interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur

in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try

to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorientation or relocation of the receiving antenna.

Connection of the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver

is connected.

Consultation with the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.

EMC approvals

The Drill & Drop system complies with the following specifications;

FCC Part 15 Subpart B

Radio Frequency Devices –Unintentional Radiators

CISPR 11:2010 Ed 5.1

Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) radio-frequency equipment –Electromagnetic

disturbance characteristics –Limits and methods of measurement

IEC 6132601:2012 Ed 2

Electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use –EMC requirements. Part 1:

General requirements.

RoHS

EN 50581:2012

Technical documentation for the assessment of electrical and electronic products with respect to

the restriction of hazardous substances.

Marking

The above EMC approvals allow the product to be marked CE, C-tick and FCC.

Modifications

Any modifications to any part of the equipment or to any peripherals may void the EMC compliance of

the equipment.

Sentek Drill & Drop Probe Manual

The Drill & Drop Probe

This manual should be used in combination with the appropriate Sentek Hardware manual for which

the probe is configured i.e. Sentek MULTI, Sentek PLUS, Sentek SDI-12 or RS232/485Modbus.

The Drill & Drop probe complements the Sentek EnviroSCAN probe and Sentek EasyAG probe. It

comes in two sensor configurations of 6 sensors or 12 sensors.

The probe consists of two components and associated cables:

Interface box

The Interface box contains a Sentek interface device preconfigured and normalised to match the probe

rod configuration and the communications option.

Sentek Drill & Drop Probe Manual

There are five communication options for the encapsulated interface box:

The Interface box has two non-removable cables (with non-removable cable glands)

It also has weather proof connector for the Drill & Drop Probe Programming Cable.

Probe

The sensors and cable are encapsulated inside the probe rod:

6 or 12 moisture sensors

6 or 12 moisture and salinity sensors

Every sensor has an associated temperature sensor

Sensors are spaced at 10cm intervals

Probe length 60 cm (24 inches) or 120 cm (48 inches)

The probe interface is preconfigured to start sensors at depth 5cm

Cables

Drill & Drop Probe Programming Cable (for Probe Configuration Utility), USB to Interface box

connector (optional)

Non-removable 1m cable with ends encapsulated in interface box and in probe rod

Cable encapsulated at interface box, supplied with appropriate Sentek connector or bare

wires,.Cable length nominally 5m (see section Wiring the Probe Cable),

Sentek Solo has its cable pre-wired into the Solo Head Unit.

Custom cable lengths may be available with a special order.

Sentek Probe Configuration Utility

Warning!

Probes are supplied pre-normalised. Modifying information stored in the Drill & Drop probe interface

may result in incorrect volumetric water content (mm/10cm) readings being reported to the controlling

device.

The Probe Configuration Utility (PConfig) is provided to configure probe interfaces with depth

location, normalization values (air and water counts) and calibration information for each sensor

installed on the probe. This information is stored in non-volatile memory, and is used to produce the

calculated value (value that has been processed via the interfaces calibration formula) from each sensor

on the probe.

It is not necessary to configure the sensors or normalise Drill & Drop probes as they are sold fully

preconfigured and normalised. An optional Drill & Drop Pconfig cable is available if required.

Sentek Drill & Drop Probe Manual

The sampling interval, Web URL address etc. in the Interface box must be setup during commissioning

the probe.

See the Probe Configuration Utility manual or help for further information.

Setting the SDI-12 Address

Drill & Drop SDI-12 probes are preconfigured to SDI-12 address 0.

If multiple probes are on the one SDI-12 bus it will be necessary to use either your SDI-12 logger or

PConfig to change the SDI-12 address of the probe in the range "0" to "9", "A" to "Z" and "a" to "z".

About the SDI-12 Communication

See the Sentek SDI-12 Series II Probe Interface Manual for a description of SDI-12 communication to

a Sentek probe.

Sentek Drill & Drop Probe Manual

Installation and setup of the Drill & Drop probe

Physical installation at the desired field location is described in the Drill & Drop Installation Manual.

See the appropriate Sentek PLUS, Sentek SOLO or Sentek MULTI hardware manual for full setup

description.

1. Plug the Interface to DTU cable into the probe connector on the DTU (or third part logger).

2. Plug the DTU front panel PConfig cable into your computer

For SDI-12 or Modbus: Plug the Drill & Drop PConfig cable to the Interface box and to your

Computer.

3. Open PConfig connection to the probe and set required parameters in the interface:

Note: It is not necessary to Auto-detect sensors, set depths or normalise sensors

Synchronise Interface clock to computer clock

Enter Upload URL

Sample interval (preconfigured to 15 minutes)

Sample upload count (preconfigured to 12, for upload every 3 hours)

Change network tab Initialisation setting if your SIM card is configured to use a PIN

Ensure you have a SIM card in the DTU modem

4. Verify the probe is operational by performing a Modem Test, expecting a last response of 040

Success.

Sentek Drill & Drop Probe Manual

Wiring the Probe Cable

Most Drill & Drop probes are pre-configured with the appropriate firmware and cable plug for Sentek

PLUS, Sentek SOLO, Sentek MULTI.

For probes that need to be wired, there are three cable configurations. The "Type" label on the Drill &

Drop Interface box identifies which type of probe is relevant.

Caution:

Damage to the Drill & Drop cable may result in moisture entering the cable, resulting in corrosion and

device failure.

SDI-12 Probe

An SDI-12 probe require connection to a third-party logger, consequently no cable connector can be

specified.

Sentek MULTI and Modbus RS485 probes

The Sentek MULTI DTU has a built in connector which uses a four pin "Buccaneer" plug. If required

the probe end connector can be ordered as Sentek Part number:

04086 Sentek MULTI, Probe Cable Connector

For detailed wiring steps, see section Sentek MULTI Probe Cable Connector in the Sentek MULTI Hardware

Manual.

A Modbus RS485 probe require connection to a third-party logger, consequently no cable connector

connector can be ordered as Sentek Part number:

61249 Water tight connector, Sentek PLUS, Probe end

For detailed wiring steps, see section C. Install EnviroSCAN Flat Cap probe (common to all probe types)

in the Sentek PLUS Hardware Manual.

A Modbus RS232 probe require connection to a third-party logger, consequently no cable connector

can be specified.
