TEROS 06

Table 1  Installation (continued)

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 

Section 2.3

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.
