Leaf-to-Air Temperature Sensor: LAT-B3 | Ecomatik

The Ecomatik LAT-B3 is a leaf-to-air temperature sensor for continuous measurement of leaf surface and surrounding air temperatures. It also measures the temperature difference between the leaf and ambient air for plant monitoring.

LAT-B3: Leaf-to-Air Temperature Broadleaf Type

With it's ultra-light-weight magnetic clamp mechanism the LAT-B3’s is mounted on a leaf where it uses two high-precision micro-thermistor probes to simultaneously measures absolute leaf temperature (Tleaf) and air temperature (Tair). In every individual sensor the two thermistor probes are factory-matched, ensuring maximum precision when determining the difference between leaf and air temperature (ΔTleaf-to-air).

Advantages

• Direct, continuous and highly accurate measurement of blade temperature (Tleaf), air temperature (Tair), and leaf-air temperature difference (ΔTleaf-to-air)
• Small, lightweight and flexible sensors to minimize loading on and damage to the measurement object
• Easy installation
• Maximum stability against wind and rain; specifically designed for field conditions
• Customizable production possible, e.g. for specific leaf/needle size
• Extremely low power consumption, suitable for IoT application
• Sensor signal in mV, measurable with most common data loggers

What should you check before choosing this product?

Match the dendrometer geometry to the plant part and expected size changes. Check mounting clearance, measuring range and data logger compatibility before specifying the installation.
