Care and Safety
The rods of the SM150T are sharp in
order to ease insertion. Care must be
taken and handling precautions
followed.
Avoid touching the rods or exposing
them to other sources of static charge,
particularly when powered up.
Keep the SM150T in its protective tube when not in use.
Take care when attaching cables to ensure that the connectors are clean,
undamaged and properly aligned
before
pushing the parts together.
Do not pull the SM150T out of the soil by its cable.
If you feel strong resistance when inserting the SM150T into soil, it is likely
you have encountered a stone. Stop pushing and re-insert at a new location.
Do not touch the pins, particularly when the
sensor is attached to a cable. An electrostatic
discharge from your body can typically cause a
temporary -10mV offset in sensor readings for
up to one hour. At worse it may permanently
damage the sensor.
To prevent personal injury and damage to the
probe always store and transport the SM150 in
this protective tube
