Description

GrowControl™ SXC is a precision agricultural climate sensor featuring temperature, humidity, and ambient light sensors standard. Optional CO2 ppm sensor allows accurate readings up to 40,000 ppm. Optional PLIR™ downward-looking plant-leaf infrared sensor privdes real-time leaf temperatures for VPD measurements.

Compact sensor array features an improved enclosure design for enhanced durability and performance. Fan aspirated for continuous accuracy and protected with a no-tool servicable air filter.

Digital temperature/humidity chip offers high stability and accuracy with specialized filters to protect the sensor element from dew and dust. Integrated light sensor delivers readings in umol/m2/s (ppfd) with ultra-low light sensitivity for detecting light leaks.

Sensor hangs above the crop canopy and connects to Agrowtek's GrowControl™ GCX Cultivation Controllers as part of a complete facility control solution.

Hang above plant canopies in greenhouses & indoor agricultural facilities.
Monitor & record indoor atmospheric conditions & plant surface temperatures.
Read quantum flux light levels at the canopy.
Measure vapor pressure deficit accurately.

Compatible with third-party PLC's and building automation controls with a LX2 ModLINK™ for MODBUS RTU .

Carbon Dioxide

CO2 ppm Sensor

Upgrade the SXC sensor to include a CO2 ppm sensor module in order to monitor and control CO2! Measure up to 40,000ppm with accurate and reliable NDIR sensor technology.

CO2 sensor module installs inside of the SXC environment sensor and can be upgraded in the field. Sensor is factory installed if ordered as an option.

PLIR™

Plant Leaf Infrared Sensor

New PLIR™ sensor reads plant leaf surface temperatures with a precision downward-looking infrared sensor. The PLIR™ sensor allows accurate real-time calculations of VPD (vapor pressure deficit) eliminating the need to take manual temperature readings with a hand-held pyrometer and entering temperature offsets. Get accurate VPD measurements with the benefit of additional insight into plant health and leaf temperatures.

VPD

Vapor Pressure Deficit

VPD is essentially a measure of the environment's ability to pull moisture from a plant. Lower VPD values are desirable for providing a low-stress environment for optimal plant growth and proper nutrient uptake. VPD is calculated with the SXC's ambient temperature & humidity readings, as well as the plant's leaf temperature. The new PLIR™ sensor option allows accurate VPD measurements in real-time. Without the PLIR™ sensor option, leaf temperatures can be manually entered with a temperature offset value.

Improved Enclosure

New enclosure design offers enhanced protection from elements including dust and mists while maintaining high air flow for sensor accuracy. A new hanger design simplifies installation allowing the cable to double as a rope to suspend the sensor.
