4) The next day make a note of the number of
blinks on the controller. This gives you the
current soil moisture reading. Adjust the knob to
the same number as the blinks to give good
watering. Periodically check and turn up or down
if needed, using the knob. Higher numbers on
the knob provides higher soil moisture. The
system will water if the blinks (moisture reading)
goes BELOW the set value, for the time
determined by the switches on the underside of
the control assembly. (1, 3, 8 or 20 minutes).
The system measures the moisture 3 times a
day, in the morning, 4 hours later and 8 hours
later. The system maintains the last reading
even after watering, until the next measurement 4
hour later.
Need a shorter or longer watering time? Need a longer
cable from the valve to the controller?

INSTRUCTIONS.
What is the basic operation of the system?
The solar panel charges the Lithium Iron Phosphate battery,
and sends a signal to the control module to permit daytime
watering. At daybreak and then every 4 hours, during daylight
hours, two additional soil moisture level measurements are
made. That level is compared with the user set ‘desired’
watering level. If the desired level is higher than the measured
(current) moisture level, a watering cycle begins, turning on the
valve for one, three, eight or twenty minutes, depending on the
switch positions on the underside of the assembly. This
amount of water prevents over-watering or water dripping
through before it can be absorbed. It is possible to increase or
decrease this amount of water if needed using the switches.
The user adjusts the desired moisture level by turning the knob
at the top of the control assembly to raise or lower the desired
moisture setting. This is just the same as turning up or down
the volume on a stereo. Every twenty seconds, the LED (Light
Emitting Diode) will blink and indicates the ‘Current’ or
measured moisture level. At any time a watering cycle is
initiated when the knob is turned wetter than the current
reading. Watering is stopped manually by turning the knob
“down.” All the way down stops all watering. At night (1 blink) or
if the battery is low (2 blinks) the LED flashes briefly once per
minute and the controller goes into a special low power mode.
