INSTALLATION MANUAL
ON-SITE PREPARATIONS
The water distribution system
For the setup of the water distribution system the following components should be installed
(according to the mode of the FertiKit™):
Components of the water distribution system
Item
Specifications
16
Manual valve (isolation) To be installed at the inlet and at the outlet of the FertiKit™, for use during
system maintenance.
17
Main line
pressure sustaining
valve (PSV)
To be installed on the main line downstream from the FertiKit
TM
and able
to sustain a constant pressure at the outlet of the FertiKit™, regardless of
pressure changes in the field. Should be calibrated to 3-4 bars (43-58 PSI)
for most projects.
18
Irrigation valve
Controllable.
19
Water meter
With electrical pulses. The pulse should be as short as possible according
to the main line diameter and the controller's limitations.
(See
Flow meter recommended pulse rate
below)
20
Main line filter
≤ 130 µm (≥ 120 mesh).
21
Main line pump
Suitable for the required pressure and flow rate according to the mode of
the FertiKit
TM
and the field requirements (Ensure stable pressure).
22
Main line
pressure reducing valve
(PRV)
In the
PB
,
PL
or
MX
mode - Should be installed on the main line, between
the main line filters and the water meter and be able to reduce the main
line pressure as specified for
modes
(pages 10/12/24).
In
PD
mode only - Should be installed on the main line, between the inlet
and the outlet of the FertiKit
TM
and be able to reduce the main line pressure
as specified for the
(page 22).
23
Sampling outlet
In
PD
mode only - Should be installed on the main line, downstream from
the FertiKit's outlet (in all other modes the sampling outlet is built-in).
24
Saddle fitting
In
PD
mode only - Should be installed on the main line, downstream from the
FertiKit's outlet, equipped with an outlet suitable for the EC/pH sampling tube.
25
Command tube
In
PD
mode only - Should connect the saddle fitting to the EC/pH sampling
tube.
CAUTION
For
PL
,
MS
and
MX
modes only:
Since EC and pH sensors must never be exposed to pressure greater than 6 bars (87 PSI),
if EC and pH sensors are present on the FertiKit™ and the main line pressure is higher than 5 bars
(72 PSI), a 1½" PRV must be installed on the main line, upstream from the FertiKit™, reducing the
pressure to 5 bars (72 PSI).
