Product Description
The Gardena Soil Moisture Sensor has been developed to allow the moisture of the soil to affect whether your plants receive water or not. This makes watering even more efficient as by connecting this moisture sensor to the water timer or computer which is operating your irrigation system it enables the moisture sensor to override any preset program if the soil is already damp - so preventing over watering or you wasting water. This makes it an extremely reliable way of controlling the water your plants receive when you're away on holiday.
How it Works!
In the centre of the control panel is the Switching Controller which lets you set the moisture level at which you want watering to take place. When you receive the sensor this controller is set to the centre position which is suitable for most soil types. If you have sandy soil the controller should be turned more to the right (damper). For potting soil the controller should be turned more to the left (dryer)
The sensor measures the soil moisture at the root level of your plants. It measures the level of moisture every ten minutes and sends the results to your Water Timer / Computer
Indicator lights on the control panel will show if the soil is wetter or dryer than the level you want watering to take place
Specification
A 5 metre cable is supplied to connect the Moisture Sensor to your Water Timer - this lets you place the sensor in the most sensible place to get a reading for the soil moisture which will affect how your plants are watered
Suitable to use with Water timers T 1030 plus and T 1030 card Plus can be used with Water computers C 1030 plus, C 1060 Profi, C 1060 Profi/ Solar Controller 1250 and system module 4040 Modular

Gardena Soil Mositure Sensor
By Jon
Does what it says on the tin. I prefer the approach of measuring soil moisture directly, rather than attempting to catch and measure rainfall.
