You will need the following material:
- 4 cable ties (supplied with the sensor)
Here are the steps to follow:
-
Choose your location.
Choose an area that is representative of your plot: soil, vegetation, irrigation zone.
-
Position your sensor in an area that has a representative plant cover.
When using the RIMpro model, position the sensor horizontally and away from the plant canopy.
- Pick up the sensor's serial number before you attach it, as you'll need it to connect it to the Weenat-App.
- Pass the cable ties through the loops at the back of the electronic box.
- Attach the electronic box to a fence post using 2 cable ties.
- Slide the other 2 cable ties into the loops of the sensor's metallic support.
-
Secure the sensor'smetallic support to the fence post using the cable ties.
-
Screw the antenna on the box.
-
Log in to the Weenat-App.
Add the sensor to the App by clicking on the + (located in the top right corner of your screen) then on A sensor. Add the tensiometer's serial number.

Link a sensor to your plot by following the steps in this article 👉How to link a sensor to my plot?
The synchronisation of the data between the sensor and the app can take up to 15 minutes, just in time for a coffee break 😉.
