Battery Installation

e Soil Sensor works on three “AA” Alkaline or Lithium

batteries (not included).

1. Remove four Phillips screws securing the sensor

battery compartment cover (Figure 1). Set cover

aside.

2. Install the batteries (Figure 2).

3. Ensure the O-ring is in place then install the battery

compartment cover.

When batteries are initially installed, the LED

signal indicator is red. When the receiver links with

the sensor, the LED changes to green. e LED

will remain on for 30 minutes to facilitate sensor

installation.

Sensor Setup

Implement the following two procedures to successfully setup

Toro’s Precision™ Soil Sensor:

1. “Add” the sensor to the controller for successful wireless

communication.

2. Calibrate the sensor for proper irrigation operation.

1. Add the Sensor to the Controller

Every soil sensor has a unique

ID number. at number must

be “added” to the controller.

3. to SOIL 1. to ADD. to conrm.

4. e EVOLUTION®controller waits for the identication

signal from the soil sensor.

• If the soil sensor has had batteries installed in the last 30

minutes, the controller should detect and add the sensor

immediately.

• If the sensor is out in the eld, it could take up to a half

an hour to detect and add the sensor.

• One can remove and reinstall the soil sensor’s batteries to

achieve immediate sensor detection.

5. e controller will detect the soil sensor. Conrm that the

sensor ID detected matches the sensor’s SN ID.

6. If it does match, press and continue to Calibrate the

Sensor.

If it does not match, change YES to NO, press , and

repeat steps 3-5.

2. Install and Calibrate the Sensor

e Precision™ Soil Sensor interprets soil moisture content on

a scale of 0% (extremely dry) to 100% (very wet). e key to

understanding how to calibrate a soil sensor is that the operator

must teach the 100% moisture level to the sensor.

1. After selecting YES from the previous screen, follow the

onscreen instructions below. Install the soil sensor in the

ground.

(See Appendix B: Site Selection and Earth Installation for

complete instructions on good sensor location.)

If soil sensor is not installed in the ground within that 30

minute “window”, the controller removes the sensor and

installation will have to be redone.

2. Return to the controller and conrm that the signal

strength (see above graphic) is good. If signal strength is

weak, relocate the sensor to a spot closer to the controller.

3. Press when satised.Use the and to adjust

the calibration setting (default 5: approximately a 1-day

“watch window”). Press .

e “Cal Setting” number adjusts the time it takes to

calibrate the sensor. A Cal Setting of ‘0’ calibrates the

sensor to the current moisture level in the ground. e

calibration will be set using the next sensor reading

(within 30 minutes).

Additional calibration settings are available. From ‘1’ (~1

day “watch window”) to ‘168’ (~7 day “watch window”).

4. Move to the YES eld after CALIBRATE NOW?

Press . Sensor calibration begins.

5. Press to return to the Home screen. A message on the

bottom of the Home screen indicates that the sensor is

calibrating. e message clears when calibration is nished.

The Soil Sensor Menu

e EVOLUTION®controller’s Soil Sensor menu displays

sensor information as well as allows the user to modify certain

settings.

Navigating the Menu Interface

• Use or to navigate the menu commands.

• To change a value, press or to move to the desired

eld, then press and to adjust the value.

• Press to input the desired value.

MOISTURE NOW

is displays the current moisture level, as a percentage, of the

soil. 100% is the soil level set after the rst calibration

(see Calibrate the Sensor, page 6).

LOW THRESHOLD

is is the point at which the soil sensor will let the controller

resume irrigation of the landscape. If you were to compare the

soil to a gas tank, the “low threshold” would be the point at

which you rell the gas tank.

For a detailed explanation of the low threshold setting,

please read Appendix A of this manual.

LOW THRESHOLD

Fine-tuning the “Low reshold” Moisture Level

Changes to the 50% setting should be made initially in 5%

increments in order to see results within a few days. e

objective is to nd the moisture setting that results in a mild

stress condition in the lawn, indicated by slight wilting and

dryness. At that point, adjust the setting 5% in the opposite

direction. is should result in moisture maintenance level

that’s very close to optimum.

1. Press or to increase or decrease the Low

reshold point by 1%.

2. Press to input the desired value.

SIGNAL STRENGTH

Indicates signal strength as a series of bars ( ).

BATTERY LEVEL

Indicates the battery strength in the soil sensor.

CALIBRATE

Calibration is required to establish the maximum amount of

usable moisture in the soil. e sensor will then recognize this soil

moisture level as the maximum capacity (100%). From this xed

reference point, the sensor determines when the soil moisture has

dropped enough (to the “Low reshold”) to allow watering.

Manual calibration: At some point, it might be necessary to

recalibrate the sensor (in the event of a sensor relocation for

example).

1. Run an automatic or manual watering operation to

thoroughly irrigate the sensor zone.

2. Go to the Sensor Menu of the soil sensor to calibrate.

3. Press to CAL SETTING. Use to move

to the number eld. Use or to adjust the

calibration number (default 5: approximately a 1-day

“watch window”). Press to conrm.

e “Cal Setting” number adjusts the time it takes to

calibrate the sensor. A Cal Setting of ‘0’ calibrates the

sensor to the current moisture level in the ground. e

calibration will be set using the next sensor reading

(within 30 minutes).

Additional calibration settings are available. From ‘1’ (~1

day “watch window”) to ‘168’ (~7 day “watch window”).
