Description

Our new TXS series switch-tensiometers are based on the TX model tensiometer, and are suitable for all types of solenoid valves and irrigation computers, whether they require a normally open or normally closed contact, and can be used in both DC and AC systems. The maximum switching capacity is: 2A/24 V. Delivery includes rubber protective cap IP 54.

Switching tensiometer Type TXS-F - with fixed switching point

Switching point is fixed. Upper switching point 120 mbar/hPa, lower switching point 80 mbar/hPa. The soil moisture is kept between 80 and 120 mbar/hPa soil water potential.

Switching tensiometer type TXS-E - with adjustable switching point

Two models:

HI: Switching point is freely adjustable between 100 and 300 mbar/hPa. Upper switching point as set, lower switching point always 30 mbar/hPa below the upper switching point.

LO: Switching point is freely adjustable between 50 and 125 mbar/hPa. Upper switching point as set, lower switching point always 20 mbar/hPa below the upper switching point.
