7. Installation
7.1 Siting
Install the CS230/CS231 directly in the medium that is to be measured. The
types of medium that can be measured are varied, including soils, roadbeds,
and water. To make the most representative measurement, it is important that
consistent contact be made between the temperature profiler and the medium.
The location of the temperature profiler should be representative of the
intended application. Typically, the first measurement point in the rigid
assembly should have a minimum burial depth of 20 cm. This helps protect the
sensor from damage in roadbed applications, and helps secure the sensor
against frost heaving. Use the external probes for measurements at shallower
depths. The external probes are sheathed in a stainless-steel housing to protect
them against possible damage.
The installation depth of the rigid assembly is referenced at the first
measurement point in the assembly (shown in FIGURE
, Internal Sensor
Position #4). This information needs be addressed as part of the sensor
configuration process.
