Abstract
A transmitter device (100) includes a housing (102). The transmitter device (100) has at least one battery housed within the housing (102). The transmitter device (100) has a cover (104) which at least partially covers the at least one battery. The transmitter device (100) further includes a sensor (106) electrically coupled with the at least one battery. The transmitter device (100) is installed in a ground surface. The transmitter device (100) is characterized in that the cover (104) is removably coupled with the housing (102) by a snap-fit connection such that the cover (104) is vertically accessible for removal while the transmitter device (100) remains installed. The cover (104) includes one or more recesses or protrusions (114) and the housing (102) has one or more complementary protrusions (112) or recesses for the removable coupling between the cover (104) and the housing (102), and the cover (104) includes a tab (108) or a slot which allows disassembly of the cover (104) from the housing (102).
