Soil Resistance Meters are required for soil resistivity testing with the HM-940 Soil Resistivity Kit to determine the average resistivity of the soil to a depth equal to the spacing between electrodes. The soil resistivity meters are available with analog or digital features, and both include a NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration.

HM-942 Analog Soil Resistance Meter provides soil resistance values to be read directly from the analog dial without performing additional calculations. The wide-range, high-sensitivity soil resistivity meter has a large dial for easy readability and eight ranges from 0.01 ohms to 1.1 megaohms. It operates on C-cell alkaline batteries.

HM-944 Digital Soil Resistivity Meter selects the range and adjusts dials automatically. It features an instant resistance reading at the push of a button on a high-resolution digital display. It has a total range from 0.01 Ohms to 10 megaohms. The included ProCP Soil Resistivity Software allows optional data logging via wireless connectivity to a PC or Android device (not included). Logged readings can be automatically dated and time-stamped with positioning when integrated with GPS features from the user’s handheld device. Powered by D-cell replaceable alkaline batteries. Can perform 10,000 single readings on a new set of batteries.

The meters are encased in lightweight, rugged, weatherproof IP67-rated plastic.

Features:

  • Quick and easy-to-read results
  • Readings require no operator calculations
  • Rugged weatherproof case, safe to use on wet ground
  • Uses the 4-Pin Wenner Method

Included Items:

  • Soil Resistivity Meter, Analog or Digital
  • NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration

Accessories:

  • HM-940 Soil Resistivity Test Kit contains components necessary for testing with the 4-pin Wenner method
  • Soil Boxes select from small or large sizes to connect to the meter with soil test lead wires
  • HMA-670 Soil Resistivity Reel includes four color-coded wires, which are plugged into its hub and connect to the meter
  • Soil Pins serves as an electrode in testing with the 4-pin Wenner method
  • HMA-673 Leads for Soil Box connect to the soil box and meter during testing

Q: Will this work with fan-forced heaters?

I'm very satisfied with this product. It was exactly what I wanted in my travel trailer, for a lot more accurate heating. Now I can pinpoint it to exactly the temperature I want, instead of guessing, sliding the conventional thermostat back and forth. Will for sure save on propane too! Nice back light when adjusting the temperature, making it easy to see even at night.
