Instrucțiuni de operare

To ensure accurate readings, follow these steps carefully for each measurement type. Always clean the probes before and after each use.

1. Moisture Measurement

1. Set the switch on the device to the "MOIST" position.
2. Insert the metal probes into the soil up to the root level of the plant, ensuring both probes are fully submerged. Avoid touching stones or hard objects.
3. Wait approximately 60 seconds for the needle to stabilize.
4. Read the moisture level on the dial. The scale typically ranges from 1 (DRY) to 10 (WET).
5. Remove the probes and clean them thoroughly.

2. Măsurarea pH-ului

1. Set the switch on the device to the "pH" position.
2. Insert the metal probes into the soil up to the root level of the plant. Ensure the soil is slightly moist for accurate pH readings. If the soil is dry, water it and wait 30 minutes before testing.
3. Wait approximately 60 seconds for the needle to stabilize.
4. Read the pH level on the dial. The scale typically ranges from 3 (ACIDIC) to 10 (ALKALINE).
5. Remove the probes and clean them thoroughly.

3. Light Measurement

1. Set the switch on the device to the "LIGHT" position.
2. Point the light sensor (located on the top of the device) towards the light source. The probes do not need to be inserted into the soil for this measurement.
3. Read the light intensity on the dial. The scale typically ranges from 0 (DARK) to 2000 (LIGHT).
4. No cleaning of probes is required after light measurement.

Întreţinere

• curatenie: After each use, wipe the metal probes clean with a soft, damp cloth to remove any soil particles or residue. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the entire unit in water.
• Depozitare: Store the soil tester in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the probes protected to prevent damage.
• Probe Condition: Regularly inspect the probes for any signs of corrosion or damage. Damaged probes may affect accuracy.

Depanare

Problem: Inaccurate or no reading for moisture/pH.

Soluţie:

• Ensure the probes are clean. Residue can interfere with conductivity.
• Make sure the probes are fully inserted into the soil, reaching the root level.
• For pH readings, ensure the soil is adequately moist. If dry, water the soil and wait 30 minutes before retesting.
• Avoid inserting probes into very hard or rocky soil, which can damage them or prevent proper contact.
• Wait the recommended 60 seconds for the needle to stabilize.

Problem: Needle fluctuates excessively.

Soluţie:

• Ensure the probes are firmly inserted and not loose in the soil.
• Check for air pockets around the probes. Gently press the soil around the probes to ensure good contact.

Problem: Light reading seems incorrect.

Soluţie:

• Ensure the light sensor on top of the device is not obstructed and is pointed directly at the light source.
• Test in different lighting conditions to confirm functionality.
