Time-domain soil moisture sensors are widely used in soil and water conservation monitoring, soil hydrological monitoring, precision agricultural production, precision irrigation and other fields. During the use of the time-domain soil moisture sensor, our technicians will receive feedback from the user that the data is unstable during the measurement, and after investigation, it is found that the user does not adopt the correct installation method. Today, the technicians of the star instrument will give a detailed explanation on how to correctly install the time-domain soil moisture sensor. Choosing the right measuring point: The measurement point was chosen to ensure that the contact between the time-domain soil moisture sensor and the measured soil was as good as possible. Soil moisture sensors are affected by a wide range of effects near the surface, and readings can be affected by large voids or excessive soil compaction around any sensor, as well as cross-electromagnetic interference between sensors. In addition, the time-domain soil moisture sensor should not be installed near metal objects or debris. In addition, the sensor should not be installed on the soil surface at a depth of 5 cm, as such installation can easily sense the critical interface between the atmosphere and the surface, making the sensor measurement meaningless. We can install a time-domain soil moisture sensor using the following steps: Dig a hole first to ensure that the soil is in its original state in the vertical direction of the slope. At the installation depth, scrape off the vertical surface of some of the soil to level the undisturbed soil. Insert the sensor into the undisturbed soil installation depth, and insert it vertically in the appropriate direction. Until the entire sensing section is fully inserted (including the sensor tail). The probe of each sensor has been sharpened, we must pay attention to safety! After connecting the data collector for debugging, the pit of the backfill soil is backfilled after the reading is normal, and the bulk density of the backfill and the surrounding soil is consistent as much as possible. To bury deep soil, it is necessary to backfill the soil in layers, that is, layer by layer. Proper use of cables: After the installation of the time-domain soil moisture sensor, the cable length of the time-domain soil moisture sensor can be easily customized (5 meters of cable as standard) through the quick interface connecting to the sensor. In order to improve the stability of data transmission, it is recommended that the customer-defined cable length < 1km.
