The RT-1 and the ECT sensors are the same sensors that perform different measurements. The RT-1 measures soil temperature,and the ECT is paired with a radiation shield to measure the air temperature.
Set up and test the system (sensors and reader or data logger) in a lab or office. Ensure the reader or data logger is using up-to-date firmware and software. Verify all sensors read within expected ranges (metergroup.com/rt1-support; metergroup.com/ etc- support).
