1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Ecomatik surface temperature sensor (T-Surface). The T-
Surface is a robust and highly precise sensor, for the continuous measurement of surface
temperature (e.g. tree bark).
This manual is written to help you install and operate your T-Surface sensor without diffi-
culty 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 fu-
ture.
The T-Surface is the sensor part of the measuring system. This means that the T-Surface
sensor must be installed into the soil or underwater, and connected to a data logger for
continuous data recording. The T-Surface sensor is compatible with a range of available
data loggers.
2. Product Description
As shown below, a standard version of the T-Surface sensor consists of:
- 1x Sensor with 5 m cable. The cable length can be extended up to max. 50 m.
- 1x piece UV-resistant rubber cord, for pull release fixation of the sensor cable.

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.
