8.2. ANOMALY READINGS
The anomalies are incidences that are recorded
in the memory and which can be read at the “
Read-
ings - Anomalies
” section. In case that since the pre-
vious reading a new reading has been carried out, we
will read them at the previous section and besides
this, filtered at the “
Readings - New Anomalies
”.
The anomalies are a part of the general record
which is recorded in the memory. The anomalies and
any event the controller has done are recorded in it; all
the other records can only be seen from a PC when
the link to a PC option is installed. It has a 5000 re-
cords capacity. When they are filled, the oldest ones
start to be erased.
Each anomaly has the date and time when it
happened and a descriptive text with the values that
affect it.
With the up arrow key a previous anomaly can be
seen and with the down arrow a posterior one.
Description of each type of anomalies:
Each one of the different anomalies can activate
an output alarm, and, with the option activated, an
SMS message. In
installer settings,
the “events chart”
can be modified to include anomalies, activate alarms,
or that which sends messages to one or two tele-
phones. A configuration is provided with the unit; in
the following description the following symbols will
appear in order to indicate which of them activate
alarms and/or send messages.
[N xx]=Number linked with events chart.
[AL-x]=It
carries
out
the
activation
of
alarms
1,
2
or
3.
[MSG]=It sends an SMS message to the mobile 1.
Power cut
[N 42-43-44] [ - ] [ - ]
When there is a power cut longer than 1 minute
and shorter than 24 hours it records the date and the
time when the cut began.
General malfunction
[N 34] [AL-1] [MSG]
It is produced when the safety factor of the instal-
lation of irrigation connected to the input of general
malfunction activates and produces a definitive stop of
the controller. To cancel the definitive stop, enter in
“Function - Manual - Malfunctions”, being reactivated
the programming which is being carried out at the
same point where it stopped.
Flow malfunction
[N 33] [AL-1] [MSG]
In the flow control of the irrigation meters, an
anomaly is produced by defect or excess of the ex-
pected flow, indicating the meter and value of the flow.
Irrigation meter malfunction
[N 30] [AL-1] [MSG]
When an irrigation volumetric meter fails and
does not emit pulses, after some temporization, (if
nothing is indicated 10’), it goes into anomaly and
causes a definitive stop of the controller. Once re-
paired, enter in “Function - Manual - Malfunctions” to
reactivate at the same point where it stopped.
Fertilizer without control malfunction
[N 31] [AL-2] [MSG]
When more than 15 pulses of a fertilizer meter are
received during a time (if nothing is indicated 10’) and
there is no order to inject fertilizer, it goes into anom-
aly and causes a definitive stop of the controller. Once
repaired, enter in “Function - Manual - Malfunctions”
to reactivate at the same point where it stopped.
Fertilizer meter malfunction
[N 32] [AL-2] [MSG]
When a volumetric meter of fertilizer fails and
does not emit pulses, after some temporization (if
nothing is indicated 10’), it goes into an anomaly and
causes a temporary stop of the fertilizer in the pro-
gram being carried out (the rest of the fertilizers con-
tinue); in a new irrigation start with fertilizer it will try it
again.
Excess of fertilizer
anomaly
[N 25-26-27][AL-2] [MSG]
In irrigation with fertilization and a post-irrigation
programmed, it can be that the irrigation units arrive at
the post-irrigation and the fertilizer is still left to inject, it
will stop then to inject it and it will keep the anomaly
with the exceeding units of the different fertilizers. It
also goes into anomaly when eventually finishes an
irrigation with fertilizers.
It will carry out one independent anomaly for the
fertilizers 1 to 3, another for 4 to 6, and another for 7
and 8.
Proportional fertilization anomaly
.
[N 38] [AL-2] [MSG]
In the application of fertilizer proportional to the ir-
rigation, it goes into anomaly and the program which
is being carried out stops the fertilization when, after
three consecutive times the irrigation units of the pro-
portion finish before the fertilizers ones.
Filter cleaning without control anomaly
[N 37] [AL-1] [MSG]
When one cleaning after another is completed in
a number configured at “Parameters - Filters” [6.2.], it
is an anomaly and stops cleaning until it is restarted at
“Function - Manual - Malfunctions”.
Intrusion alarm anomaly
[N 35] [AL-1] [MSG]
An intrusion has been detected at the installation.
Error in memory anomaly
[N 45] [ - ] [ - ]
When an erroneous value is detected in the me-
mory, a complete erasure is made and the anomaly is
recorded (very exceptional case).
Temporary stop anomaly
[N 21] [ - ] [MSG]
The security element of the installation connected
to the digital sensor input with stop function or a pro-
gram determining factor has detected a process which
