- Turn your controller into a smart controller.
- Suspend your watering schedule based on current soil moisture.
- Accurate readings in all conditions.
The Rain Bird SMRT-Y Soil Moisture Sensor offers more control over your irrigation system by ensuring you never water when you don't have to. Suspended in the soil this sensor will suspend your watering schedule when its programmed threshold is met ensuring your system is always efficient.
Product Features
- Adds closed-loop feedback to irrigation systems, conserving water through on-off system control based on digital measurement of the soil's volumetric water content. The sensor takes soil moisture readings every 10 minutes. When the sensor detects dry conditions prior to the normal watering cycle, that cycle is allowed. When the soil is above the set moisture threshold, the watering cycle is suspended to avoid wasting water.
- Typical water savings of 40% or more.
- Precisely measures and displays soil temperature and electrical conductivity (EC)
- Corrosion-resistant in-ground sensor made of high-grade 304 stainless steel.
- No maintenance sensor “ just bury and forget.
- Moisture readings remain stable as soil salinity and temperature change.
- The sensor never needs calibration.
- Touchpad keys with digital LCD readout to display:
- Absolute Volumetric Water Content, 0-100%
- Soil temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius
- Soil conductivity in dS/m
- Seven-cycle irrigation history
- Suspended/allowed watering indicator
- Bypass mode indicator
- Automatic moisture threshold setting with increase/decrease adjustment.
- Sensor bypass touchpad key for easy deactivation.
- Up to two independent zones can be isolated from the sensor.
- Designed for outdoor installation.
