WATERTOWN, Mass., ZIJTAART, the Netherlands — Exergen Global today announced the AGRI edition as its latest addition to its extensive AutoSmart IRt/c family line which already consisted of 11 AutoSmart IRt/c sensors. The AutoSmart Transmitter is the first transmitter in the world capable of fully calibrating Exergen IRt/c sensors to provide unprecedented accuracy of 0.1 °F or 0.1 °C by custom calibration over a very specific range providing two unique advantages:
1. an accuracy that is 10 times better than standards on infrared sensors with the same output,
2. a repeatability error of ± 0.01°C.
Over the years more and more sensors are employed in greenhouses to measure a large variety of parameters, allowing professionals to closely monitor crop or flower condition thereby increasing yield and quality. Temperature is a key parameter as it drives plant development. Greenhouse climates are controlled by air temperature. Plant or leaf temperature is of added value it is a direct measurement of the developmental rate of the plant itself instead of the indirect measure of air temperature. Due to radiation and/or transpiration plant temperature can significantly deviate from the air temperature. The combination of air and leaf temperature improves insight in the plant water status: i.e., transpiration and thus the amount of water plants require. Plant temperature is also used to prevent heat stress.
The AutoSmart AGRI assembly consists of:
• Small size non-contact temperature sensor
• Teflon housing for protection and stability
• Flexible gooseneck for easy sensor positioning
• Clamp for mounting
• Customizable cable length
The AutoSmart AGRI sensor features:
• Output options 0-5V, 0-10V, 4-20mA
• Repeatability error 0.1% full scale
• Interchangeability ±1.5% full scale
• Resolution approx. 0.1°C
• Special calibration for leaf temperature
