Setup: Installing your Zynect Sensor
30. All Zynect Sensors are IP67 waterproof and dustproof, built to be durable in any
environment.
31. Thermote and Thermote X
a. Installation will vary depending on how you plan to use your Thermote/Thermote
X. Keep in mind that placing the enclosure in extreme heat or cold will drain the
battery faster. We recommend only placing the temperature probe in the
environment you wish to monitor and securing the enclosure outside of your
equipment.
32. Soilmote
a. Installation will vary depending on how you plan to use the Soilmote. Place the
entire soil probe
(green part) in the soil with the red part sticking out above the
soil.
b. Place it in the center of the sample. The green sensor should have at least two
inches of soil on all sides. Placing the sensor on the side or bottom of a container
will produce inaccurate readings.
c. Note that the unit measures volumetric water content and is affected by soil
compaction. Soil which is loose will measure a different soil moisture level to the
same soil when compacted.
Setup: Accessing your Data and Setting Custom Alerts
