Agrosta Copains® Bluetooth Soil Penetrometer

Agrosta Copains® is an instrument designed for agriculture monitoring.

We have co-designed it with Copains Srl in Argentina

Simple, efficient and accurate, it stores the data on your smartphone

(Android)

Why using a phone, and which features ? :

- Mobile phones come usually with excellent GPS modules - A smartphone comes with an excellent graphical interface, can display very nice soil profile curves - It has a processor and can make calculation - A phone is an excellent tool for storing data : The soil profile curve is stored as image, and the raw data is stored under Excel compatible format (Csv) The main features are : - PRESSURE measurement, BLUETOOTH low energy and ULTRASONIC radar inside the main unit - The main unit comes with a rechargeable BATTERY (2400 mah) and a charger : The consumption is very low - GPS positioning, DISPLAY and data STORAGE provided by a phone (android - phone not provided) : Just download the free app We have designed it in 2021, our engineers have tried to make the most simple and robust soil compaction tester (Soil consistency meter) as possible : - It has no button except the ON/OFF switch - It provides continuously the GPS position when the satellite is found - It detects automatically when the user takes a measurement (Once the pressure on the shaft reaches 2 Kg), it displays instantly the penetration distance and the pressure in grams every second - Once the pressure goes back under 2 Kg, the pressure and distance measurement stop, just press RECORD in order to store the data Soil consistency meter Technical characteristics : - Pressures from 2000 grams to 100 000 grams - Penetration from 0 to 90 cm - Battery capacity : 2 full days for 2 hour charging - GPS precision : 1 meter - Load cell precision : +/- 2 grams - Ultrasonic Radar precision : +/- 1cm - Data provided in grams and cm (10 and 15mm diameter pointed shaft) Our soil consistency meter comes with : - The instrument itself - A 100 cm stainless steel shaft - 2 tips : 10mm and 15mm diameter - A 110/220 V charger according to your location (US, EU, GB, Asia) - A free app to be downloaded - A plate to be placed on the ground to ensure the bounce of the radar's ultrasound Why test soil consistency ? - Increase yield by increasing root and plant development - Reduce time and fuel cost by reducing power required to till a field - Increase soil water content - Increase the efficiency of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides - Increase the oxygen available for micro life in the soil
