HS2 and HS2P
These parameters are soil specific and grouped as “soil profiles”. The
HydroSense II holds up to 10 soil profiles labeled “SOIL 1” through “SOIL
10”.
Some soil profiles are preset to default values. These values may be used or
overwritten as desired, but take care to record what soil type is used for each
profile. The default soil profiles are described in TABLE 6-1, Default Soil
Profiles.
