Soil moisture sensor-controlled watering
Condition: the GARDENA Soil Moisture Sensor Art. 1188 is
connected. With the Rain Sensor, soil-moisture sensor-control-
led watering is not possible.

the soil moisture sensor registers dry.
Night Watering during the night (8 p.m. – 6 a.m.) when
the soil moisture sensor registers dry.

Watering starts in the set watering cycle as soon as the soil
moisture sensor registers dry
(Sensor ON)
.
The watering duration is preset to 30 minutes at the factory.
The watering duration set in the sensor-controlled watering mode
also applies to manual watering.
In the case of soil moisture sensor-controlled watering, a
two hour watering pause is triggered after every watering
cycle in order for the soil moisture sensor to record the soil
moisture.
Example:
Watering cycle = (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.
