Specifications
Soil-Clik is a soil moisture system that prevents overwatering when the soil is wet. Soil-Clik is designed for use with Hunter controllers that have normally-closed smart sensor
-
Choosing the Probe Location
The moisture sensing Soil-Clik probe must be installed within 1000 ft (300 m) of the Soil-Clik module, using 18 AWG (1 mm2) Direct Burial (UF) wire. Choosing the Zone Install
-
Connecting the Probe to the Module
Use only 18 AWG (1 mm2) or larger direct burial rated wire, up to 1000 ft (300 m) from the module. Note: Avoid high voltage lines or other sources of electrical interference
Connecting Module

Module Location
The Soil-Clik module is designed for outdoor installation when necessary. However, electronics will benefit from a protected location when practical. Mount within 6 ft (2 m) of

Using Soil-Clik with Solar Sync®
When paired together, the Hunter Solar Sync and Soil-Clik make the ultimate smart irrigation solution for your sprinkler system. Solar Sync adjusts run times for weather
Programming
-
LCD Screen Callouts
Soil-Clik is used to set a desired moisture level. The level may be changed with the + and - buttons. When the desired moisture has been reached, Soil-Clik will interrupt
-
Operation
The bar steps in the display represent centibars of soil water tension on a scale of 10 to 100. High numbers indicate dry soil, or soil from which it is very difficult for plants
Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
Problem Plants are too dry. Cause Moisture level setting too low. Sensor in wrong location.
