Installation
(continued)
Backfill the Hole
Return soil to the hole, packing the soil back to its native bulk density.
Do not hit the ferrite core as this could potentially pull the sensor out of the soil.
Connecting
Connect to Data 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
.
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.
Gather and secure cables between the TEROS 11/12 and the data logger to the
mounting mast in one or more places.
