2. Insert the auger into each
opening and drill a hole. Drill as
far as the auger will go. Rotate
the auger while pulling it out of
the sample. Then, you will have
2 holes in the sample, each with
the proper depth.
With a pen make a mark on the
side of the sampling ring where
the deeper hole is. Then you
know the correct position when
placing the
sensor unit.
