TEROS 10
Table 1 Installation (continued)
Connecting
(continued)
Install cables in conduit or plastic cladding when near the ground to avoid
rodent damage.
Relieve strain on the connections and prevent loose cabling from being
inadvertently snagged by gathering and securing the cables between the
TEROS 10 and the data acquisition device to the mounting mast in one or more
places.
Tie excess vertical cable to the data logger mast to ensure cable weight does
not cause sensor to unplug.
