ET107 Weather Station
28
The cable is waterproof but not armored. Therefore, Campbell
Scientific recommends routing the cable through conduit,
especially if rocky soils or rodents are present.
1.
Bury the conduit from the weather station to the soil measurement site.
2.
Route the sensor cable through the conduit.
3.
Bury the end of the sensor so it is in contact with the soil surface to be
measured. See sensor manual for complete instructions.
4.
Plug the cable into the
SDI-12
connector on the enclosure. Ensure that the
plug is completely seated on the connector and the locking ring is turned a
quarter revolution clockwise.
5.5.11 Sensor Connections
Each sensor cable plug attaches to a unique bulkhead connector (FIGURE
and FIGURE
). The labeling of the sensor cables match the labeling on the
back of the enclosure. For more information, refer to Section
(p. 65)
. Refer to Appendix
(p. D-1)
, for
a labeled, exploded view of the enclosure.
Each plug must be completely seated on to the connector and the
locking ring turned a quarter revolution clockwise. Failure to seat
the plug completely could cause corrosion and water damage to
both the enclosure and the sensor cable.
Notice how the sensor caps are slid between the connector and the
one above in FIGURE
. This will keep the caps out of the way
of the connector cover.
