PHYTOS 31 QUICK START

Preparation
Confirm that PHYTOS 31 components are intact. For installation, gather a mounting post and either zip ties or 4-40 bolts.
Read the full PHYTOS 31 User Manual at metergroup.com/phytos31support. All products have a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

Connecting
Plug into Data Aquisition System
Connect the stereo plug connector into any METER data logger and configure it to read the PHYTOS 31 (refer to the PHYTOS 31 User Manual). Select a nonzero measurement interval to ensure data are being logged. To connect to a non-METER data logger, see the PHYTOS 31 User Manual.

Verify Readings
Use the SCAN function in the software to show a list of readings. A dry sensor should have raw counts between 430-445 counts.

ATTENTION
For best results, use the latest versions of METER software and firmware for the computer or mobile device, products, and sensors. Please use the software Help menu to find updates. Consult the sensor user manual for more troubleshooting tips.

Installation
1. Install Sensor to Mounting Post
Install the mounting post. With the PHYTOS 31 electrode traces facing up, thread zip ties or 4-40 bolts through the mounting holes on the sensor body and attach them to the mounting apparatus.
NOTE: Wetness duration is affected by the mounting angle. Mount the sensor at the appropriate angle for the desired measurement.

2. Plug Sensor In and Configure Logger
Plug the sensor into the data logger. Use data logger software to apply appropriate settings to the sensors plugged into each data logger port.
