Model HFP01 Soil Heat Flux Plate 

To  protect sensor cables from damage caused by rodents, 

Campbell Scientific recommends burying them inside of flexible 

electrical tubing.  

7.2  Wiring 

Wire functions are shown in FIGURE 

7-2

. TABLE 

7-1

 provides the data 

logger connections for both single-ended and differential measurements. 

Typically, the differential measurements are used.
