PrecisionTM Soil Sensor System

User’s Guide 

Introduction

Leveraging the same Toro soil-sensing technology used on high-end 

commercial sites and world-class golf courses, the Toro Precision™ Soil 

Sensor continuously monitors the soil moisture and determines when 

watering is actually needed – greatly increasing the efficiency of your 

sprinkler  , reducing wasteful over-watering, while promoting the over-

all health and beauty of your landscape.
The Precision Soil Sensor system consists of a wireless soil moisture 

sensor and digital receiver, making installation quick and simple. The 

compact receiver installs alongside the timer, either indoors or out, and 

connects directly to the timer’s power and sensor terminals, or simply 

taps into the valve common wire circuit. The sensor is placed in a suit-

able lawn area where it sends soil moisture and air temperature read-

ings to the receiver every 10 minutes. When automatic watering is 

scheduled to start, the Precision Soil Sensor allows the sprinklers to 

run only if the soil moisture has dropped below the minimum moisture 

setting, and the air temperature is favorable for watering.

The sensor simply plugs into the soil – so there’s no holes to dig or 

wires to bury. All you’ll need to complete the installation is a small 

Phillips screwdriver, three AA alkaline batteries and a bit of 

do-it-yourself enthusiasm. 

The Precision Soil Sensor system is designed to help grow and maintain healthy landscape vegetation while reducing water 

use by improving the operation of your sprinkler control timer. It cannot improve or remedy a sprinkler system that’s improperly 

designed, installed or maintained. So, to gain the maximum benefit afforded by the addition of the Precision Soil Sensor, it is 

vitally important to make certain your automatic sprinkler system is in good working order; capable of providing proper sprinkler 

coverage–where and when it’s needed.
