4. Cover the battery door and drive the
door screw clockwise to close the
battery door.
Note:
Ensure the water tight O-ring is properly
aligned in place to ensure water resistant.
Note:
- Once the channel is assigned to a Wireless sensor, you can only change it by
removing the batteries or resetting the unit.
- After replacing the batteries of the wireless sensor or the unit fails to receive wireless
sensor signal of a specied channel, press [ SENSOR ] key on the console unit to
manually receive the sensor signal again.
WIRELESS SENSOR SIGNAL RECEIVING (DISPLAY CONSOLE)
This soil sensor can support dierent 7CH console, user can base on the following step
to setup the display console.
1. In normal mode, press the [ SENSOR ] key of the console once to start receiving
the sensor signal of current on displaying channel. The signal icon will ash.
For example, when CH 1 is displayed, pressing [ SENSOR ] key will start receive for
CH 1 only.
2. The signal icon will ash until the reception succeeded. If no signal is received within
5 minutes the icon will disappear.
The icon blinks once every time
when incoming wireless sensor
signal is received (every 60s)
Weak wireless sensor

Fair wireless sensor signal
Bad / no wireless
sensor signal
3. If the signal for Ch 1~7 has discontinued and does not recover within 15 minutes,
the temperature and humidity will display “Er” for the corresponding channel.
4. If the signal does not recover within 48 hours, the “Er” display will become
permanent. You need to replace the batteries of the “Er” channel’s sensors and then
press [ SENSOR ] key to pair up with the sensors per each “Er” channel again.
Note:
The operation or signal icons of dierent display consoles may be dierent, please refer
to the user manual of your display console for more detail.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
On the display of the console which the soil sensor is linked to, temperature reading will
be displayed.
SOIL MOISTURE DISPLAY
Soil moisture can be claried into 5 dierent levels: Very Dry, Dry , Moist, Wet and Very
Wet.
To determine the moisture of soil, the sensor calibrate the moisture into 16 points, and
correlate them into percentage value:
Points Percentage Level
1 0%
Very Dry
2 7%
3 13%
4 20%
5 27%
6 33%
Dry
7 40%
8 47%
9 53%
10 60%
Moist11 67%
12 73%
13 80%
Wet
14 87%
15 93%
Very Wet
16 99%
Note:
The measurement accuracy of the sensor can be aected by the soil condition. For
example, the loose soil may get lower moisture level that compare with the dense soil.
LOW BATTERY ICON
If the sensor is low in battery, the low battery icon “
” will display on the LCD of the
display console.
Note:
On the display console, the low battery icon will only appear when the corresponding
channel is displaying.
SENSOR PLACEMENT
Select the suitable installation site that insert the sensor probes into the soil around
100mm (4 inch) and sensor should place within 30 meters of the display console to get
the best transmission performance.

The sensor transmits once every 5 minutes automatically to the display console. User
may also press the [ REFRESH ] key on the sensor to manually refresh the readings if
necessary - please note the refresh may take a few seconds up to a minute.
