3. Check Sensor and
ProtectCables
Plug the sensor into the data
logger and use the SCAN function
in the software to do a quick
check of sensor operation
beforebackfilling.
Secure and protect cables with
PVC casing or flexible conduit and
backfill the trench or hole.
1. Insert Sensor
Auger a hole at the proper angle
with the auger. Auger to the
desired depth in steps to avoid
soil compaction.
Insert the TEROS 32 into the
borehole firmly, but carefully. Do
not touch the ceramic cup.
Installation
TEROS 32 QUICK START
Preparation
Confirm TEROS 32 components are intact. For installation, gather
the tensiometer auger, a dead blow hammer, a refilling syringe
(purchased separately), and deionized water.
Determine the desired installation angle and calculate the
corresponding installation depth.
METER recommends conducting a system check with a logger prior
to installation.
NOTE: A barometric reference sensor is needed as part of the system
configuration to accurately measure soil water potential.

the refilling hose back onto the
refillingtube.
