Drive the battery door screw counter clockwise to open the battery door.3. Insert 2 x CR2032 button cells into the battery compartment. Make sure you insert them the right way according to the polarity information marked on the battery compartment. x 24. Cover the battery door and drive the door screw clockwise to close the battery door.Note:Ensure the water tight O-ring is properly aligned in place to ensure water resistant.Note: - Once the channel is assigned to a Wireless sensor, you can only change it by removing the batteries or resetting the unit. - After replacing the batteries of the wireless sensor or the unit fails to receive wireless sensor signal of a specied channel, press [ SENSOR ] key on the console unit to manually receive the sensor signal again.WIRELESS SENSOR SIGNAL RECEIVING (DISPLAY CONSOLE)This soil sensor can support dierent 7CH console, user can base on the following step to setup the display console.1. In normal mode, press the [ SENSOR ] key of the console once to start receiving the sensor signal of current on displaying channel. The signal icon will ash. For example, when CH 1 is displayed, pressing [ SENSOR ] key will start receive for CH 1 only. 2. The signal icon will ash until the reception succeeded. If no signal is received within 5 minutes the icon will disappear. The icon blinks once every time when incoming wireless sensor signal is received (every 60s)Weak wireless sensor signalFair wireless sensor signal Bad / no wireless sensor signal3. If the signal for Ch 1~7 has discontinued and does not recover within 15 minutes, the temperature and humidity will display “Er” for the corresponding channel.4. If the signal does not recover within 48 hours, the “Er” display will become permanent. You need to replace the batteries of the “Er” channel’s sensors and then press [ SENSOR ] key to pair up with the sensors per each “Er” channel again.Note:The operation or signal icons of dierent display consoles may be dierent, please refer to the user manual of your display console for more detail.TEMPERATURE DISPLAYOn the display of the console which the soil sensor is linked to, temperature reading will be displayed.SOIL MOISTURE DISPLAYSoil moisture can be claried into 5 dierent levels: Very Dry, Dry , Moist, Wet and Very Wet.To determine the moisture of soil, the sensor calibrate the moisture into 16 points, and correlate them into percentage value:Points Percentage Level1 0%Very Dry2 7%3 13%4 20%5 27%6 33%Dry7 40%8 47%9 53%10 60%Moist11 67%12 73%13 80% Wet14 87%15 93% Very Wet16 99%Note:The measurement accuracy of the sensor can be aected by the soil condition. For example, the loose soil may get lower moisture level that compare with the dense soil.
SENSOR PLACEMENTSelect the suitable installation site that insert the sensor probes into the soil around 100mm (4 inch) and sensor should place within 30 meters of the display console to get the best transmission performance.Display consoleSoil sensorplacement100mm(4 inch)30m(100 feet)SoilNote:Signal transmission range of the sensor will be gradually reduced as sensor is inserted deeper into the soil. To achieve best transmission range, install the sensor on the same plain of view as the display console.REFRESH THE READING ON DISPLAY CONSOLEThe sensor transmits once every 5 minutes automatically to the display console. User may also press the [ REFRESH ] key on the sensor to manually refresh the readings if necessary - please note the refresh may take a few seconds up to a minute.Note:Some battery operated display consoles may not support this function, please check your retailer to get more information.LOW BATTERY ICONIf the sensor is low in battery, the low battery icon “ ” will display on the LCD of the display console.Note:On the display console, the low battery icon will only appear when the corresponding channel is displaying.
