1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Ecomatik Soil Temperature (T-Soil). The T-Soil sensor is a
robust and highly precise soil probe for the continuous measurements of soil, or water
temperature.
This manual is written to help you install and operate your T-Soil sensor without difficulty
and to achieve the most desirable results. Please read it carefully before installing the
sensor, and refer back to it if you should have any difficulty with the sensor in the future.
The T-Soil is the sensor part of the measuring system. This means that the T-Soil sensor
must be installed into the soil or underwater, and connected to a data logger for continu-
ous data recording. The T-Soil sensor is compatible with a range of available data loggers.
2. Product Description
As shown below, a standard version of the T-Soil sensor consists of:
- 1x Sensor with pluggable 5 m cable. The cable length can be extended up to max. 50 m.
T-Soil sensor
The sensor can be ordered in standard configuration, or with cable extension:

- Optional extensions instead of the standard 5 m length are 10 m, 15 m, 20m
3. Installation & Safety Information
Important!
Please avoid any tension between the sensor, sensor cable and data logger. The installa-
tion must be strain relieved on both sides, sensor and data logger. Pay attention to con-
nect the sensor wires correctly to the data logger. Wrong connections will provide wrong
readings.
Installation
1. Dig a small hole in the ground to the desired installation depth of the sensor.
2. Insert the sensor into the installation hole and carefully insert the metal tip 1-2 cm into
the wall at the bottom of the installation hole.
