Implexx SF-5T Sap flow sensor
The SF-5T is the product of over 50 years of sap flow research and allows plant physiologists to measure, and monitor, sap flow on stems, petioles, pedicels or peduncles with diameters between 4mm and 10mm.
The sensor’s probe is made as a hollow collapsible heat-insulating cylinder. A heater and a pair of bead thermistors are located inside the cylinder. A signal conditioner provides powering of the heater and conditioning of the output signal.
The probe is connected by a standard 1-meter cable to the box with the signal conditioner inside. The output cable length should be specified in the order if required. The SF-5T is connected to a range of data logging systems. Alternatively, we can assist you in connect the sap flow sensors to your existing data logging system.
Please note: The SF-5T should only be used indoors such as greenhouses and growth cabinets. For outdoor use, the sensor must be installed protected from rain or water.
