Problem
Solution
Wireless remote (soil sensor) not
reporting in to console.
There are dashes (--.-) on the display
console.
The maximum line of sight communication range is 100’
line of sight and 70’ under most conditions. Move the
console closer to the sensor.
If the sensor is too close (less than 5’), move the sensor
assembly away from the display console.
Make sure the wireless sensor LED is flashing. Press the
REFRESH
button.
Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote sensor.
Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting
through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth
barrier (down a hill).
Move the display console around electrical noise
