    Temperature Note : the temperature sensor in the WET150 is internal to the white body, so it takes over a minute to equilibrate. This can potentially affect the EC measurement accuracy as the conductivity of typical plant nutrients changes by ~2% per °C.
  • Page 5 Each SDI-12 sensor has an “address”, a 1-character code that it uses to recognise when to respond to commands sent over a network of sensors. The WET150 Meter interrogates the connected sensor and automatically uses that address when taking readings. It can also be used to set sensor addresses prior to their installation in a network.
  • Page 6 The WET150 Meter can conveniently help locate faults. The WET150 Meter can only take and display readings from WET150 sensors, however it can display the address of most attached SDI-12 sensor with a compatible power requirement*.
