The access tubes, probes and sensors supplied by Sentek are specifically designed to be used together.
Other brands of probe and access tube are not compatible with the Sentek products and should not be used
as they may damage Sentek equipment. Damage to Sentek equipment through incorrect use will invalidate

The TriSCAN sensor produces an output in volumetric ion content (VIC). VIC is a nominal instrument value
that is produced by the sensor data processing model. VIC does not represent the exact soil Electrical
Conductivity value. Changes of units of VIC represent changes in units of soil EC. The exact relationship
between VIC and EC however, varies with soil type. If a relationship between VIC and EC needs to be
established, please refer to section on “Benchmarking Soil Salinity –TriSCAN Calibration” in this manual.
