Operating Manual
Installing the EC-5
1. The EC-5’s installation is especially easy to manage. After digging a sufficiently deep
hole for the sensor, insert the brackets into unspoiled soil at the bottom or side of the
hole.
The sensor needs to be entirely covered, including the rubber over molding.
If it’s too difficult to insert the sensor, try to loosen the ground. DO NOT drive the
sensor into the soil by force, as this may cause irreparable damage.
2. Carefully refill the hole. Try to prevent the rubber-coating segment from being bent
as this may cause damage.
Position of the sensor
The sensor can be operated in any position, but the installation at right angles to the
surface is preferable in order not to impede infiltration.
Removing the sensor
NEVER pull the sensor’s cable if to remove it from the ground. This could damage the
device.
