1. Where to use Your GARDENA Soil Moisture Sensor
The GARDENA Soil Moisture Sensor is designed to be used solely
outdoors in domestic and private gardens and in greenhouses to
control sprinklers and watering systems via a GARDENA Water
Computer and multi-channel control systems taking account the
soil moisture level.
It is not permitted to use the Soil Moisture Sensor for
industrial or commercial applications and in conjunction
with chemicals, foodstuffs, highly combustible or explosive
substances.
2. Safety instructions
Batteries:
For reasons of operational reliability the Soil
Moisture Sensor should only be operated with
two 1.5 V (alkaline) round cells type IEC LR14.
To prevent failure of the Soil Moisture 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 a year
in total.
