• If your run time is too short, not enough water is applied to the location and the sensor cannot detect a slowdown in the
response curve. If the run time is not long enough to fill the soil to field capacity, the calibration will fail.
• If you are using Water Strategy 3 or 4, the Auto Calibration option is not available on the Automatic Zone and Sensor
Management window.
For more information, refer to Adjusting Programming with biSensors on page 41, and refer to the Graphs section on page 92
for information about reading and interpreting the soil moisture graphs. When the graph displays, you have many different
tools for changing how the graph looks. Refer to Adjusting the Data View on a Graph on page 93 for details.
1. Click the Adjust Zone (1) tab on the Main Page.
2. Click the Graph (2) button for the auto zone that you want to calibrate. The
Automatic Zone and Sensor Management window opens.
Note: When you adjust the auto zone, the new settings will be applied to all zones
that are linked to it.
3. Select the Auto Calibration (3) check box. If you are using
Water Strategy 3 or 4, this check box is unavailable.
4. Click Return (4) to close the window.
Quick Adjustments
After the system has been running, it is possible to make quick adjustments without having to manually adjust the moisture
levels. You can use preconfigured settings to have the system react to a “Too Wet”, “OK”, or “Too Dry” situation.
1. Click the Adjust Zone (1) tab on the Main Page.
2. Click the Graph (2) button for the auto zone that you want to adjust. The Automatic
Zone and Sensor Management window opens.
Note: When you adjust the auto zone, the new settings will be applied to all zones
that are linked to it.
3. In the Adjustments and Centering group box, click the button that matches the
situation:
• If the system is over watering or the ground is too wet, click the Too Wet
(3)
button. The system lowers the turn-on and turn-off thresholds, which
effectively dries out the zone.
• If the system is running correctly, click the OK (4) button. The system sets the
limits to maintain the current moisture profile as shown in the moisture graphs.
