Installation
(continued)
NOTE: Burying the sensor cable will prevent thermal heat flux through the sensor cable
into the TEROS 06. Otherwise solar radiation may heat up the cable and may affect
reported temperature values.
Insert Sensor
Gently insert the probe into the borehole until the shaft end is flush with the
soil surface.
If the borehole is too tight, remove the sensor and insert the auger. Rotate the
auger one or two revolutions to expand the borehole a bit.
DO NOT use a hammer to drive in the sensor!
Secure and protect Cables
NOTE: Improperly protected cables can lead to severed cables or disconnected sensors.
Cabling issues can be caused by many factors such as rodent damage, driving over sensor
cables, tripping over cables, not leaving enough cable slack during installation, or poor
sensor wiring connections.
Install cables in conduit or plastic cladding when near the ground to avoid
rodent damage.
Lay the cables in the trench.
Gather and secure cables between the TEROS 06 and the data logger to the
mounting mast in one or more places.

Connect to Logger
Plug the sensor into a data logger.
Use the data logger to make sure the sensor is reading properly.
Verify that these readings are within expected ranges.
For more specific instructions on connecting to data loggers, refer to
.
NOTE: Electrical installations must comply with the safety and EMC requirements of the
country in which the system is to be used.
Backfill the Soil
Return soil to the hole and trench in the order it was removed. Pack the soil
back to its native bulk density.
