- Page 6 Installation Place in the Root Zone In turf applications, the probe should be placed in the root zone, approximately 6" (15 cm) deep (adjust for actual turf conditions). For shrubs or trees, select a deeper depth that matches the root zone. For new plantings, choose a spot halfway down the root ball, adjacent to native soil.

Page 7: Installing The Probe
Installation Installing the Probe Use ½" (12 mm) PVC pipe to make a vertical hole Soak the lower two-thirds of the probe for 30 minutes to desired depth in the soil (outside diameter before installing. Do not allow water to cover the top 7/8"... - Page 8 Installation Installing the Probe (continued) Mix a slurry of native soil and water, and pour it into Place the sensor in a vertical position (do not tilt it the hole. more than 45°) at the bottom of the hole. Do not install the probe horizontally!

Page 10: Choosing The Module Location
Installation Choosing the Module Location The Soil-Clik module is designed for outdoor installation when necessary. However, electronics will benefit from a protected location when practical. An indoor location, or inside the controller enclosure (ACC, ACC2, I-Core) is recommended. If the module must be outdoors, place it away from direct sunlight and sprinkler spray for best results. - Page 11 Installation Gray Connecting the Probe to the Module connection White Use only 18 AWG (1 mm ) or larger direct burial rated wire, Gray/Black up to 1000' (300 m) from the module. Yellow connection Connect the gray/black probe wires to the two gray module wires with waterproof connections (polarity is not important in this system).
