3. Console Operation
Note: The console has two program modes: Time setting mode and
Custom mode.
If no operation for 20s, display will return to normal mode.
3.1 Time setting mode
Long press SET button to enter the time setting mode:
a. Short press ADD+, choose between 12/24hr display
b. Short press SET, step into Hour setting, Short press ADD+ to adjust
hour.
c. Short press SET, step into Minute setting, Short press ADD+ to
adjust minute.
3.2 Custom mode
Custom OFF:
Moisture level is calculated based on default dry and wet definition:
Dry (0%AD) AD: 70
Wet (100% AD) AD: 500
Soil Moisture = (moisture AD – 70) * 100% / ( 500 – 70 )
Example: when sensor moisture AD is 310, calculated moisture is:
(310 – 70)*100% / (430) = 56%.
This is a fixed slope rate linear system.
Custom ON:
When pot soil at dry or wet condition is not giving the moisture sensor
output value that is close to its default assumption, it will give
inaccurate moisture level results. It is commonly happening with
different soil type that gives very different output value at same
moisture level condition. We introduced this custom mode to make this
slope flexible so that it can match your soil type.
This becomes a variable slope rate linear system.
