Note: When installing the biSensor connect it to the most
convenient valve. This connection is used for communication.

Step 1 biSensor Placement
When planning the biSensor location, take into account variables such as
distribution rate, sun exposure and soil type, or other site specific characteristics
that may affect water holding capacity or the rate at which plants use water.
The location of the biSensor will determine how frequently your sprinkler system
is allowed to water. If the biSensor is placed in an area that is generally wetter
than average it will cause your system to operate less frequently, possibly causing
dry spots. If the biSensor is placed in an area that receives less than average
water it will cause the system to operate more frequently.
Baseline biSensor placement recommendations:
• Place the biSensor near the center of a zone (should only receive water
from one zone).
• Place the biSensor in an area that receives average to slightly below average
water.
• Keep away from sidewalks and driveways to avoid water from car washing
or other factors.

Red areas when
installing your
biSensor. Dark
Green areas with
some shadow can
be used as a
secondary location.
