Grow more, waste less... INSTALLATION GUIDE Single depth soil moisture sensor Installation Guide Version 1.
Getting started 1 2 3 Download the Sensoterra app. Open the app and create an account Make an installation plan Available for iOS and Android (search for “Sensoterra in the app stores). This is the account you will register the sensors under and receive notifications on for soil moisture levels. Consider how you’d like the sensors distributed over your land, and what soil type they are going to be used in. We recommend 5-6 probes per irrigation loop.
Normal Use With proper use and care, the sensors should last 3 years. To get the most out of your sensors, please keep these tips in mind: Push the sensors into the soil or tap them in using a rubber hammer. Do not use a steel hammer on the casing! Directly hit the top of the sensor in the raised disc area. Soil contact is important so should you feel an obstruction or resistance beneath the ground, try to find another spot to place the sensor.
Soil Calibration Sensoterra sensors can be calibrated to different soil types: Clay, Clay loam, Clay loam silt, Saline clay, Loam (Greenhouse soil), Loamy sand, Sand, Sand (Dunes soil 1), Sand (Dunes soil 2), Sand (Planting soil), Sand (Tree soil), and Peat. Soil moisture levels will be reported as a percentage level. We can recommend a healthy range for maintaining good soil moisture.
