UgMO UG400S User Manual
Introduction
UgMO™ monitors soil moisture in the root zones of your plants. UgMO saves water
and improves plant health by limiting overwatering for lawns and ornamental
plantings. The UG400S paired with UG1000 controllers or PH100‐B devices will
enable water savings using smart irrigation algorithms.
UgMO wireless sensors have a patented electronic moisture and optional salinity
sensing circuit and low power radio signal.
Two uniquely configured batteries (supplied and installed) provide an operating life
of up to 5 years.
UgMO devices are weather resistant for outdoor use. Wireless Sensors are buried at
depths from 1” to 4” according to plant and soil types and operate at distances up
to 600 feet, depending on soil type, depth, and line of site to the Base Station. UgMO
sensors are easy to install, effective and long lasting. It is not uncommon for a typical
home to reduce water use by as much as 45%.
UgMO UG400S sensor is a new generation of wireless sensors that is designed to be
compatible with the existing ProHome and UG1000 product line.
The UG400S is a direct replacement for PH100‐WS sensors.
The device is intended for installation underground. It has a on/off switch that is
activated by means of turning the battery door one quarter turn. The device will not
sense anything for the first minute after power up, allowing the device to be
inserted in position underground.
Compatibility
UG400S is compatible with PH100-R, PH100-B and UG1000 devices.
Installing the Sensor
Place the sensors on top of the ground in the corresponding zones that they
represent for the associated above ground UgMO device (Refer to manuals for UgMO
PhoMO and UG1000 devices for more detail). The ideal location in each zone is
between sprinkler heads, in the driest part of the zone and with the clearest line of
sight to the above ground device when at all possible. The sensors should be placed
perpendicular to the above ground device, so that the broad side of the sensor body
is facing in the direction of the device.
Once all sensors are placed on top of the ground in the correct zones, go back to the
above ground device and restart it (if a PH100‐B device) or start the sensor pairing
activity.
3. Go back to the zone one sensor. Dig a hole using a small shovel or a hole‐cutter
approximately one and quarter times the length of the sensor and three times the
width (keeping in mind the orientation. Burry the sensor and ensure it is heard at
the intended Base Station or Controller.
Placement of The Sensor
1. Using a 1.5” putty knife or something similar, create a horizontal slit in the soil, so
the center of the slit is 1.5” to 1.75” below the top of the soil and within the root
zone of the plant.
2. Take some dirt from the hole and perform a field test to identify the soil’s physical
properties which will be used later for setting the zone Wetness Settings (field test
instruction can be found in the manual in Appendix B).
3. Turn the sensor on using the turn switch at the back side of the sensor. Ensure
steps 4 – 6 are completed within 1 minute of powering on of the sensor. Make sure
the whisker is attached to the sensor body prior to powering on of the sensor.
4. Insert the sensor blade into the slit you created without wiggling or applying any
side‐to‐side pressure on the sensor blade.
5. Place the whisker, loop side down so that the top is out of the ground at a level
that is close to the length of the grass or where it can be covered by a thin layer of
mulch, (If sensor is located in a planting bed).
6. Bury the sensor and whisker, making sure to pack the soil firmly as you fill the
hole and place the turf cap back on.
Operations
Once the sensor is installed it will require no intervention from user, with the
exception of change of battery. The device reports its battery level.
Notices
