General Operation

After calibration has been completed, the receiver will
begin to toggle between the current moisture level
and "watering completion time".
"Watering completion time" is a feature that ensures all
other zones in the irrigation program that's currently
running get watered before the sensor begins blocking
irrigation after it has been triggered by the moisture
level in the soil approaching 100%. The default delay
is set to 4 hours, indicated by the number "04" and
the hourglass icon
progresses.
After watering completion time has timed out,
watering restriction will begin. While in watering
restriction mode, the current moisture level (%) and
the "no watering" icon
red LED on the receiver will remain on. The Precision
Soil Sensor is preset to restrict watering until the soil
moisture level drops to 50%, or 1/2 of the total
moisture that can be retained in the soil. Meaning, the
Soil Sensor will allow watering only after 50% of the
water is gone.
It is possible to raise or lower this percentage,
increasing watering frequency or decreasing it. Push
the Plus button
desired percentage; push the Minus button
lower the percentage (Fig. 8).

100%, indicating the soil is saturated beyond a level
that is useable by the plants.
