Air temperature, humidity and air pressure measurement
The HPT probe enables simultaneous measurement of air temperature, humidity and air pressure. The integrated sensor technology is highly precise and has a very fast response time. Like all COMBI 5000 The COMBI 5000 is an universal instrument Functions: sensors, the air temperature and humidity for the immediate measurement of the most pH measurement sensor is automatically recognised by a important parameters in plant production. special coding as soon as it is connected to pH is one of the most important parameters in the basic unit. Universally applicable the plant nutrition. The absorption of nutrients Wide range of probes for monitoring by the plants is highly dependent on pH. The HPT sensor is especially important in nutritional status of your plants. For this reason, fast, easy and accurate pH greenhouse cultivation with ventilation and measurements are essential in professional shading installations.

The measuring principle of "activity" has been developed by Prof. Dr. Tepe, a former director of the Research Institute for Soil Science and Plant Nutrition Geisenheim, Germany. Since then this method has been applied as an easy, fast and reliable control of plant nutrition. The probes are made of stainless steel and are available in three different lengths. A special maintenance or storage of the equipment is not required.
