cycle in order for the soil moisture sensor to record the soil
moisture.

Watering cycle = Prog 12 (Watering throughout the day)
Watering duration = 40 minutes.
Watering begins when the sensor registers dry (Sensor ON)
during the day (between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.) and ends up to
40 minutes later depending on the amount of moisture in the soil.
The watering duration is preset to 30 minutes at the factory.
