Valves’ Constants
The valves' constants include per each valve the following information:
The default dosage mode
– Defines the dosage mode that will appear at
the water dosage screen when defining a new
job of the specific valve. The possible options
are:
V –
volumetric
T –
time based
A –
volume per area
E –
evaporation
The Nominal, Minimal and Maximal flows
– the Nominal flow is the expected
flow of the valve under normal conditions, the
Minimal flow is the limit below which the flow
will be considered LOW FLOW, the Maximal
flow is the limit above which the flow will be
considered HIGH FLOW.
The filling time
– Defines the time during which the line is
getting filled with water. During this period,
flow and pressure violations are ignored.
The table to the right is accessible only
when “Dosage per area” or “Dosages by
evaporation” are enabled. It contains
the
Area
covered by each valve and the
CROP FACTOR
that represents in %
the correction factor required by the
specific crop irrigated by the valve.
