Description
“A” Series Automatic Switches are designed for use on
Irrometer instruments and provide direct switching capabilities in addition to indicating soil moisture status. Soil water tension readings greater than the
moisture set point can activate an irrigation valve solenoid, time clock or
warning device. A switch mechanism is mounted on the tee fitting between the
gauge and the instrument body and can be adjusted to the desired set point.
The gauge reads in centibars (cb) or kilopascals (kPa) of soil water tension.
