2.3 Operation
6WARNING • Soil pins are extremely sharp and should be
handled with care.
6CAUTION
• Never use a tool, your foot or other device to
press the product into the pitch, simply press
with your hand. If you encounter resistance
remove the TurfPod and retry in a different
position.
• Do not force the product into overly hard
pitch/soil, this may damage the sensor pins.
• Do not submerge the product into water,
always ensure that the ventilation holes on
the bottom are facing down towards the pitch
when installed.
NOTICE
• Always install the product in an upright
position as level as possible to insure proper
light readings.
• GPS signals can take up to 60 minutes to
reach optimal accuracy, we advise that once
installed you do not move the product too
frequently. This will cause less accurate
location reporting and also impact battery life.
• Never leave the product in a fixed location for
more than 24 hours, if outdoor temperatures
are over 20 degrees they should be moved
>10cm every 12 hours or so to maintain
optimal pitch conditions and not damage the
sample area.
• Do not tamper with the product's SIM card for
any reason.
• Make sure the flag pole is facing away from
the sun to insure no shadows can impact the
PAR readings.
