Instrucións de funcionamento
- Preparar o chan: Ensure the soil is adequately moist. For pH and temperature measurements, it is recommended to compact the soil slightly and, if dry, water it and wait for about half an hour before testing.
- Insira a sonda: Gently insert the two probes into the soil, approximately 2/3 of their length (about 12cm or 4.7 inches). Ensure the probes are fully in contact with the soil and not just air pockets.
- Take a Measurement: Preme o "Measure" button. The device will begin analyzing the soil.
- Read the Results: After approximately 3-8 seconds, the display will show the readings for fertility, moisture, pH, temperature, sun light, and humidity.
- Unidade de temperatura do interruptor: To change the temperature unit between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), press the ° C / ° F botón.
- Eliminar e limpar: After taking your measurements, gently remove the probes from the soil. Wipe the probes clean with a soft cloth to remove any soil residue.
- Apagado: Preme o ON/OFF button to turn off the device when not in use to conserve battery life.
Nota importante:
- The soil must be compacted before testing pH value or temperature to ensure proper probe contact.
- If the soil is dry, water it and wait for about 30 minutes before measuring temperature.
- Do not force the probes into hard or rocky soil, as this may damage them.
- Do not leave the probes in the soil for extended periods.

The Voktta 6-in-1 Soil Meter provides readings for six key environmental factors. Understanding these values is crucial for maintaining healthy plant growth.
Fertilidade do solo
Measures the nutrient content in the soil, indicated in µS/cm. A higher value generally indicates more fertile soil. The device helps you balance soil fertility for optimal plant growth.
Image: Visual representation of optimal ranges for soil fertility (0-3000 µS/cm), soil moisture (0-99%), soil pH (3.5-9.0), and soil temperature (0-50°C).
Humidade do solo
Indicates the water content in the soil as a percentage. Different plants have varying moisture requirements. Ensure the soil is neither too dry nor waterlogged.
pH do solo
Measures the acidity or alkalinity of the soil on a scale from 3.5 to 9.0. Most plants thrive in a slightly acidic to neutral pH range (6.0-7.0). Adjust soil pH as needed for specific plant types.
Temperatura do solo
Displays the temperature of the soil in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Soil temperature affects root growth, nutrient uptake, and microbial activity.
Light Intensity (LUX)
Measures the amount of light available to your plants in LUX units. Different plants require different light levels for photosynthesis. Position plants appropriately based on their light needs.
Image: Visual representation of optimal ranges for light intensity (0-100000 LUX) and ambient humidity (0-99%).
Humidade Ambiental
Indicates the humidity level in the air surrounding the device. This is important for plants that prefer specific atmospheric moisture levels.
Mantemento
- Sondas limpas: Always clean the probes thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth after each use to prevent residue buildup, which can affect accuracy. Do not use water directly on the main unit or abrasive materials.
- Almacenamento: Garde o dispositivo nun lugar fresco e seco, lonxe da luz solar directa e de temperaturas extremas.
- Substitución da batería: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
- Evitar líquidos: Do not immerse the main unit in water or other liquids. The probes are designed for soil contact, but the electronic housing is not waterproof.
Resolución de problemas
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| No display or device won't turn on. | As baterías están agotadas ou están mal instaladas. | Check battery polarity and replace with new 2 x AAA batteries. |
| Inaccurate pH or temperature readings. | Soil is too loose, too dry, or probes are dirty. | Compact the soil around the probes. Water dry soil and wait 30 minutes. Clean probes thoroughly after each use. |
| Readings fluctuate or are inconsistent. | Poor contact between probes and soil, or air pockets. | Ensure probes are fully inserted and have good contact with moist soil. Avoid inserting into hard or rocky areas. |
| Device not detecting soil. | Soil is too dry or probes are not inserted deep enough. | Moisten the soil and ensure probes are inserted at least 2/3 of their length. |
