Correct placement of leak, level, flow, soil, and temperature kits drives data quality. This installer-focused guide covers mounting, gateway coverage, and commissioning checks.

  • Leak ropes: run along the lowest expected water path, not across doorways.
  • Spot leak probes: place in bunds, drip trays, and pump skids.
  • Submersible level: confirm cable length and media compatibility before install.
  • Pipe flow/pressure: isolate the line, use the specified fittings, and zero after fill.
  • Soil moisture/EC: install at root depth; keep the node above splash and mower height.
  • Food-grade needle probes: clean per HACCP SOP; do not leave probes unattended in ovens.
