1.1 Description EM500-SMT is an outdoor environment monitoring sensor mainly used to measure soil status. EM500-SMT device is battery powered and designed for multiple mounting ways. It is equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) and can easily be configured by a smartphone or a PC software. Sensor data are transmitted in real-time using standard LoRaWAN protocol. LoRaWAN enables encrypted radio transmissions over long distance while consuming very little power. The user can obtain sensor data and view the trend of data change through Ursalink Cloud or thr ough the user's own Network...

Put the motherboard back and restore the wires accordingly (see the label on the everything in its due position. motherboard or following picture). 4. Sensor Installation 4.1 Soil Sensor Installation The sensor can be oriented in any direction. However, orienting the flat side perpendicular to the surface of the soil will minimize effects on downward water movement. There are two basic methods to accomplish a high-quality installation. 4.1.1 Horizontal Installation 1. Excavate a hole or trench a few centimeters deeper than...

EM500-SMT User Guide 4. Backfill the trench taking care to pack the soil back to natural bulk density around the sensor body. 4.1.2 Vertical Installation 1. Drill a 3-in hole to the depth at which the sensor is to be installed. 2. Insert the sensor into the undisturbed soil at the bottom of the drilled hole using a hand or any other implement that will guide the sensor into the soil at the bottom of the hole. 3. After inserting the sensor, backfill the hole, and take care to pack the soil back to natural bulk density while not damaging the overmolding of the sensor and the sensor cable in...

4.2 EM500 Installation Ensure the location of EM500 is within the communication range of LoRaWAN gateway. 4.2.1 Wall Mounting 1. Attach the mounting bracket to the wall and drill. (Around 16mm) Note: The connecting line of two holes must be a horizontal line. 2. Mount the device on the wall. 4.2.2 Pole Mounting 1. Loosen the hose clamp by turning the locking mechanism counter-clockwise. 2. Straighten out the hose clamp and slide it through the rectangular holes in the mounting bracket, wrap the hose clamp around the pole. 3. Use a screwdriver to tighten the locking mechanism by turning it...
