1. Introduction Thank you for choosing the UMP–1 sensor. This manual can help you understand the UMP-1 features. We designed this UMP–1 sensor as an innovative device for measuring combined soil humidity, conductivity and temperature in soils. The UMP-1 series offers a range of combination sensors supplying high quality measurements at minimum effort.

2. General information 2.1. Structure and basic function The basic construction is the same for all UMP-1 variants (Fig. 1). The probe is waterproof and can be completely buried for a depth or horizontal installation. It is made of plastic or stainless steel, while the measuring rods (antennas) are always made of stainless steel.
4. Mode of operation 4.1. Water content measurement The water content measurement procedure on the UMP-1 sensor is assigned neither to the FDR sensors nor the TDR sensors. The basic mode of operation however corresponds to the FDR process, because the sensor operates with a continuous signal at constant frequency (60 MHz) and not with a pulse.
4.2. Electrical conductivity measurement The UMP-1 sensor records the electrical conductivity of the soil by means of an additional circuit (IC) independently of the soil moisture measurement. This system offers two great advantages. On the one hand an extremely precise measurement of conductivity is possible using the components and measurement principle.
To guarantee an effective use the UMP-1 is available in two different types. Standard as UMP-1 BT for installation in the field at different, maybe even hard to reach sites. And as UMP-1 BTim for measurement campaigns with many single measurements spread over a wide area.

• Einstellungen/Settings: Settings for the app behaviour Devices All UMP-1 probes are managed in the “Devices” dialogue. Only connections to probes listed in this view are possible. The use of Bluetooth restricts the maximum number of simultaneous connections to 7, although the actual app can manage more than 7 probes.
