7. Maintenance

The 229 does not require maintenance after it is installed in the soil. The
datalogger, current excitation module, and multiplexer, if used, should be kept
in a weatherproof enclosure. Periodic replacement of the desiccant in the
enclosure is required to keep the electronics dry and free of corrosion.
