Taking readings
The display is dynamic and will be continually updated as
conditions surrounding the sensor change. Because the meter
automatically refreshes itself, occasionally you will notice
that the LCD will spontaneously restart and display the initial
power-up screen. This happens if a sensor is being inserted
or withdrawn at the precise moment when the meter is taking
a reading. This is normal and will not affect subsequent read-
ings.
WaterScout SM100 and SMEC300 Sensors
Insert the 2.5mm stereo pin into the socket at the top of the
meter.
WaterMark Sensors
If the sensor is a WatchDog-compatible model of the sensor
(item numbers 6450WD or 6450WD20), the sensor can be
plugged directly into the meter like a WaterScout sensor. If
the sensor terminates in 2 green wires with circular leads, the
sensor must be connected to a Watermark Adapter (item
6450ADPT). The adapter has a 2.5mm stereo pin which can
then be connected to the meter.
Note: Only one adapter per Soil Sensor Reader is necessary.
