| five,Optional waveguide and waveguide connectors | |||||||||
| 6002F1Waveguide connector |  | ||||||||
The 6002F1 waveguide connector (0.71 kgs) included in the system provides a robust and flexible method for inserting waveguides into the soil.Rotate the multi-joint handle to open and lock the waveguide on the connector, so that the waveguide can be converted quickly and easily.It allows for rapid multi-channel measurements depending on the different lengths of the waveguide.The waveguide may also be permanently installed in the soil to facilitate periodic measurements at the same location only by simply moving from the sensor to the waveguide without disturbing the soil due to repeated insertion of the sensor.The calibration block can be used to help maintain proper waveguide space during installation and is especially useful when inserting long waveguides.The lengths of the waveguides are arranged in order from 15 cm to 70 cm. | |||||||||
