Step 1– Site Selection
Note: Only one sensor is needed for the entire landscape. Choosing the right location to
place the sensor is important for the overall effectiveness of the Precision Soil Sensor
system.
The illustration in Figure 1 below depicts a typical residential landscape. The areas indicated
in white are suitable for the sensor, since they provide the most direct sunlight throughout
the day. Install the sensor in the site
that best meets the following
qualifications:
• Within receiver communication
range, up to 500' (152m) line-of-
sight.
• Represents the over-all soil
composition and condition.
• The highest elevation in the area.
• Is at least 4' (1m) away from a roof
overhang, downspout, walkway,
driveway or sprinkler.
• Not contacted by overspray from a
bordering watering zone.
• Not in a footpath or specified play
area.
