To select correct location: Correct location:
The Sensor must be positioned at a location in the watering area
which is exposed to the same climatic conditions as the plants
(sun, wind, rain, etc.) for which a status is to be displayed.
Incorrect location:
The Sensor should not be covered by neighbouring plants.
Areas of shade should be avoided.
To rule out erroneous reaction results caused by waterlogging,
the Sensor should not be positioned in dips in the ground.
The sensor should not be positioned in places, where lawnmowers
mow.
In direct sunlight, it should be noted that the measured ambient
temperature can differ from the actual temperature.

WARNING!
The tip of the sensor will only measure the soil mois-
ture correctly if the sensor tip is in full contact with
the ground on all sides! No air should be trapped at
the sensor tip in the ground.
1. Dig a funnel­shaped hole in the ground
(8)
at least 12 cm deep.
2. Break up the soil
(8)
removed and take out any stones.
3. If the soil is dry, moisten.
4. Replace the damp broken­up soil
(8)
in the funnel­shaped hole
without packing tight.
5. Immerse entire sensor tip (4) in water (felt must be wet).
6. Insert the Sensor to the upper edge of the sensor
(10)
in the
broken­up soil
(8)
.
Here the sensor tip
(4)
must be in full contact with the damp soil
on all sides.
7. Press down the soil
(8)
around the sensor
(10)
lightly.
The Sensor should not stand loose in the ground.
8. Water the area around the Sensor with approx. 1 litre water.
Depending on the ground it may take several hours until the
Sensor measures the actual soil moisture.
HINT: To Connect GARDENA Micro-Drip-System:
To ensure that the quantity of water delivered is registered by the
sensor tip when using the GARDENA Micro­Drip­System, a drip
head should be installed directly above the sensor.
