Automatic Infiltration Meter AIM1

The Automatic Infiltration Meter AIM1 is designed to provide automated logging of infiltration measurements. Infiltration data is one of the key parameters for any planning and agricultural operations, eg determine irrigation scheduling, estimation of run of, design of sprinkler system. It is ideal for researchers, because it saves time.

The Automatic Infiltration Meter AIM1 is stand-alone logger, with an 8GB SD card providing onboard storage for later analysis. Combined with the internal battery, this provides logging options for long term, time efficient monitoring of infiltration. The battery is easily recharged with a 24V power supply (CH24). Communication is via a USB port. The Automatic Infiltration Meter AIM1 is IP-65 rated and has a Windows and Mac compatible Graphical User Interface. With user configurable logging intervals, the user can allocate the time that is required for the soil type under analysis. Examples include 1 second intervals for sandy soil, or minutes for clay soils.

The AIM1 can support up to two Tension Infiltrometers or your own Infiltrometer/Permeameter with installation advice from ICT International.

The AIM1 is ideally used in combination with the volumetric moisture content instrument, the MPKit-406B portable soil moisture kit. For longer term monitoring the Soil Tension Meter (soil water potential) and Soil Moisture Meter (soil water content) are available.
