5. The controller will detect the soil sensor. Confirm that the
sensor ID detected matches the sensor’s SN ID.
6. If it does match, press and continue to Calibrate the
Sensor .
If it does not match, change
YES
to
NO
, press , and
repeat steps 3-5.
2. Install and Calibrate the Sensor
The Precision™ Soil Sensor interprets soil moisture content on
a scale of 0% (extremely dry) to 100% (very wet). The key to
understanding how to calibrate a soil sensor is that the operator
must teach the 100% moisture level to the sensor.
1. After selecting
YES
from the previous screen, follow the
onscreen instructions below. Install the soil sensor in the
ground.
(See
Appendix B: Site Selection and Earth Installation
for
complete instructions on good sensor location.)
If soil sensor is not installed in the ground within that 30
minute “window”, the controller removes the sensor and
installation will have to be redone.
2. Return to the controller and confirm that the signal
strength (see above graphic) is good. If signal strength is
weak, relocate the sensor to a spot closer to the controller.
3. Press when satisfied.Use the and to adjust
the calibration setting (default 5: approximately a 1-day
“watch window”). Press .
The “Cal Setting” number adjusts the time it takes to
calibrate the sensor. A Cal Setting of ‘0’ calibrates the
sensor to the current moisture level in the ground. The
