Introduction  

 

The purpose of this Quick Start Guide is to briefly explain what a moisture sensor is and how

the Ridder HortiMaX-Go!. 

 

1.1

 

Introduction to Moisture Sensor 

 

Ridder uses sensors that measure the moisture content, the Electric Conductivity (EC) and 

the temperature of the plants' growing medium (or substrate) in order to optimize your 

cultivation process. Ridder works with the TEROS-12 (CateC) sensor. You can connect 

multiple sensors to the Ridder Moisture Smart Switch. 

 

1.2

 

Use 

 

The Ridder Moisture Sensor can be connected to the following Ridder process computers: 

CX500, MultiMa and HortiMaX-Go!. Only operate the equipment if you are familiar with how 

these process computers work. 

 

This Quick Start Guide describes the use of moisture sensors in combination with the 

HortiMaX-Go!. The data that the sensor collects is combined with data from other sensors. 

This gives you an accurate picture of the current conditions in your greenhouse and allows 

you to adjust your climate and irrigation controls accordingly.
