's innovative sensors are the heart of the ECH2O System. Decagon also designed the system to be very easy to use (no programming needed).

The Em5b is a 5-channel, self-contained data logger. It is housed in a white weather-resistant enclosure, making it suitable for outdoor operation in moderate weather climates. It is powered by 4 AAA-size alkaline batteries. Your Em5b is designed primarily to make soil moisture measurements. It is the most cost effective logger in the ECH2O System. Decagon created the Em5b for researchers on a tight budget who want to measure large numbers of soil moisture sensors
