Watering Start Times
Watering Start Times allows you to select when each program begins to water. Each
program can have up to 6 start times. Setup is the same for both timer programs (A, B,
C, and D) and sensor programs (S1, S2, S3…S36).

Soil Moisture Sensors
Soil Moisture Sensors enable you to adjust the moisture thresholds for each sensor in the
system and take a sensor reading. Sensors read and display:
·
Soil Moisture – reported as percent moisture by volume
·
Soil Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
·
Soil Conductivity reported in deci-Siemems per meter (dS/m).
The default soil moisture threshold is 25%. You should adjust your thresholds based on
your unique soil conditions in accordance with instructions at page 13-14.
1. Press
+
or
– Adjust Value
to select the
sensor.
2. Press

buttons to change
the threshold.
3. To read the sensor press
Next

Read Sensor field and press the
+ Adjust Value
button to take a sensor reading.
After a few seconds the sensor reports the current soil moisture, temperature, and
electrical conductivity at the sensor.
