Installation
Surface installation and spot measurements
Clear away any stones. Pre-form holes in very hard
soils before insertion.
Push the SM200 into the soil until the rods are fully
inserted. Ensure good soil contact. Best results are
achieved by inserting the SM200 horizontally.
If you feel strong resistance when inserting the
SM200, you have probably hit a stone. Stop, and re-insert at a new location.
Installing at depth
Auger a 45mm diameter hole. ~10° to vertical is
recommended.
Fit insertion rod to SM200 - remember to pass the
cable through the insertion rod and fit the connector
first.
Push the SM200 into the soil until rods are fully
inserted. Ensure good soil contact.
Backfill around the insertion rod.
Alternatively
Dig a trench, and install horizontally (see
overview
diagram).
