3. Plug Sensor In and
Check Sensor
Plug the sensor into the logger and
use the software SCAN function
to do a quick check of sensor
operation before backfilling.
1. Insert Sensor
Gently insert the probe into the
borehole until the shaft end is
flush with the soil surface.
If the borehole is too tight, remove
the sensor and insert the auger.
Rotate the auger one or two
revolutions to expand the borehole
a bit.
DO NOT use a hammer to drive in
the sensor!
Installation
TEROS 06 QUICK START
METER recommends conducting a system check with a logger prior
to installation.
Read the full TEROS06 User Manual at metergroup.com/teros06-
support. All products have a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
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.
