The External Temperature Sensor includes a 10 foot cable.
Install your External Temperature Sensor following the
guidelines below:
•
To monitor soil temperature, bury the sensor at a
determined depth.
•
To monitor water temperature, drop the sensor into the
water to the desired depth.
•
If the cable runs along the ground, use metal or plastic
conduit to protect the cable from rodents.
•
Attach the cable to the mounting mast below the
Weather Tracker using the wire tie supplied. This will
ensure that the sensor cable does not become
unplugged by pests or strong winds.
If you have questions on sensor placement for your
particular purpose and/or geological area, contact your
cooperative extension agricultural agent for further
suggestions on field placement.
Inspect the sensors frequently to make certain that the
sensors have not been damaged and are clear of
obstructions.
