Barometric reference measurements

The BARO Module connects to a TEROS 31 or a TEROS 32 tensiometer as a reference sensor to compensate for barometric pressure. In addition to a reference sensor, the BARO Module can also be used as a standalone sensor to measure atmospheric pressure at the measuring site.

METER ZL6 data loggers are already equipped with a barometric reference sensor. For non-METER (third-party) data loggers, the BARO Module sensor or similar reference sensor is necessary to compensate for barometric pressure.

The BARO Module has different connector types available to cover all variants of METER tensiometer connectors. The BARO Module’s precise pressure sensor guarantees an accurate barometric compensation of the soil water potential measurement.
