The temperature probe for measuring the temperature on the surface of the soil is installed at the desired height parallel to the soil surface using a ground spike. The ground spike also has a roof to protect the temperature sensor from direct sunshine, wind and mechanical influences. The ground spike, protective roof and sensor shaft are made from stainless steel. The system can be supplied with PT 100 or PT 1000 sensor element. The standard cable length is 5 m, but customised lengths can be produced on request.
