Suggested Uses
The AcuRite Liquid & Soil Temperature Sensor is designed for a wide range of applications and offers a variety of easy placement options. Below are some potential uses for your AcuRite Liquid & Soil Temperature Sensor with suggested placement.
| Liquid & Soil Temperature Sensor | Suggested Uses |
|---|---|
| Liquid & Soil Temperature Sensor Model 06011RM | • Preventing frozen pipes |
• Seeding, potting and gardening
• Pool, spa, pond or fountain temperature
• Aquariums, cages or tanks
• Monitoring refrigerator and/or freezer temperature
Placement Options
Monitor Pipe Temperature
Frozen pipes can burst, causing serious damage to a home or building.
Monitoring pipe temperature can alert you to take action before these
conditions occur.
Suggested Placement
Using zip ties (included), hose clamps* or electrical tape (optional; not included), affix the Wired Sensor to a pipe. See Figure (A). Cover the entire pipe and Wired Sensor with a layer of pipe insulation (not included) to isolate the pipe temperature from the ambient air temperature.
*Do not over-tighten hose clamps (optional; not included), as this may damage the Wired Sensor.
Monitor Soil Temperature
Soil temperature is an important factor in determining optimal planting
conditions. Monitor soil temperature throughout the year to ensure a
successful growing season.
Suggested Placement
Dig a small hole using a screwdriver, as shown in Figure (B), then insert the
Wired Sensor into the hole, as shown in Figure (C). Once inserted, refill the
hole with loose soil.
NOTE: Do not attempt to dig a hole using the Wired Sensor, or force it
into the soil as this may cause damage.
Monitor Liquid Temperature
Maintaining proper temperature ensures comfort and safety in pools or spas, or
ideal living conditions for aquatic creatures.
Suggested Placement
Mount the Monitor to a post or wall and submerge the Wired Sensor into the
water/liquid. The Wired Sensor should be mounted choosing the installation
method that best suits the available mounting point and so that ONLY the metal
portion of the sensor is submerged. See Figures (D) and (E).
NOTE: The Monitor should NOT be placed in an area where liquid could be
forced inside.
OPERATION
Using the Sensor
The Wired Sensor requires either the Room Monitor or the Outdoor Temperature
and Humidity Monitor to be operational. Compatible digital displays are
available for both Monitors.
The Outdoor Monitor requires a companion unit (ex. digital display). The Room Monitor features a built-in digital display. When using a Wired Sensor with the Room Monitor, the Monitor’s temperature and humidity readings move to the top of the display. The display automatically toggles between the Monitor’s temperature and humidity data, and the Wired Sensor’s readings appear in the middle of the display (pictured below).
