OVERVIEW

1. Transmission status LED
2. Sensor metal probes
3. Moisture sensor
4. Wall mounting holder
5. [CHANNEL] slide switch to assign the sensor to Channel 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7
6.  [ RESET ] key
7. Battery compartment

GETTING STARTED

1. Remove the battery door.
2. Slide the [CHANNEL] slide switch to choose a channel.
3. Insert 2 x AA size batteries into the battery compartment according to the polarity mark on the battery compartment.
4. Close the battery door.
5. After inserting batteries, the transmission status LED will light up 1 sec.

Note:

• Ensure to assign different channels of different sensors, in case you need to pair more than one sensor.
• Once the channel is assigned to a Wireless Soil Moisture & Temperature sensor, you can only change it by removing the batteries or resetting the unit.
• Avoid placing the sensor in direct sunlight, rain or snow.

PAIRING THE WIRELESS SENSOR WITH THE CONSOLE

The console will automatically search and connect to your wireless sensor(s). Once your sensor(s) pair up successful, the sensor(s) signal strength indication and weather
information will appear on your console display.
Note:
During signal transmission, the LED indicator of the sensor will flash.

TEMPERATURE DISPLAY

On the display of the console which the soil sensor is linked to, temperature reading will be displayed.

SOIL MOISTURE DISPLAY

Soil moisture can be clarified into 5 different levels: Very Dry, Dry, Moist, Wet and Very Wet.
To determine the moisture of soil, the sensor calibrate the moisture into 16 points, and correlate them into percentage value:

Note:
The measurement accuracy of the sensor can be affected by the soil condition. For example, the loose soil may get lower moisture level that compare with the dense soil.

SENSOR PLACEMENT

Select the suitable installation site that insert the sensor probes into the soil around 100mm (4 inch) and sensor should place within 30 meters of the display console to get  the best transmission performance.

Note:
Signal transmission range of the sensor will be gradually reduced as sensor is inserted deeper into the soil. To achieve best transmission range, install the sensor on the same plain of view as the display console.
RESET THE SENSOR
In case of malfunction, press the [RESET] button to reset the sensor.
