Sensor Overview:

Model DC3: Designed for slow/normal growing species.
Model DC4: Suitable for fast growing species.
Both models feature a patented design that compensates for mechanical pressure on the surface, enhancing comparability across trees with varying diameters.

Specifications:

Suitable Plant Size: Diameter greater than 5 cm.
Sensor Range: DC3: 25.4 mm circumference, 50.8 mm diameter; DC4: 50.8 mm circumference, 100 mm diameter.
Resolution: Infinite sensor resolution; reading resolution depends on the data logger used (e.g., CR1000 or Dendrometer logger DL18).
Accuracy: DC3: Max. ±1.97% of reading; DC4: Max. ±0.98% of reading. Data logger dependent accuracy varies.
