Acclaima SCX Soil Moisture Sensor
and irrigation override controller.

Conserve water with precision irrigation, upgrade your controller with the power of Digital TDT® moisture sensors.

The SCX works with your existing electric valve irrigation timer, incorporating cutting edge moisture sensing technology to prevent over watering. A timer or clock has traditionally governed automated irrigation control systems. Day in and day out, rain or shine, these clocks faithfully water our landscapes.

However, because they water according to time, and not according to the level of moisture in the soil, they waste a tremendous amount of water. The SCX comes with one Acclima Digital TDT® Soil Moisture Sensor and supports most existing timed systems.

The SCX has the ability to set, maintain and monitor any desired moisture level. It also includes a Sensor Bypass mode allowing the traditional timed controller to run as if the SCX were not present. In this mode the SCX will continue to take moisture readings, but will not inhibit the timer from watering.

The weatherproof cabinet is suitable for outdoor installation. The SCX overcomes the problem of chronic over watering through use of the Acclima Digital TDT® Soil Moisture Sensor. The sensor measures soil moisture content every 10 minutes and will only allow a water cycle when the moisture drops below a “turn on” threshold that you have set, suspending water cycles until your turf needs it. During the hottest part of the year, soil moisture is depleted more rapidly and the system will water more frequently. Then when the temperature cools, or if you get a big rainstorm, the system will inhibit watering until the moisture level in the ground falls below the “turn on” threshold. The SCX provides a history of the last seven irrigation attempts.

Water Savings: Installing a Closed Loop® Acclima irrigation system will typically result in water savings of 40% or more. Thus, the system pays for itself in a very short time, and your landscaping will look great.  Perfect for low impact development areas or anywhere water is being conserved. Highly studied at major turfgrass universities around the country, this unit is heralded as 'research grade moisture sensing technology' now available to homeowners.  Never irrigate again unless the turf grass needs it!
