A Soil Moisture: Water content present in the soil
• Value is displayed by default when no buttons are pressed or held.
• Soil moisture level is displayed as volumetric, ranging from 0.0 to 50.0.
B Sensor Update:
• Brief button press: Causes the biSensor to take a moisture reading.
• Hold button: Displays current Moisture Threshold value. See below for
operation.
C Bypass: Allows the sprinkler timer to operate without interruption from the
S100. Bypass mode is indicated by a periodic flashing of “OFF” on the S100
display.
• Brief button press: Toggle the Bypass function. When enabled the Allow
Water light should turn on.
• Hold button: Holding the Bypass button for 2 seconds displays the current
Cycle Window duration. Use (+)/(-) buttons while holding Bypass to change
the Cycle Window to a value between 0 and 24 hours. Default is 12 hours.
D Moisture Threshold: Soil moisture value at which the S100 will allow watering.
• While “Sensor Update” button is being held, use (+)/(-) buttons to change
the moisture threshold.
E Cycle Window: The cycle window is the time allowed to complete a water
cycle once your soil moisture has reached your soil moisture threshold.
F Valve Active: This light indicates that the valve the biSensor is attached to
is currently active (watering).
G Allow Water: This light indicates that the S100 is allowing your sprinkler timer
to water based upon its user defined settings (the system will begin watering
at the next start time programmed on the sprinkler timer).
H Wire Harness: Wires are attached from the sprinkler timer to the S100 here.
Setup Operations: Calibration Cycle (for initial installation or biSensor repositioning)
• Hold the (+)(-) and (Bypass) buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The screen
will flash between “CAL” “24 H” and the current moisture reading. The “24
H” will count down on the hour until the calibration is complete. Watering
is paused during this time.
Communication Test: The S100 communicates with the biSensor for about two
minutes, checking for any potential errors.
• Hold the (+)(-) and (Sensor Update) buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
