UgMOUG400Ssensorisanewgenerationofwirelesssensorsthatisdesignedtobe

compatiblewiththeexistingProHomeandUG1000productline.

TheUG400SisadirectreplacementforPH100‐WSsensors.

Thedeviceisintendedforinstallationunderground.Ithasaon/offswitchthatis

activatedbymeansofturningthebatterydooronequarterturn.Thedevicewillnot

senseanythingforthefirstminuteafterpowerup,allowingthedevicetobe

insertedinpositionunderground.

Compatibility

UG400S is compatible with PH100-R, PH100-B and UG1000 devices.

InstallingtheSensor



Placethesensorsontopofthegroundinthecorrespondingzonesthatthey

representfortheassociatedabovegroundUgMOdevice(RefertomanualsforUgMO

PhoMOandUG1000devicesformoredetail).Theideallocationineachzoneis

betweensprinklerheads,inthedriestpartofthezoneandwiththeclearestlineof

sighttotheabovegrounddevicewhenatallpossible.Thesensorsshouldbeplaced

UgMO UG400S User Manual Introduction UgMO™ monitors soil moisture in the root zones of your plants. UgMO saves water and improves plant health by limiting overwatering for lawns and ornamental plantings. The UG400S paired with UG1000 controllers or PH100‐B devices will enable water savings using smart irrigation algorithms. UgMO wireless sensors have a patented electronic moisture and optional salinity sensing circuit and low power radio signal.

is facing in the direction of the device. Once all sensors are placed on top of the ground in the correct zones, go back to the above ground device and restart it (if a PH100‐B device) or start the sensor pairing activity. 3. Go back to the zone one sensor. Dig a hole using a small shovel or a hole‐cutter approximately one and quarter times the length of the sensor and three times the width (keeping in mind the orientation. Burry the sensor and ensure it is heard at the intended Base Station or Controller.
