TEMPERATURE SENSOR
RT-1/ECT QUICK START
Preparation
Confirm that the sensor components are intact. The sensor is completely
waterproof, submersible, and designed for continuous
outdoor use. Contact Customer Support for more information.
The RT-1 and the ECT sensors are the same sensors that perform different
measurements. The RT-1 measures soil temperature,
and the ECT is paired with a radiation shield to measure the air temperature.
Set up and test the system (sensors and reader or data logger) in a lab or office. Ensure the reader or data logger is using up-to-date firmware and software. Verify all sensors read within expected ranges (metergroup.com/rt1-support; metergroup.com/ etc- support).
All products have a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
ATTENTION
For best results, use the latest versions of METER software and firmware for
the computer or mobile device, products, and sensors. Please use the software
Help menu to find updates. Consult the sensor user manual for more
troubleshooting tips.
