Quick Start Manual

Note: Only one sensor is needed for the entire landscape. Choosing the right location to

place the sensor is important for the overall eectiveness of the Precision Soil Sensor

system.

The illustration in Figure 1 below depicts a typical residential landscape. The areas indicated

in white are suitable for the sensor, since they provide the most direct sunlight throughout

the day. Install the sensor in the site

that best meets the following

qualications:

•Withinreceivercommunication
