Step 2– Select the Right Sensor Site

Note: Choosing the right location to place the sensor is very important for the overall

eectiveness of the Precision Soil Sensor system.

The illustration in Figure 3 below depicts a typical residential landscape. The areas

indicated in white may be suitable for the sensor, since they provide the most direct

sunlight throughout the day. Of these areas, install the sensor in the site that best

meets the following qualications:

•Withinreceivercommunication

range (up to 500’ line-of-sight).

•Representstheover-allsoil
