4.17 237 LEAF WETNESS SENSOR
Mounting and orientation considerations are left
to the user to determine. Consult the 237
manual for preparation and other information.
Normally, the sensor is mounted away from the
meteorological tower in or near a plant canopy.

1. Soak the sensor end of the 257 in irrigation
water for 12 to 14 hours. Allow the sensor
to dry for 1 to 2 days after soaking and
repeat the soak/dry cycle twice to improve
sensor response. Always install a wet
sensor.
2. Install the sensor into soil representative of
the field conditions you wish to monitor.
Avoid high or low spots. Placement south
of the weather station mast (northern
hemisphere) will avoid the effects of the
mast shade. Installation in the root zone is
best if measurements are used for irrigation
purposes.
3. The 257 should be removed from the soil
prior to harvest or cultivation operations to
avoid damaging the sensor or sensor cable.
Remove when soil is moist.
