follow this same pattern. Each target for each Crop Age Day can be viewed in this Mode.
Increasing Targets within a Crop Age Target Group will reduce the amount of water the
crop receives as the crop ages. Decreasing Targets will increase the amount of water as the
crop ages.
If setting up an Increasing Target Crop Age, Too Low and Too High messages will flash
on the unit when adjusting the midpoint targets if the target being adjusted is lower than
the previous midpoint target or higher than the next midpoint target. This is just an
indicator to assist in setting up targets. Even though the message (Too Low or Too High)
might flash, the unit will accept whatever target is entered.
If setting up a Decreasing Target Crop Age, Too High and Too Low messages will flash on
the unit when adjusting the midpoint targets if the target being adjusted is higher than the
previous midpoint target or lower than the next midpoint target. This is just an indicator to
assist in setting up targets. Even though the message (Too High or Too Low) might flash,
the unit still accepts whatever target is entered.
SET DISABLE TARGET GROUPS
This Mode is used to set up the nighttime Disables. Set up to four different groups. When
setting up a group that is attached to a misting station, the misting station will disable for
the amount of time called for in the Disable Group prior to Sunrise. When attaching the
Disable Group to an irrigation station, the irrigation station will disable for the amount of
time called for in the Disable Group prior to Sunset. No matter what type of station
(misting or irrigation) is disabled, the disable will last until the next Sunrise. The midpoints
for a Disable Group can be adjusted just as the midpoints for a Crop Age Group. Each
disable target for each Disable day can be viewed in this Mode.
SET ALARMS
This Mode is used to set up Alarms. Alarms will activate a warning if environmental
conditions in the greenhouse exceed the chosen parameters. Both High and Low Alarms
can be set. The WATER PRO can be connected to an existing external alarming system
(Sensaphone, bell, light, etc...). A dry relay hookup for the alarm system is provided on the
termination board in the bottom of the WATER PRO. The dry relay for the alarm can also
be used to warn when a crop-aging program has finished.
CALIBRATE
This Mode is used to calibrate the VPD Sensors. When calibrating Air Temperature, the
calibration procedure should be done using a reliable thermometer, out of direct solar
influence. Use a wet bulb/dry bulb or a sling Hygrometer to calibrate the Relative
Humidity. The Relative Humidity Sensor is accurate in a range from 0 to 100% plus or
minus 2% acceptable error. The Temperature Sensor is accurate in a range from 0 to 120°
F plus or minus 1° F acceptable error.
END OF SCHEDULE WARNING
This Mode will activate when a CROP AGE has finished on one of the stations. The LED
Light will activate and blink when a Crop Age has finished.
