Installed PlanterThe planter cup is held in place with the snap fits. Rotate the planter cup so the flat surface is parallel with the front facing open end. |

Install Soil SensorInsert the STEMMA cable through the hole in the planter cup. The cable is inserted through inside the planter. |
|
Install Sensor PlateFit the sensor plate into the opening on the side of the planter cup. Position the plate so the mounting tabs are lined up with the mounting holes on the planter cup. |
|
Secure Sensor PlateInsert two M2.5 x 6mm long screws through the mounting holes on the planter cup. Install two M2.5 hex nuts onto the threads of the screws. Use a screw driver to fasten the screws onto the hex nuts. |

Installed Soil Sensor PlanterThe soil sensor is mounted to the planter cup with the capacitive tip being inside and the electrical components on the outside. This keeps any dirt and water away from the components on-board the soil sensor. |
