Thanks for purchasing this WH51 soil moisture
sensor. This device measures soil moisture
expressed as a percentage and humidity and
operates on one of 8 channels, meaning you can
measure eight distinct areas. The data can be
viewed on a WeatherMaster HP2550 weather
station console or can be streamed by GW1000
Wi-Fi Gateway and can be viewed on the WS View
App after configuration.

4. Setu Guide
1. Open the battery cap of the soil
moisture sensor.
2. Insert one AA battery and close battery
cap.
3. After inserting the battery, the remote
sensor LED indicator will light for 4
seconds, and then flash once per 70
second thereafter. Each time it flashes,
the sensor is transmitting data.

4. Before installing the sensor into its
permanent location, we would suggest
test the sensor in air, and see if moisture
reading is 0. Secondly, put the sensor
into a cup of water, the sensor should
have its reading increased to
90% or above. Once sensor detected a
significant data change, sensor will
transmit every 10s. Once sensor has
been confirmed working correctly, then
you can go to next step.
5. Insert the sensor totally into the soil of
your desired measurement location.
Please do not use excessive force to
push the sensor into the soil to avoid
damaging it.

5. Connecting to your WeatherMaster
The WH51 sensor does not have its own screen
and must be used with a compatible device such
as a Weather Master console or other compatible
device.
If you have never connected a WH51 to your
WeatherMaster HP2550, it should automatically
be seen by the console once data is transmitted.
For other devices such as the GW1000, please
refer to your manual for those.
Once you have connected to your WeatherMaster,
you can view the data using the WS View App.
