Setting up a FullStop

The FullStop Wetting Front Detector tells you how deep water moves into the soil during and shortly after irrigation. It also captures a soil water solution sample which can be extracted using a syringe.

FullStop's are often installed in pairs at different depths and are always associated with a Chameloen Sensor Array.
