- Option with outlets for latch valves (pulses) and
minimum electric consumption. Due to its low elec-
tric consumption of the equipment and its electro-
valves, this version is very suitable for installations
which work with a battery and which have not got
diesel engines or solar panels.
- Optional distance management via SMS mes-
sages, with modem GSM/GPRS included. Also, op-
tional links to a PC or an irrigation network pro-
gram.

2. INTRODUCTION TO THE MANUAL
is a complete irrigation system whose
capacity an specifications the user and installer
should know in order to get the most out of it. For this,
we recommend a detailed reading of this manual.
The most important chapters are:
2 Introduction
4 Installation
6 Parameters
7 Use
The INTRODUCTION is where you are at this
moment and we recommend a thorough reading both
for installers and users.
The INSTALLATION is the chapter directed at the
installer who has to connect the equipment to the
other elements, which comprise the automatic irriga-
tion system.
PARAMETERS is the chapter which explains how
to configure and set up the system for the particular
needs of each installation. This is work for the installer
but it is also interesting for the user in case any pa-
rameters have to be modified after the installation of
the equipment.
The USE is the chapter aimed basically at the
user where all the instructions for programming will be
found.
Start reading the chapter which best suits you,
according to your condition of installer or user.
Before installing the unit, it should be checked to
see that it corresponds with your requirements.
This can be done by checking that the identifica-
tion labels correspond with the desired model.
To decide on the necessary model (number of
outlets), the irrigation sectors needed, the number of
fertilizers, mixers, fertilizer pump and filters which are
to be used, have to be added up.
Examples:
-
If we have 2 irrigation sectors, 1 fertilizer and 2
filters, the model 2006 is sufficient (2+1+2
=5).
-
If we have 3 sectors, 2 fertilizers, 1 mixers and
2 filters, the model 2012 is needed (3+2+1+2
=8).
The equipment has an alphanumeric screen with
40 characters, which shows: the questions that the
controller asks the user, his answers, the stored pa-
rameters and programs, the current performances, the
applied water and fertilizer quantities, the malfunctions
and incidents, etc.
It has also got a keyboard with 14 keys, which is
used to access the equipment, to configure, program,
correct, consult, erase, activate, deactivate, etc.
The keys from 0 to 9 should be pressed when-
ever it is necessary to enter a number.
The same keys also show the initials of the days
of the week and they will be used whenever it is nec-
essary to enter one day in the controller.
There are two keys with the words "YES" and
"NO" which will be pressed, in a few cases, when one
option or other has to be chosen (and when indicated
on the screen) .
There is also a key with an arrow which is used
for moving fast through the sector numbers and pro-
grams as will be explained later.
The "ENTER" key is used to confirm the validity of
the data previously entered and shown on the screen
with the cursor below it or displayed intermittently on
the screen. This key is bigger as it is used constantly.
The "VIEW" key is used to consult anomalies
stored in the controllers memory, the current state of
the inputs/outlets, etc.
The "FUN" key is used for entering into the four
basic functions of the controller: PROGRAMS (auto-
matic control by means of the programs entered),
MANUAL (control by manual orders to be carried out
immediately), PARAMETERS (configuration of the
equipment to the particular needs of the installation)
and TOTALS (access to the internal counters for the
time and volume of the water and the fertilizer ap-
plied).
