Please review Section 7, Operation, for wiring, CRBasic programming, and
Edlog programming.

4.1 Installation

1. Soak blocks in water for one hour then allow them to dry.

2. Repeat Step 1.

3. Make sensor access holes to the depth required.

4. Soak the blocks for two to three minutes.

5. Mix a slurry of soil and water to a creamy consistency and place one or

two tablespoons into the sensor access hole.
