Setting Up Soil Moisture Sensor Based Watering

You can take the guesswork out of your watering decisions by setting up soil moisture sensor based

watering. The biSensor measures soil moisture where the plants need it – at the root level.

When you have a biSensor installed, the BaseStation 3200 enables you to set up one of the

following water strategies:

Timed – Waters without biSensor control, but provides a log of daily moisture levels.

Note: Be sure to use the Timed water strategy with new grass. After the root zone is

established, you can change to one of the other strategies.

Lower Limit Prevents watering until the moisture level drops below the limit, and then a full

water cycle will run. The user sets and manages the limit and the water time.
