2.4.9.2 Site Installation
Water content 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 water content measurement site and route
the sensor cable through the conduit. Bury the end of the sensor so its rod ends
are in contact with the soil surface to be measured. See manual for complete
instructions.
This sensor plugs into the enclosure connector marked or “TEMP CS616”.
The cable used with the water content reflectometer sensor is
waterproof but not armored. Route cable through conduit if
rocky soils or rodents are present.
