The Wireless Leaf & Soil Moisture/Temperature Station (referred to in this document
as the Leaf/Soil Station) can be used with any Wireless Vantage Pro2 weather station
to measure leaf wetness, soil moisture, or temperature.
The following Vantage Pro2 console station configurations can be used with the
Leaf/Soil Station:
• Only one Leaf/Soil Station can be installed as a Leaf/Soil Station per Vantage Pro2
Weather Station.
• Two stations can be installed if one is configured as a Leaf Station and the other
station is configured as a Soil Station in the Vantage Pro2 console.
• Configured as a Leaf Station, the Station supports two leaf wetness sensors and
two temperature probes.
• Configured as a Soil Station, it supports up to four soil moisture sensors and tem-
perature probes.
Note:
In any station using soil moisture sensors, the corresponding temperature probe, if installed, will be
used for temperature compensation of the soil moisture sensor.
