Introduction
What you need
Step 1
Gather materials
- PCB RR02 or higher ‘coated
- Sigrow Soil Sensor
- (Top left to bottom right) Case Body +, hat +, solar, bottom inner plate +, fan holder.
- Sunon Fan 5VDC
- Solar panel 110x80
- Tools (top-left to bottom right) : tin, soldering station, flat head screw driver, cable peeler, pliers glue gun (optional).
- Cable double insulaton: +6 wires, 20 cm

Step 2
Prepare cable solar panel to PCB
- Cable length is aprox 20-22 cm
- Peel both ends, keep the non-peeled part short
- Group them, twist and solder them together
- On the opposite side you will only keep two colours: black and yellow

Step 3
Solder cable solar panel
- Solder
- Remove the plastic sheet
- Slide solar panel in parasol

Step 4
Fan mount
- Insert fan in fan holder
- Pay attention to the fan air flow direction, it should be upwards

Step 5
Peripherals
- From top to bottom:
- Solar Panel mounted and with cable soldered (side with Sigrow letters)
- Fan (cable enters from bottom)
- Soil Sensor (cable enters from Sigrow 3 circles logo side)

Step 6
Attach fan holder to main case+
- Fan holder should be inserted in main body case by pressure
- If there’s not a tight fit there are 2 options:
- Option 1: Request a new fan holder
- Option 2: Use the hot glue gun.
- tight fit could be interpreted as: “if with very hard shaken the fan holder and main case will not disconnect and stay solidly attached.’

Step 7
Bottom inner plate
- Rectangular gap (for temperature humidity sensor) goes slightly in the left.
- Bottom right tiny circular hole is for the fan cables

Step 8
Confirm orientation
- Sigrow 3 circles side-> Soil Sensor
- Letter side -> Solar panel

Step 9
Soil Sensor connection
- Insert cables into connector, check in 3rd image in this step that the ports are open
- Use pliers to cut white cable

Step 10
Solder fan cables
- Black ground
- Red positive
- Cut with pliers cable excess from behind

Step 11
Solder solar panel cables to pcb
- Cables enter from the back of the PCB
- Yellow is positive
- Black is negative (closer to the edge)
- Cut with pliers cable and tin excess
- Soldering station is very hot, dont touch it with your hands

Step 12
Insert PCB in case - Cable details
- It’s great to leave some extra cables in good shape
- ~10 cm for the soil sensor bended as inverted-U
- Twist the fan cable (it’s very long) and bend as inverted-U
- if PCB doesn’t slide down with a gentle push or slides out too easy when case is upside down new case should be requested.

Step 13
Closing the case
- After sliding PCB in, connect the solar parasol and the hat +
- If the fit is not great inform Sigrow senior technician
