Now, press the tensiometer carefully with the
ceramic cup first into the borehole.
Vertical installation more than 20 cm:
Use a
standpipe
for secure positioning of the
tensiometer and for being able to retrieve it
later. Lead the tensiometer cable through the
standpipe and screw the standpipe onto the
thread on the upper end of the plastic case. The
standpipe remains in the soil with the
tensiometer.
Horizontally installation:
Dig up the soil up to the designated
measurement depth that the sensor can be
placed horizontally in the hole. Place the
tensiometer horizontally in the hole and push the
ceramic cup into the side wall of the hole. If
necessary, drill a hole in the side wall for the
tensiometer tip. Make sure that the tensiometer
has a secure position before filling the hole. Then
fill the hole so that there is no risk of subsidence
leading to damage to the Tensiometer.
