# Changing sensor location

## What to do when changing the location of one or multiple sensors

1. First take the sensor out of the substrate and insert it the pink foam block to protect both the employee and the sensor
2. Install the sensor in the desired place in the same way the other sensors are installed  
     1. When a sensor is being moved to a different type of cultivation or a different growing medium, please install the sensor according to the manual of that specific cultivation or substrate type — you can find the manuals here
3. Write down the serial number of the moved sensor(s) together with the name of the placement, e.g. 'Watering Section 3 - Row 15' or 'Row 40 - Front'
4. Draw the approximate new location of the moved sensor(s) on a sketchbook or piece of paper (to assist with updating the heatmap in the dashboard)
5. Move the sensors on the Growboard, either keeping the data with the placement or moving the data with the sensor
