1. SAFETY
Important!
Read the operator’s manual
carefully before use and keep
for future reference.
DANGER!
Risk of suffocation!
Small parts can be easily swal-
lowed. There is also a risk that
the polybag can suffocate tod-
dlers. Keep toddlers away when
you assemble the product.
DANGER! Cardiac arrest!
This product makes an electro-
magnetic field while it operates.
This field may under some condi-
tions interfere with active or pas-
sive medical implants. To
decrease the risk of conditions
that can possibly injure or kill, we
recommend persons with medi-
cal implants to speak with their
physician and the medical
implant manufacturer before you
operate the product.
Do not use damaged products.
Ensure that all parts are correctly
disposed of with immediate effect
(please see Chapter 6. STORAGE
“Disposal/ Disposal of the batteries”).
Keep damaged parts out of the
reach of children.
Regularly examine the product for
damage.
There is a risk of tripping. Position
the sensor in such a manner that it
can be seen at all times.
The product will become hot when
exposed to sunlight. Touching the
product in such a condition can
result in slight burns if touched.
Ensure that the product is only used
within the stated temperature range
– 1 °C to +50 °C.
Batteries:
DANGER!
Replace flat batteries. If the
batteries are completely flat,
battery acid could leak.
Do not use re-chargeable batteries.
Regularly examine the batteries for
damage.
Do not use damaged batteries.
Ensure that they are correctly dis-
posed of (please see Chapter
6.STORAGE “Disposal / Disposal
of the batteries”).
Keep damaged batteries out of the
reach of children.
To prevent failure of the Sensor due
to weak batteries in conjunction with
a lengthy absence, batteries should
be replaced in due course. This will
depend on the previous operating
life of the batteries and the probable
length of absence, which should
not exceed 6 month in total.

Information regarding use:
The Soil Moisture Sensor is equipped
with a safety switch. If the batteries
are flat, the selected watering time
of the smart App will be used for
watering.
The spread of moisture in the soil
after watering or rainfall is rather slow.
In the worst-case scenario it may
happen that irrigation and a rain
shower overlap until the required soil
moisture is attained.

EN
2. FUNCTION
The Sensor measures the soil moisture at the root level of the plants and
the temperature near the soil automatically and sends the measured results
to the Gateway. (The values can be read using the GARDENA smart App).
If the batteries are flat and are not replaced, the smart App will function
with the program selected.
VReplace batteries (see 3. INITIAL OPERATION „To insert batteries“).

To insert batteries:
The batteries are not included in the scope of delivery.
The Sensor must only be operated with 2 x alkalimanganese (alkaline)
batteries type LR6 (AA) (Mignon).
The operating period is approx. 6 months. The operating period can vary
depending on ambient temperature and transmission frequency.
CAUTION!
Rechargeable batteries should not be used!

To select the correct location:
Correct location:
The Sensor must be positioned at a location in the watering area which is
exposed to the same climatic conditions as the plants (sun, wind, rain, etc.)
for which a status is to be displayed.
If you use drip irrigation, place the sensor near a dripping point.
If you would like to place the sensor in a planter, choose a spot at least 5 cm
from the edge.
If you would like to place the sensor in the lawn, first strip the top layer of the
lawn before continuing.
Place the sensor so that there are no obstacles between the sensor and the
Gateway.
Incorrect location:
To rule out erroneous results caused by waterlogging, the Sensor should not be
positioned in dips in the ground.
In direct sunlight, it should be noted that the measured temperature can differ
from the actual temperature.
When used in a flower pot, the sensor must be at least 5 cm from the edge of
the flower pot.
CAUTION!
Damage to the sensor from the lawn mower.
v The cutting height of the lawnmower must be at least 30 mm.
9
EN
To plant the Sensor:
CAUTION!
The measuring area will only measure the soil moisture correctly
if the measuring area is in full contact with the ground on all sides!
No air should be trapped at the measuring area in the ground.
Remove the soil:
8
1. Dig a funnel-shaped hole in the ground 8at least 20 cm deep.
2. Break up the soil 8removed and take out any stones and thick roots.
3. Make sure there are no metal objects near the sensor.
