ing soil. Be careful not to bend the black overmolding connecting the
sensor to the cable.
To watch a video on proper installation of the sensor go to

Orientation
The sensor can be oriented in any direction. However, orienting
the flat side perpendicular to the surface of the soil will minimize
effects on downward water movement.
Removing the Sensor
When removing the sensor from the soil, do not pull it out of the soil
by the cable! Doing so may break internal connections and make the
sensor unusable.
