METER TEROS 06 Soil Temperature Profile Probe

Preparation

Confirm that TEROS 06 components are intact. For installation, gather the TEROS 06 Auger, a dead blow hammer, pvc casing or flexible conduit, a cable inserting tool, a spade, and a level.Determine the desired installation location, avoid roots and rocks, and mark the drilling depth (104 cm on the TEROS 06 auger. Drill a hole stepwise until the marker reaches the soil surface. Avoid interfering objects, such as roots or rocks. Dig a narrow trench 15 cm deep with a spade from the installation location to the data logger site to bury the sensor cable.

METER recommends conducting a system check with a logger prior to installation.Read the full TEROS 06 User Manual at www.metergroup.com/teros06-support. All products have a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
