Direct burial of remote sensor
Remote sensor is protected to IP68/NEMA 6P and can be buried.
The use of pea gravel, at least 300 mm (12 inches) all around sensor, is mandatory to provide
some drainage and to prevent dirt from solidifying on sensor.
It also helps to locate the sensor should excavation be necessary. Before covering pea gravel
with earth, use electrical cable identification tape above gravel.
Run remote sensor cable through a plastic conduit of minimum 50 mm (2 inches).
