Wstęp
The Splenssy 6-in-1 Soil Tester is a versatile tool designed to help you monitor the health of your soil and optimize plant growth. This device provides accurate readings for six key parameters: soil moisture, fertility, pH level, temperature, ambient humidity, and light intensity. Its 90-degree rotatable display and backlit LCD ensure clear readability in various conditions.
Understanding these soil conditions is crucial for effective gardening, whether for indoor plants, outdoor gardens, lawns, or farms. This manual provides detailed instructions for setting up, operating, and maintaining your soil tester to ensure accurate and reliable results.

Informacje dotyczące bezpieczeństwa i środki ostrożności
- Do not insert the metal probe into very hard soil or other hard objects to prevent damage to the probe.
- This product is designed exclusively for testing soil. Do not use it for testing pure water or other liquids.
- Avoid leaving the probe inserted in soil for extended periods to prevent corrosion and maintain data accuracy.
- Always clean the probe thoroughly after each use to ensure it remains in a clean state.
- Soil test data may vary at different depths. For best results, take multiple readings and average the data.
- When testing soil fertility or pH, ensure the soil is moist.

2. Initial pH Calibration (Optional but Recommended)
For optimal pH accuracy, perform a 0-point calibration:
- Thoroughly clean the probe.
- Press and hold the "Measure" button until the soil indicator light illuminates.
- Once the flashing stops, release the "Measure" button to complete the pH 0 calibration.
Instrukcja obsługi
Ogólne kroki pomiaru:
- Włączanie: Press the "ON/OFF" button to turn on the device. The backlit LCD will illuminate.
- Przygotuj glebę: Ensure the soil is moist enough for accurate readings, especially for pH and fertility tests. Remove any large debris or rocks from the testing area.
- Włóż sondę: Gently insert the metal probes vertically into the soil to the desired depth (approximately 7.1 inches or 180mm, up to the base of the plastic housing). Avoid forcing the probes into hard soil.
- Przeczytaj: Press the "Measure" button. The device will display readings for all six parameters within approximately 3 seconds.
- Odczyt danych: Observe the values on the backlit display. The display can be rotated 90 degrees for easier viewing.
- Usuń sondę: Carefully withdraw the probes from the soil.
- Wyczyść sondę: Immediately clean the probes after use (see Maintenance section).
- Wyłączone: Press the "ON/OFF" button to turn off the device, or it will automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.
Specific Parameter Guidance:
Pomiar wilgotności
The device displays soil moisture as a percentage (0-99%). Refer to the general measurement steps. Different plants have varying moisture requirements. The display provides a clear indication of current moisture levels.
Image: The soil tester showing a moisture reading of 65%, accompanied by a color-coded scale indicating different moisture levels from dry to wet.
Fertility Measurement
The fertility reading helps assess nutrient levels in the soil. Ensure the soil is adequately moist for accurate fertility readings. Adjust fertilization based on the results to promote healthy plant growth.

Pomiar pH
The pH value (3.5-9) indicates the acidity or alkalinity of the soil. Ensure the soil is moist for accurate pH readings. If you performed the optional pH calibration during setup, your readings will be more precise.
Pomiar temperatury
The device measures soil temperature (0-50°C / 32-122°F). Use the "°C/°F" button to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit units as preferred.
Pomiar wilgotności
This refers to the ambient humidity around the device, displayed as a percentage (0-99%).
Pomiar światła
The photoreceptor on the device measures ambient light intensity (0-100000 LUX). Position the device to ensure the photoreceptor is exposed to the light conditions you wish to measure.
Konserwacja
Czyszczenie sond:
- After each use, gently wipe the metal probes with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soil residue.
- Ensure the probes are completely dry before storing the device.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the main body of the device in water.
Składowanie:
- Store the soil tester in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Jeżeli urządzenie nie będzie używane przez dłuższy czas, należy wyjąć baterie, aby zapobiec wyciekowi.
Rozwiązywanie problemów
| Problem | Możliwa przyczyna | Rozwiązanie |
|---|---|---|
| Urządzenie nie włącza się. | Baterie są rozładowane lub nieprawidłowo zainstalowane. | Sprawdź biegunowość baterii; wymień je na nowe baterie AAA. |
| Niedokładne lub wahające się odczyty. | Probes are dirty; soil is too dry; probe damaged; multiple readings not averaged. | Clean probes thoroughly; moisten soil before testing; ensure probes are not damaged; take multiple readings and average. |
| Probe difficult to insert into soil. | Soil is too hard or compacted. | Do not force the probe. Loosen the soil gently before insertion, or choose a softer testing spot. |
| Wyświetlacz jest słaby lub nieczytelny. | Low battery; extreme lighting conditions. | Replace batteries; use the backlit feature in low light; avoid direct harsh sunlight on the display. |
