Moisture Sensor Triggering
Irrigation can be triggered based on the output of a moisture sensor. Currently, 0-5V type moisture sensors
are supported. The moisture level trigger point is set in millivolts. If moisture sensor triggering is enabled,
the irrigation stages will not be activated until the sensor output is at or below the trigger level.
NOTE
Ensure that the “Repeat Settings” are configured to allow irrigation until the moisture sensor is satisfied, or
set the function for a specific time range to reset when it is off.
TIP
If a time range is set on the function then stages will only be activated during the time range.
If no time range is set, then the function may activate any time the sensor output is low and will require the
user to ensure the system can irrigate until the trigger level is restored.
1. Enable Tirggering
Enable the switch to show and configure the trigger settings.
2. Input Settings Set the input device and input channel that the sensor is connected to.
3. Trigger Preset
Set the mV reading from the sensor to trigger the irrigation.

If the irrigation function is set for a TIME RANGE (1) then be sure the time range includes enough time for the
stages (2) and the number of repeat cycles (3) that are configured, otherwise, stages or cycles outside of the
time range may be cut off.
TIP
To set alternate time intervals or irrigation schedules for lighter or heavier waterings at different times, copy
and create multiple settings within the irrigation function.
