At a glance

The Renke RS-ECTHPH-N01-TR-1 is a 6-in-1 RS-485 soil probe reporting moisture, temperature, EC, pH, salinity and TDS over Modbus-RTU on RS-485 at 4800 bps, 8N1, on DC 4.5–30 V. This guide documents 15 registers, default Modbus address 1. It does not report N-P-K. For those on the same bus: N-P-K → JXBS-3001-TR (7-in-1). It is register-compatible with the SN-3001-TR-ECTHPH-N01 and ZTS-3001-TR-ECTHPH-N01, which the same firmware profile reads unchanged. Sankhya firmware profile: ZTS_4in1_ECTHPH.

A confirmed Renke map, already connected to Sankhya Farms

The official Renke map confirms that the RS-ECTHPH-N01-TR-1 is register-compatible with the ZTS/SN ECTHPH family. Sankhya Farms reads it through the ZTS_4in1_ECTHPH profile, applies the signed and decimal conversions, and sends moisture, temperature, EC, pH, salinity and TDS to the free cloud dashboard. Calibration and coefficient registers remain available for maintenance without being confused with live series.

This is a broad root-zone instrument for orchards, fields, greenhouse beds, nursery containers, home gardens, landscape trials or compatible solid hydroponic media. The combined history can reveal whether pH or EC moved during a drying cycle and whether a salinity rise persisted after irrigation. It can also be used simply as a remote display and logger. If the job is a water tank, nutrient reservoir or recirculating solution, select a liquid-rated RS-485 pH/EC sensor; protocol compatibility and environmental suitability are separate questions.

One decoder, three documented models: this Renke unit, ZTS-3001-TR-ECTHPH-N01 and SN-3001-TR-ECTHPH-N01 share the parameter map. Review physical differences before substitution.

How are the Renke ECTHPH values decoded?

The live sequence begins with moisture 0000H ×0.1%, signed temperature 0001H ×0.1 °C, EC 0002H in µS/cm and pH 0003H ×0.1. Salinity and TDS are 0004H and 0005H on this Renke map. Coefficients at 0022H0024H and calibration addresses at 0050H onward should be handled separately. Sankhya's profile preserves that distinction.

Can I replace a ZTS ECTHPH probe with this Renke model?
The register map and parameter set are compatible. Check supply voltage, cable identification, housing and installation specifications before making a physical substitution.
Does the dashboard require all six values?
No. They can all be stored while a particular view focuses on one or two parameters.

Notes & caveats

Upgraded to 0.95 — official Renke RS-ECTHPH-N01-TR-1 manual V1.2 (renkeer.com) uploaded and verified. Register map confirmed: 0000H=moisture×0.1%, 0001H=temp×0.1°C, 0002H=EC(us/cm), 0003H=pH×0.1, 0004H=salinity, 0005H=TDS.

Added salinity, TDS, coefficient (0022H-0024H) and calibration (0050H-0053H) registers from official manual. Register layout fully confirmed identical to ZTS_4in1_ECTHPH family. Default baud 4800 confirmed.

Common questions

What baud rate does the Renke RS-ECTHPH-N01-TR-1 use by default?
4800 bps, 8N1. It is a Modbus-RTU slave; default address 1.
What supply voltage does the Renke RS-ECTHPH-N01-TR-1 need?
DC 4.5–30 V (≤ 0.5 W (24 V DC)).
How do I change the Renke RS-ECTHPH-N01-TR-1 Modbus address?
Write the device-address register with function code 0x06, one device on the bus at a time, then power-cycle. See the Configuration section above.
Is the Renke RS-ECTHPH-N01-TR-1 compatible with the Sankhya platform?
Yes — it is in the Sankhya RS-485 sensor library and the firmware-generation pipeline can produce node firmware for it.
Does the Renke RS-ECTHPH-N01-TR-1 measure N-P-K?
The Renke RS-ECTHPH-N01-TR-1 reports moisture, temperature, EC, pH, salinity and TDS only — it does not report N-P-K. On the same RS-485 bus, add N-P-K: JXBS-3001-TR (7-in-1).
Is the Renke RS-ECTHPH-N01-TR-1 the same as the SN-3001-TR-ECTHPH-N01?
They are register-compatible, not identical products. Both expose the same parameter set and the same Modbus register map, and Sankhya reads both with the ZTS_4in1_ECTHPH firmware profile. Housing, cable gland and probe material can differ between vendors, so check the electrical specs above before substituting one for the other.
