03 FUNCTIONS OF THE ICONTROL BASIC
03.5
Auto-Stop
_
The Auto-Stop function is an inherent feature of Auto-Reverse.
In those positions ( , ) the pivot will stop at its barrier.
03.6
Percentage timer
_
This timer is used to regulate the speed of advance of the pivot, determining in turn the depth of water to be applied per cycle.
For a given amount of water, the depth applied will be inversely proportional to the speed. The faster the pivot cycle, the lighter the
application.
To regulate the overall speed of the machine, the operating time of the last tower motor is controlled over a period of 60
seconds.
For instance, with the timer set to 100%, the last tower will move continuously. On the other hand, if set to 50%, the last tower motor
will come on for 30 seconds (50% of one minute) and go off for 30 more. Thus, the machine will take twice as long to accomplish one
cycle in the field, compared with a timer setting of 100%.
It should be remembered that the water application capacity of the unit is not determined by the motor speed but by the instantaneous
flow rating of the system.
03.7
Irrigation Control
_
The iControlStandard panel has a switch to control the irrigation of the pivot. The switch position options available are:
The pivot will move without watering.
Irrigation position. The machine will water when it is started, and will stop if the pressure falls too low.
Fertigation position. When the pivot is started, it will operate with water and fertilizer. It will stop if the pressure is insufficient.
WARNING: Take great care in handling chemical products when using fertilizers or pesticides with the machine.
WARNING: Do not use the fertigation system if the machine is not working with its full water flow.
NOTE: If controlling irrigation using iControlRemote, leave the panel switch set to so the machine can be moved empty.
