Characteristics
• The AirSS-100 soil moisture sensor is designed for outdoor use and can be used for
permanent soil moisture monitoring in ornamental and utility gardens, vineyards, or-
chards, hop gardens, fi elds, etc.
• The measured values can be used to control irrigation on golf courses, gardens, green-
houses, etc.
• The soil moisture sensor AirSS-100 consists of a soil moisture sensor and sensor. In
the sensor are placed electrodes, measuring the electrical resistance of the soil. The
electrodes are embedded in a quartz porous material coated with a synthetic membra-
ne, which is protected by a perforated stainless steel cover. The output measure is the
so-called suction pressure of the soil - the force that plants must overcome in order to
be able to get water from the soil.
• The sensor measures soil moisture in the area of plant roots. Measuring range 10 - 190
centibars.
• The sensors are maintenance-free and frost-resistant and resistant to varying salt con-
tent in the soil solution.
• Two types of sensor connection to the instrument - with cable, with rod.
• Data is sent to the server from which it can be subsequently displayed as a smart-
phone, application, or Cloud notifi cation.
• Battery power can be sent to the server when it is powered by a battery.
• The AirSS-100 is supplied in an IP65 enclosure.

General instrucions
Internet of Things (IoT)
• The IOT wireless communications category describes the Low Power Wide Area
(LPWA). This technology is designed to provide full-range coverage both inside and
outside buildings, energy-saving and low-cost operation of individual devices. The
Sigfox network is available to use this standard.
Sigfox network information
• The network supports bidirectional communication but with a limited number of feed-
backs. It uses the free frequency band divided by Radio Frequency Zones (RCZ).
• RCZ1 (868 MHz) Europe, Oman, South Africa
• RCZ2 (902 MHz) North America
• RCZ3 (923 MHz) Japan
• RCZ4 (920 MHz) South America, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan
• Sigfox has more coverage across countries, so it is better suited for long distance mo-
nitoring.
• For more information on this technology, please visit www.sigfox.com.
Caution for proper operation:
• Products are installed according to the wiring diagram given for each product.
• For proper device functionality, it is necessary to have suffi cient coverage of the selec-
ted network at the installation site.
• At the same time, the device must be registered in the network. Successful device re-
gistration on a given network requires a charge for traffi c.
• Each network off ers diff erent tariff options - it always depends on the number of me-
ssages you want to send from your device. Information on these tariff s can be found in
the current version of the ELKO EP pricelist.
Cloud app assignment
It is done in your Smartphone application. Enter the relevant information on the product
cover into the application.
Function
After inserting the batteries, the sensor sends an introductory message.
The sensor scans the light intensity every 5 minutes. After that, it sends a data message
of measured values every 30 minutes.
