| Oregon Remote Thermo Sensor THC238 | Adapted Transmitter Housing |
The Station soil temperature reading is gathered by the Oregon Remote Thermo Sensor THC238 and although this model is weather-proof it was decided to ensure this by installing in a custom built housing made from a high-quality "plastic lunch box". We had also heard stories of the ground sensors and their respective cables being eaten by rodents so the cable was taken below ground in 15mm copper pipe with the actual sensor isolated from any thermal conductivity by using heavy duty plastic pipe for the final 10cm. The sensor itself is located 20cm below surface level.
