IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT DAMAGE SENSOR TINE
Be careful not to apply side-to-side force on tine when in-
serting into the ground. This can damage the sensor and/
or create a loose fit in the soil around the sensor causing
inaccurate readings.
7. Bury the sensor and whisker, making sure to pack the soil firmly
as you fill the hole and place the turf cap back on.
8. Repeat steps 6-9 for all sensors. Repeat the field soil test only if
you are dealing with different types of soils for the different zones
(flower beds, turf areas, mounds, valleys, etc.)
9. Once all sensors are buried return to the Base Station and restart
it. Wait to see if all the sensors can communicate to the Base Sta-
tion from their buried positions like in step 2.
