Operation

1. Unscrew measuring head.
2. Soak plastic tube with ceramic tip in water for at least 5 minutes. Do not immerse the unscrewed measuring head in water!
3. Fill the plastic tube with clean tap water; the water level must be slightly below the lip.
4. Screw measuring head back on as far as it will go.
5. Turn the Blumat Digital clockwise into the soil in the outer part of the root. Then, press down the soft soil slightly in freshly repotted plants. Dig a suitable hole in case of dense rooting or in very hard soil. Fill the hole halfway up with loose earth and water. Then insert the Blumat Digital, fill the hole with soil and press down.
6. A measurement can be taken after 2 to 3 hours. Tap the button once - the measurement will be displayed for 10 seconds in mbar.

For newly repotted plants, insert the cone directly into the soft soil always rotating to the right and then press the soil down slightly.

In case of dense root growth or very hard soil, pierce a suitable hole in the outer part of the root. Fill the hole halfway up with loose earth and water. Then insert the Blumat Digital rotating to the right, fill the hole with soil and press down.
