Soil moisture sensors are widely used in scientific experiments, soil and water conservation monitoring, soil hydrology monitoring, fine agricultural production, precision irrigation and other fields. When we are ready to use soil moisture sensors, it is important to know how to install them to ensure the accuracy of data collection. Simply dig a hole and bury the soil moisture sensor in it? The installation of a soil moisture sensor is far from simple. The soil moisture sensor must be in full contact with the soil to be measured. When the soil moisture sensor is selected for the measurement point, it is important to ensure that the contact between the sensor and the measured soil is as good as possible. Because near the surface of the soil moisture sensor is a large area of influence, large voids or excessive soil compaction around the soil moisture sensor as well as cross electromagnetic interference between soil moisture sensors can affect the readings, not to mention that the soil moisture sensor should not be installed near metal objects or debris. In addition soil moisture sensors should not be mounted on the surface of the soil at a depth of 5 cm, it is easy to sense the critical surface of the atmosphere and the surface, which is pointless. After installing the soil moisture sensor, customization of the cable length for field application of the soil moisture sensor can be easily achieved by connecting the quick connector of the soil moisture sensor (5 m cable as standard). In order to improve the stability of data transmission, it is recommended that the customer customizes the cable length <1km.
