UgMO™ monitors soil moisture in the root zones of your

plants, limiting watering by your irrigation controller to

avoid over-watering. UgMO consists of two components,

the UgMO Wireless Sensor and the UgMO Base Station.

Up to 24 wireless sensors can be paired, assigned and

buried to control up to 6 watering zones (valves).

The Base Station is wired between any common elec-

tronic irrigation controller (sometimes called a ‘clock’),

and the valves controlling watering in up to six zones.

UgMO supports the control of a Master Valve or Pump

via a special output.

UgMO saves water and improves plant health by limiting

overwatering for lawns and ornamental plantings.

Irrigation controllers can be set according to the hottest

or driest conditions expected. UgMO limits watering to

be ‘just enough’.

UgMO wireless sensors have a patented electronic

moisture sensing circuit and low power radio signal.

Two uniquely conﬁgured batteries (supplied and

installed) provide an operating life of up to 5 years.

The UgMO Base Station is powered by your Irrigation

controller.

Installation requires only basic electrical tools (a wire

stripper, crimper, connectors) a thin ﬂat screwdriver,

drywall screws, a Philip head screwdriver for mounting

and an AC voltmeter (Digital MultiMeter). UgMO devices

are weather resistant for outdoor use. Wireless Sensors

are buried at depths from 1” to 4”

according to plant and soil types and operate at

distances up to 600 feet, depending on soil type, depth,

and line of site to the Base Station. UgMO is easy to in-

stall, effective and long lasting. It is not uncommon for a

typical home to reduce water use by as much as 45%.
