Optimization of the measurement
Special importance needs to be taken prior to the installation:
•
For the measurement the antennas need to be completely inserted into the soil.
•
Gaps between antenna and soil must be avoided (for example by moving the sensor
subsequent to the installation).
•
The antennas have to be parallel and undamaged. The correct position of the
antennas to each other is crucial for the accuracy of the measurement results.
•
Be careful while pushing the antennas into the soil. In case of a high penetration
resistance avoid the use of more force but rather try to install the probe again at
another spot. For very rigid soil pre-drilling is advised.
•
When installed, the sensor must not be moved. By doing that, the antennas could be
twisted or bend leading to inaccurate measurement values and damage of the
antennas.
•
In order to measure the soil temperature accurately, the temperature sensor has to
be in contact with the soil for at least 6 minutes.
