To use the function of irrigation by soil sensor according to the measured Volumetric Water Content (VWC):
- When setting an Irrigation Treatment, select "Sensor" from the "Close valve by" options.
- Select the wanted sensor from the "Sensor Name" dropdown (TER11/TER12/5TE/etc).
- Select the wanted parameter of the sensor - the parameter for VWC is "DielectricRawData" for TEROS11/12 sensors and DIELEC for 5TE/5TM sensors.
- Select the correct "Sensor ID" according to the port that the sensor is physically connected to (the letters A, B, C, D are marked on the four digital ports on the controller).
- Select the "Value" - Choose the trigger value for the selected parameter. Use the Soil Sensors' VWC Calibration Curves to find the wanted raw value that corresponds to the desired VWC value.
- Select the "Direction" - the valve will close when a higher value than the selected value is reached (more than) or when a lower value than the selected value is reached (less than).
