Detailed Installation Guideline
Prior to installation in the field, it is highly recommended to connect and activate the system in your
office or lab. This will help you to get familiar with the system and make sure that everything is
operational prior to placing it in the field.
In order to activate in your office / lab, perform the procedure below, skipping steps: 2a, 2b, 2c, 2e, and
3b. For your convenience, we marked these steps with “*”.
After verifying in the lab / office that the system is operational, you can go ahead and install the system
in the desired site – where you should perform all the steps without skipping any.
1. Connect the sensors to the Wireless Solar Tags:
a. Connect the soil moisture sensor cable to the SCC #1’s sensor connector (black)
Similarly, connect the air temperature and humidity sensor cable to the second SCC #2
2. Place the sensors in the desired locations:
a. * Stick the spokes of the soil humidity sensor into the soil its moisture you intend to
monitor. In case you desire to measure the soil moisture close to the plant’s roots it is
possible to bury the entire sensor, as seen below:
b. * Place the air temperature and humidity sensor at the desired location (can be distant
from the other SCC)
Soil Moisture Sensor placed
underground (to be covered with
soil)
Attention: One should be very careful while handling the SCC Wireless Solar Tag output ports
(black connector). The sensor connector pins are connected to the output of the internal
energy storage and have a potential of ~3.3V. Shortening the ports may discharge the
internal rechargeable battery very quickly, while damaging the internal circuitry
