1. Initiate the Reset Process
Locate the green activation tab and reattach it to the white magnetic section on the soil sensor.
Keep the activation tab in place for at least 30 seconds to properly initiate the reset.
This step ensures the device fully resets and is ready for operation.
2. Remove the Activation Tab
After waiting a minimum of 30 seconds, carefully detach the activation tab from the sensor.
Store the activation tab safely, as it is required for any future resets.
3. Allow the Sensor to Acclimate
After removing the activation tab, allow the sensor to stabilize by exposing it to open air for approximately 5 minutes.
Light Indicators & What They Mean
During this time, the sensor will display a series of light patterns:
Blue Light → Initial startup.
Blinking White Light → Sensor is calibrating.
Steady Green Light → Sensor is successfully connected.
Blinking Green Lights (1–8 flashes) → Indicates signal strength (more blinks = stronger signal).
No Light → The sensor is fully reset and ready to use.
Red or Magenta Blinking Light → Signifies an unsuccessful connection attempt.
4. Addressing Signal Issues
If the sensor displays a red or magenta light, it indicates a signal strength issue.
Troubleshooting Steps
Repeat the reset process up to two or three times to attempt resolution.
If the red light persists, relocate the sensor to a different position with better signal strength.
Try a Location Quality Test.
Ensure the sensor is not obstructed by objects or placed in an area with interference.
Final Tips
Keep the activation tab for future resets.
Monitor the light indicators to check the sensor’s status.
Position the sensor in an optimal location to maintain a strong signal.
By following these steps, you can successfully reset your soil sensor and troubleshoot any connectivity issues.
