Hammer for guide and sensor RXW-GP3 & 6
The hammer for guide and sensor RXW-GP3 & 6 is a tool that allows deploy quickly and easily soil moisture sensors HOBOnet RXW-GP3 & 6 to different depths using pilot rods, but it is important to note that it should be used with the guide PILOT-RODx, which is sold separately.
This is hammer is a tool that simplifies and accelerates the process of deployment of the soil moisture sensors HOBOnet at different depths.
It allows to create the necessary openings in the ground to place the sensors and obtain accurate information about the humidity of the soil at various strata.
The hammer for guide and sensor RXW-GP3 & 6 hOBO is a tool used in combination with a pilot rod (PILOT-RODx) not provided to facilitate deployment of HOBOnet soil moisture sensors (RXW-GPX-XXX models) to different depths in the ground.
Operation:
- Pilot stem (PILOT-RODx) This rod is designed to be inserted into the ground where the moisture sensor is to be placed.
The stem has a suitable diameter to house the sensor and protect it during insertion.
- Slide-Hammer: The sliding hammer, also called "slide-hammer", is a tool that complements the pilot rod.
It is used to sink the pilot rod into the ground.
The hammer has a weight and one appropriate design which create the necessary force to insert the rod into the ground without damaging the moisture sensor.
- Deployment of Sensors: Once the pilot rod is pushed into the soil at the desired depth using the slide-hammer, it creates a space in the ground where the moisture sensor will be placed.
The pilot rod is therefore used to prepare the path for the sensor.
- Soil Profile: Inserting the soil moisture sensor at different depths creates a soil moisture profile on different strata.
This can provide important information on the distribution of moisture in the soil at different depths, which is particularly useful for the irrigation managementagriculture environmental studies, etc.
