Under normal use the display will show the current depth at the top line. The next line shows the operation mode of the soil sampler / what the soil
sampler is currently doing - “probe up”, “probe down”, “rotation” or “ready” when the sampling process has ended.
There is a counter at the bottom on the right which counts the number of sticks in each sample. The counter can be reset to 0 by pressing
“RESET”. You can get access to this function from the start screen, and then press the arrow down key.
You can also see the total amount of sticks taken. This value cannot be reset.

Press “MENU” to adjust the depth and / or the number of sticks for each sample.
You can shift between settings by using the arrow up and arrow down keys.
The settings can be adjusted by holding the “MENU” key down until the number of the display flashes. Then adjust the figure by using the
arrow up or the arrow down keys. When you have entered the preferred number, press “MENU” (enter) again, and the setting is saved.

Adjusting the depth
Go to the “Setup Menu”. Scroll down until the “Depth” appears on the display. Adjust the depth by using the arrow up and down keys.
Once the correct depth is set, press “MENU”. The setting is now saved and will appear on the start screen.
Number of samples
Go to the “Setup Menu”. Scroll down until the “Samples per box” appears on the display. “Samples per box” is the number of sticks you
need for each sample. Determine the number of sticks for each sample by using the arrow keys (arrow up for rising the numbers, arrow
down for lowering the numbers).
When the soil sampler has taken the entered number of sticks, it will not take another sample before you press “RESET”for a few seconds.
By entering the number 99, you can disable this function, and the soil sampler will sample indefinitely.
5. ROTATION
Rotation stop
To make sure that the probe stops at the correct angle every time, you need to adjust the “Rotation stop height”. This is the point where
the soil sampler gets the signal to stop rotation to make sure that the probe is in the right position before it reaches the soil box. This setting
will differ according to the soil sampler, the hydraulics and the soil conditions.
Go to the “Setup Menu”. Scroll down to “Rotation stop height” and adjust the number with the arrow keys.

Rotation mode
The standard setting of the soil sampler is that the probe goes down, rotates once and then goes up again. If you press the key with the
rotation symbol, the LED of the key will light up. The probe will now carry out an extra rotation before going up. If you hold the key with the
rotation symbol down for five seconds, the LED will blink slowly, and the probe will not carry out an extra rotation.
6. MANUAL USE OF THE SOIL SAMPLER
If you press the “MANUAL” key with the green letters, you can access all functions in green letters at the flip switches (“probe up”, “probe
down” and” rotation”) manually.
