Wireless Moisture Sensor
TM
Welcome to the world of Melnor® watering innovation. Thank you for
choosing the Melnor® AquaSentry™ Wireless Moisture Sensor. With the
AquaSentry™, you will avoid unneeded and wasteful watering while
protecting the health and beauty of your valuable lawn and garden.
The AquaSentry™ is an innovative device that automatically monitors
the amount of moisture in the soil and then prevents your Melnor®
AquaTimer® from activating if there is already enough moisture present.
Additionally, once watering has begun, AquaSentry™ will continue to monitor
the soil and end watering early if the desired
moisture level is achieved.
Wireless Moisture Sensor
AquaSentry™ works with Melnor® AquaTimer®
models 3015 and 3060 that bear the “Wireless
Ready” logo. Follow the AquaTimer®
instructions to program your timer as you
normally would. AquaSentry™ will
automatically override the program when
no watering is needed.

NOTE: Your AquaTimer® can be programmed on or off the faucet.
It may be easier to program the timer first and then attach it.
Simply attach the top coupling nut to the faucet by twisting the nut clockwise. The nut should be snug. Do not overtighten. Once the AquaTimer® is
attached, turn on the faucet and leave it on while the timer is attached.
Remember to turn off the water when you need to remove the AquaTimer®.
Attach a garden hose to the outlet end of the timer and then set up a
sprinkler as you normally would.
Setting the Timer
1. Use left arrow to decrease and right arrow to increase numbers ( t u )
to set “Current Time” to nearest hour at that time, noting AM and PM.
2. Repeat above instructions to set ”Start Time” to desired time of day
to begin watering.
3. Use left and right ( t u ) arrow buttons to set “How Often” (watering
Tool required: Phillips head screwdriver.
Place the Moisture Sensor
CAUTION: Never use a hammer or any other tool to
pound the unit into the ground. Do not attempt to
force the unit into the ground. This will damage the
Sensor. The AquaSentry™ has a maximum wireless
range of 200 feet (60 meters). The Sensor must be
placed within the area you are watering. For best
operation, place the Sensor in direct sight of the
Timer/Receiver. The Sensor can be placed out of
direct site of the Timer/Receiver, but the range may
be diminished somewhat.
To insert the Sensor, first dig a pilot hole about the
same size as the probe. The hole must be deep
frequency) to select an hour or day increment. (8 hours = 3 times per
day, 2 days = every other day)
4. Use left and right ( t u ) arrow buttons to set “How Long” (watering
duration) to select a minute or hour increment.
5. Activate the watering program by pressing the Program On/Off button;
a horizontal bar will be displayed to signify the program is on. Press
the Program On/Off button again to disable the program.
enough to bury the entire sensor probe. (Illustration) Remove any large
rocks or other debris from the soil that is removed from the hole. Place
the Sensor into the hole so that the entire probe is under ground level.
The face of the Sensor unit should be turned toward the Timer/Receiver.
Return the soil to the hole and pack firmly into place. It is important that
the entire front surface of the probe be in contact with the soil.
NOTE: To avoid accidentally changing the current program, the arrow
buttons will be “locked out” or inaccessible if “Program On” is selected.
Individual grass and plant species have varying moisture requirements.
The AquaSentry™ Moisture Sensor has three moisture settings plus OFF.
Melnor® recommends initially setting the knob to the medium setting
(two droplets). After a week, you should reassess the moisture in the area
you are watering. If the soil is too wet, adjust the unit to the dryer setting
(one droplet). If the soil is too dry, select the wetter setting (three droplets).
To create a new program, press Program On/Off button if necessary to
disable the current program. Press ( t u ) arrow buttons to desired
settings and press Program On/Off button again to select the newly
created program.
Selecting the Desired Moisture Level
To avoid watering during the current program, press the Program On/Off
button to disable the program and press again to enable the program
when desired.
Continue to monitor your particular watering requirements based on
weather conditions and overall plant health.
Watering Manually
Slide the receiver onto the rail along the top
of your compatible Melnor® AquaTimer®.
The receiver does not need to slide fully on
to work properly. You may need to leave a
gap to allow for operation of the faucet.
Press the Manual On/Off button to water manually. Press the button
again to stop watering; otherwise the timer will water for 30 minutes and
automatically shut off.
Low Battery
A fresh battery should last one watering season. When the battery is
weak, the low battery indicator bar will show. If this occurs during a
watering program, the unit will automatically shut off and discontinue
running the program. The valve will not reopen until a fresh battery is
installed. After inserting a new battery, the timer must be re-programmed
to resume watering.
LCD Sleep Mode
To prolong battery life, the LCD will “sleep” after approximately 4 minutes of
button inactivity. “Wake” the unit by pressing either the Program On/Off or
the Manual On/Off buttons.
Attach the Receiver to the Timer
Connect the Receiver cable to the socket
located on the bottom of your AquaTimer®.
Note the orientation of the three (3) pins to
be certain the cable is attached correctly.
After installing the receiver, press either the “Program” or “Manual”
button once to wake the timer. If the AquaSentry™ system is working
properly, an antenna symbol should appear
as shown (Illustration…3015 and 3060)
within 35 seconds indicating communication
between the Sensor, Receiver and
AquaTimer®. If the symbol displays
steadily, your AquaSentry™ is working
properly and monitoring the soil’s moisture
level.
If the antenna symbol is flashing, one of the
following has occurred:
a. The batteries in the moisture sensor are not installed
properly or they are too weak.
b. The Moisture Sensor is out of range.
If the antenna symbol fails to appear, the connection between the
Receiver and the AquaTimer® is faulty.
Check all of the above. Wait for 5 minutes or until the AquaTimer®
display turns off. Then wake the AquaTimer® and watch for the
antenna symbol. The antenna symbol should appear within 35 seconds.
Over time, if the antenna symbol begins to flash, the batteries in the
Sensor are weak and need to be replaced.
