The leaf wetness sensor can be tied to a branch of the plant or to the
station holder (next to the rain gauge) slightly inclined with the filter
paper looking up. Mount it in a position that allows the sensor to pick
up early rain and to stay wet in the shade.
The soil moisture and temperature sensors have to be properly in-
stalled in the ground.
Note:
12 sensors can be connected directly to the iMETOS board; an ex-
tended set of sensors (up to 600) can be connected via RadioNodes or
cable chain nodes. There is a connector on the top of the motherboard
for the radio access point. An alternative use of this connector is to
read up to two soil moisture profile probes. For detailed info about the
installation of sensors refer to
