Field Connect™ Soil Moisture Probe
NOTE: Improperly installed soil moisture probe degrades
soil moisture data. Complete tube-to-soil contact
is required for accurate measurements. Follow
installation guidelines provided in John Deere
Field Connect™ Installation Instructions.
Soil moisture probe components are calibrated
for data accuracy when manufactured. Do not
install sensor array in different housing. Data
accuracy will be affected. Contact your John
Deere dealer if soil moisture probe housing or
sensor array have been damaged.
To open Soil Moisture Probe housing, use a
30 mm socket on square nut on top of housing
cap. When closing soil moisture probe housing,
torque cap to 16.4 N·m (145 lb.-in.).
Store between -40 °C (-40 °F) and 70 °C (158
°F). Store soil moisture probe in a secure,
vertical, or horizontal position. Do not store
at an angle. See End of Year Best Practices
section for more information.
Soil moisture probe is a key component of system. The
soil moisture probe places a sensor array in the crop root
zone to facilitate direct, accurate measurement of soil
moisture at multiple depths. Sensor array is calibrated to
tube housing of soil moisture probe when it is installed.
Do not install a sensor array in a different housing.
Sensor array is a capacitance sensor; complete
tube-to-soil contact is required for accurate measurements.
