ONSET MX2306 TEROS Verification Clip
Product Information
The TEROS Verification Clip (TEROS-CLIP) is a device used to verify the
positioning and functionality of various sensors, including MX2306, MX2307,
RXW TEROS-11, and RXW TEROS-12. The clip is designed to ensure accurate
readings and prevent personal
injury.
Features:
- Easy to slide onto the sensor prongs
- Durable construction for long-lasting use
- Arrow indicator for correct positioning
- Compatible with MX2306, MX2307, RXW TEROS-11, and RXW TEROS-12 sensors
Warning: Handle with care as the sensor needle points are extremely sharp and can puncture the skin. Risk of personal injury is present.
Positioning the Clip
-
For MX2306/MX2307 loggers:
Slide the verification clip onto the two prongs with the arrow pointing toward the sensor. -
For RXW TEROS sensors:
Slide the clip onto the two prongs farthest away from the sensor cable with the arrow pointing toward the sensor.
Note: Ensure the clip rests snugly against the sensor body for proper positioning.
Verifying Sensor Readings
- For RXW T11 and T12 sensors:
- Press the Connect button on the station to download the new logging interval from HOBOlink to the station.
- After the station disconnects from HOBOlink, check if it is logging. If not, press the Start button.
- Wait for a couple of minutes to allow the logger or station to log data at the new logging interval with the clip installed (additional waiting time may be required for slower logging intervals).
- Press the Connect button on the station to upload data to HOBOlink and go to the station page to view the current conditions.
- The readings for the soil moisture sensor should be between 0.332 and 0.363 m3/m3 for correct functioning.
- If the readings are within the desired range, remove the clip and adjust the logging interval as needed.
Note: If the readings are not within the desired range, double-check the
positioning of the clip as described in the “Positioning the Clip” section. If
the readings still do not meet the desired range, consider replacing the
sensor.
For more detailed instructions on using MX2306 and MX2307 loggers, refer to the MX2306 and MX2307 Manual.
For more detailed instructions on using RXW TEROS-11 sensor, refer to the RXW TEROS-11 Manual.
For more detailed instructions on using RXW TEROS-12 sensor, refer to the RXW TEROS-12 Manual.

Positioning the Clip
-
For MX2306/MX2307 loggers:
Slide the verification clip onto the two prongs with the arrow pointing toward the sensor.
For RXW TEROS sensors:
Slide the clip onto the two prongs farthest away from the sensor cable with the arrow pointing toward the sensor as shown.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury is present. Sensor needle points are extremely sharp and will puncture skin. Handle with care. -
Make sure the clip rests snugly against the sensor body as shown.
(The example shows the RXW TEROS Sensor.) -
For MX2306/MX2307 Loggers:
In the main HOBOconnect screen, view the current soil moisture reading. The readings should be in the following ranges:- If the logger is set for the Mineral Soil Type, the readings should be between 0.36 and 0.42 m3/m3.
- If the logger is set for the Soilless Soil Type, the readings should be between 0.45 and 0.51 m3/m3.
- If you do not remember what soil type the logger is set to, connect to the logger and check its configuration.
For RXW T11 and T12 sensors
- Go to the station page in HOBOlink®, select Module/Sensor Configuration, and select Module <1 or 2>: Wireless Sensors Logging from the left menu. Change the logging interval to 1 minute and click Save. If your station does not support that logging interval, then change it to the fastest interval allowed by the communication plan.
- Press the Connect button on the station so that the new logging interval set in HOBOlink is downloaded to the station.
- After the station disconnects from HOBOlink, make sure it is logging. If it is not, press the Start button.
- Wait for a couple of minutes to allow the logger or station to log data at the new logging interval with the clip installed (you may need to wait longer if using a slower logging interval on a station with RXW TEROS sensors).
- Press the Connect button on the station to upload data to HOBOlink and then go to the station page to view the current conditions.
- The readings for the soil moisture sensor should be between 0.332 and 0.363 m3/m3. If the readings are within that range, the sensor is functioning correctly. Remove the clip and change the logging interval as needed.
If the readings are not within that range, double-check the positioning of the clip as described in Positioning the Clip. If the readings are still not within the desired range, then the sensor may need to be replaced.
