set correctly.

Defective or loose connec-

tion cable.

No water in the Soil Moisture

Sensor.

You can shorten the time it takes

for the moisture sensor to react

by reducing the installation depth

of the moisture sensor. However,

it must be ensured that the ce-

ramic sensor

still has sufficient

contact with the soil (the cera-

mic sensor must not be exposed

to the air – see point 5.2).

7.2 Care

The Soil Moisture Sensor should

be cleaned approx. every 4 months

and replaced in the soil as de-

scribed in point 5.2.

Note : Do not use harsh house-

hold cleaning agents or scouring

powder. Handle the ceramic

sensor

carefully.

Remedy

Locate the Soil Moisture Sensor

in the area to be watered.

Readjust the setting via the

turning knob

(see point 5.3.).

Check the plug-in connection for

damage and replace it, if neces-

sary (spare cable can be ordered

from the GARDENA Service).

Fill the Soil Moisture Sensor with

clean water. Screw on the cover

correctly (see point 5.2).
