mounted, use the adjustment screws to level the sensor
so that the bubble is centered on the level indicator.
Mount the sensor on a 1” to 1¼” mast or pipe using the u-
bolt provided.
Position the sensor in an appropriate area that monitors
the plant conditions. Make sure the sensor is not being
shadowed or blocked by another external sensor.
Contact your cooperative extension agricultural agent for
further suggestions on field placement.
Inspect the sensors frequently to make certain the
