1. Introduction Thanks for purchasing this Multi-Channel WH51 soil moisture sensor. This device measures soil moisture. The data can be streamed by GW1000 Wi-Fi Gateway(sold separately) and can be viewed on our WS View mobile application after the Wi-Fi configuration done.
4. Setup Guide 4.1 Install batteries 1.Open the battery cap of the soil moisture sensor 2.Insert one AA battery. 3.After inserting the battery, the remote sensor LED indicator will light for 4 seconds, and then flash once per 70 second thereafter. Each time it flashes, the sensor is transmitting data.
GW1000 will pick soil moisture data automatically. If a WH51 sensor has been hooked on GW1000 before, and you have a new WH51 sensor to replace the old one, unplug GW1000 from USB socket and power up again, then the new sensor will be learned and old sensor will be erased.

Example: when sensor moisture AD is 310, calculated moisture is: (310 – 70)*100% / (500-70) = 56%. This is a fixed slope rate linear system. Custom ON: When pot soil at dry or wet condition is not giving the moisture sensor output value that is close to its default assumption, it will give inaccurate moisture level results.

decrease the 100%AD value to fix it. Please refer to the below example for better understanding. For example: When you use this product at the first time, please turn off the custom mode and test the product at the following two situations: Situation One: You watered your potted plant with enough water and the soil should be extremely wet, however the...

Then: 95% = (183 - 70)*100%/(100%AD – 70 ) Result: 100%AD = 188(take the Integer part) Then you can adjust the default 0%AD value to 188 and touch the screen for once to update the data. When you get your expected moisture reading, click Save to save the setting.

Then: 10% = (183 - 0%AD)*100%/(500 – 0%AD ) Result: 0%AD = 147(take the Integer part) Then you can adjust the default 0%AD value to 147 and touch the screen for once to update the data. When you get your expected moisture reading, click Save to save the setting.
