INSTALLATION

 Generally, there are two methods for field installation: excavation section and ground drilling.

Excavation profile: excavate a soil profile where sensors need to be buried, determine the location and depth of sensors need to be buried on the profile, use a small-scale soil sampler with the same (or slightly larger) outer diameter as the sensor from the bottom to the top, and excavate about 10-20cm soil horizontally Hole, insert the sensor horizontally until the bottom of the hole, and then fill with soil to compact, close to ensure that the electrode section of the sensor is in close contact with the soil. It is better to lead the sensor wire out of the vertical section to the ground at a certain distance, so as to avoid rain water directly remaining around the sensor along the wire to affect the test results. After the sensor is buried, the section pit shall be backfilled and compacted according to the original soil layer order and unit weight, and the ground cover shall be the same as the original as far as possible;;

Ground drilling: at the place where the sensor needs to be installed, use a soil sampler (Luoyang shovel, twist soil drill, etc.) to drill a soil hole from the ground down to a predetermined depth, use a fine rod with an opening at one end to support the sensor and insert it to the bottom of the hole, make it closely contact with the soil, take out the fine rod, and then backfill and compact in layers. In the same way, soil moisture sensor can be buried in the same way to obtain the dynamic change data of water and salt;
