Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the WET150, Delta-T’s robust and accurate sensor for
water content, electrical conductivity and temperature. To ensure you get the most
out of your sensor, we recommend the following steps:
1. Check you have all the equipment you need.
For a list of accessories and additional equipment see section “Parts and
Accessories”.
2. Check your sensor is properly configured for your intended use.
The WET150 is highly customisable to ensure maximum effectiveness in a
wide variety of applications. See section “Configuration”.
3. If using with the WET150 Meter:
See section “Use with a WET150 Meter”
4. If using in a permanent installation:
a. Check how to connect your sensor - See section “Connecting to Loggers
& Controllers”.
b. Check how to install your sensor See section “Installation in the Ground”.
5. Review the care and maintenance requirements of your sensor.
See section “Care and Maintenance”.
Care and Safety
•The pins of the WET150 are sharp.
Care must be taken and handling
precautions followed.
•Avoid touching the pins or exposing
them to other sources of static
charge, particularly when powered
up.
Keep the WET150 in its protective
package when not in use.
•Take care when attaching cables to ensure that the connectors are clean,
undamaged, and properly aligned before pushing the parts together.
•Do not pull the WET150 out of the soil by its cable.
•If you feel strong resistance when inserting the WET150 into soil, it is
likely you have encountered a stone. Stop pushing and re-insert at a new
location.
•WET150 is unsuitable for use in hard soils unless holes are pre-formed.
Rough handling may cause irreparable damage to the pins
