The FieldScout TDR meter will function properly under normal
conditions experienced in field use. The sensor block is sealed
and will not be damaged by immersion in water. The display is
not waterproof. The meter should not be used during heavy rain-
fall or left exposed during irrigation events. If the display does get
wet, it should be dried out immediately.
Follow these tips to prolong the life of the device:
- Store in a cool and dry place when not in use.
- Keep the meter and probe rods clean and dry in between uses.
- Remove the batteries if not used for an extended period of time
(ie: between seasons).
Battery life
If the battery level is low or a bat-
tery is inserted incorrectly, the
low battery icon appears on the
screen and the display will power
off.
Battery life is affected by the ena-
bled features and frequency of
use. If not needed, the backlight can be disabled or set to AUTO
mode (page 10) which allows enough time to see new measure-
ments and then will power down the backlight to conserve the
battery life.
