6.4.0 Soil Temperature Sensor (Optional)

Soil temperature sensors do NOT have an armored outer jacket. The

jacket is waterproof but NOT cut proof. The recommended method is to

bury conduit from the weather station to the soil temperature site and

route the sensor cable through the conduit. Bury the end of the sensor so

it is in contact with the soil surface to be measured. See manual for

complete instructions.

This sensor could be plugged into one of three possible connectors on the

back of the WS-PRO2 station. Check with the Rain Bird GSP group or

Campbell Scientific for correct station connection.

NOTE - The cable used with the soil temperature sensor is

waterproof but not armored. Route cable through conduit if rocky

soils or rodents are present.

6.5.0 Sensor Schematics

Schematics of WS-PRO2 sensors and associated connectors are

provided in Figures 38, 39, 40 and 41 for help in troubleshooting.

Knowledge of the schematics is not necessary for routine installation and

maintenance. Each connector has a small molded dot by pin 1. The

figures in this section show the pinned connectors on the sensor cables.

Socketed connectors on the back of the enclosure are the mirror image of

these figures.
