Step 3- Adjust The Watering Program; Step 4- Sensor Installation And Calibration - Toro Precision Guide Rapide

Step 3– Adjust the Watering Program
1. Set the watering day schedule to water every day of the week (except watering-
restricted days).
2. Set the run time for each zone to those used during the summer months.

Step 4– Sensor Installation and Calibration
1. Before installing the batteries in the probe, press the Menu button
so "CA" (calibration) is displayed.
2. At this point you have two calibration options: Manual or Automatic.
Manual: If you happen to know the soil has been thoroughly soaked within the past 24 hours
and has had 2-4 hours to soak in (for example after an inch or more of rain, or after multiple
watering cycles), press or hold down the Minus button
set the calibration duration to last zero hours, effectively telling the sensor to set whatever
the current moisture level is as 100%.
Automatic: If the soil has not been soaked within the past 24 hours, press or hold down the
Minus button
last until the END of the next automatic watering. Additionally, if the irrigation controller is
set up to automatically fall back into "Run"/"Auto" mode after completing a manual program,
run a manual program immediately after installation as well. This will allow for a total of two
watering cycles (one automatic and one manual) within the calibration period, making for a
more accurate calibration.
Note: For additional calibration methods, refer to the full-length User Guide available at
