These parameters are soil specific and grouped as “soil profiles”. The

HydroSense II holds up to 10 soil profiles labeled “SOIL 1” through “SOIL

10”.

Some soil profiles are preset to default values. These values may be used or

overwritten as desired, but take care to record what soil type is used for each

profile. The default soil profiles are described in TABLE 6-1, Default Soil

Profiles.
