Note: When installing the biSensor connect it to the most convenient
valve. This connection is used for communication.

Step 1
biSensor Placement
When planning the biSensor location, take into account variables such as sprinkler patterns,
distribution uniformity, sun exposure and soil type, or other site specific characteristics that
may affect water holding capacity or the rate at which plants use water.
The location of the biSensor will determine how frequently your sprinkler system is allowed to water. If the
biSensor is placed in an area that is generally wetter than average it will cause your system to
operate less frequently, possibly causing dry spots. If the biSensor is placed in an area that
receives less than average water it will cause the system to operate more frequently.
Baseline biSensor placement recommendations
● Place the biSensor midway between two heads (should only receive water from one
zone).
● Place the biSensor in an area that receives average to slightly below average water.
● Keep away from sidewalks and driveways to avoid water from car washing or other
factors.
The illustration to the

shadow and runoff
areas in Red and ideal
locations in Light
Green. Avoid Red areas
when installing your
biSensor. Dark green
areas with some
shadow can be used as
a secondary location.
