9. Continue inserting the probe into the ground with gentle blows of the sledgehammer, whilst holding

the top of the probe steady with one hand, using the EasyAG 80 dolly, until the base of the top cap is
level with the ground. This will place the top sensor at 10 cm (3.9 inches) below the ground surface.
Remove the EasyAG 80 dolly.













Step 6 – Fitting the top cap lid

1. Carefully slide the probe into the access tube, ensuring the top of the probe seats correctly into the

grooves in the top cap. Connect the cable to the green phoenix connector on the top of the probe.
Refer to the EasyAG Hardware Manual for wiring instructions for the specific probe interface.

2. Pull the excess cable back through the cable gland. The outer sheath of the cable should be

trimmed back as far as the point where the cable enters the inside of the top cap. Apply silicone
around the wires of the cable at the end of the outer sheath, to prevent moisture from traveling along
the cable into the inside of the top cap.
