Installing the sensor
Hard soil
If the soil is hard and you experience so much resistance
that the sensor starts vibrating, use a long drill bit to pre-
drill a hole for the sensor. After you have pre-drilled the
hole, you can push/hammer the sensor into the hole.
Using a drill
Drill a straight hole
directly into the soil.
Rotate the drill slowly to
avoid the wobbly effect
of the long thin drill.
Hammer or push the
probe as straight as
possible in the created
hole. If the probe is
accidentally pushed
sideways (creating
movement or gaps in the
soil) remove the probe
and drill a new hole.
