pH Detector Assembly and Set-up
OVERVIEW:
The pH Detector collects a geo-referenced pH reading each time the pH electrode is inserted into
the soil. Here’s how it works: 1) the operator pushes the probe chamber into the soil with his foot,
2) then pushes down on the hand lever, activating a door that moves soil and creates an opening
for the measurement, 3) continues to push down on the hand lever to insert the pH electrode
holder, 4) the pH electrode measures the soil at the bottom of the opening, and when complete, 5)
the operator raises the probe handle, the electronics record the data and wash the electrode.
