In order to install the unit, it is necessary to enter
in the section of “Parameters” to adapt it to the par-
ticular necessities of each installation. Press “FUN”
(functions) and choose the function by its number (4).
Then press “Enter".

6.1. FERTILIZATION PARAMETERS
Of the 8 possible fertilizers, the ones which are
going to work have to be configured. It has to be also
defined if the fertilization will be in
series
[1] (apply
one fertilizer after the other),
parallel
[2] (apply several
at a time) or
uniform
[3] (several at a time in efficient
distribution).
Fertilizers number ( 0 – 8 ) : 3
Appl. serial-1 parallel-2 uniform-3 : 1
In series or parallel modes, the continuous or
proportional application of the irrigation units can be
configured.
As shown in the picture above, the
continuous
fertilization
applies each one of the fertilizers for the
total of the programmed value once its addition starts.
When the series fertilization is programmed the totality
is applied before the next one. They are applied at a
time and in its totality when it is programmed in paral-
lel. They stop when the programmed units in one of
them finish. Look at the explicative drawings.
The
proportional fertilization
consists in apply-
ing each type of fertilizer not one after the other but in
several activations, with doses which will maintain a
prefixed proportionality in relation to the amount of
water circulating.
Fertilization proportional (Y/N) : Y.
If the proportional modality is chosen, at the se-
ries application format
will ask for the proportions for
each one of the fertilizers and at the irrigation pro-
grams, the total quantity of water and fertilizer to be
applied to the crop will be programmed.
Proportion series :
F1 005/012 F2 005/014 F3 005/009 F4 010/002
For example, the proportion “010/002” corre-
sponds to 10 irrigation units per each 2 fertilizer units.
These units can be in time (hours: minutes, minutes’
seconds’’) or in volume (m
3
, L, dl, cl), in relation to the
units each sub-program has.
At the parallel fertilization modality it does not ask
here for the proportions of the different fertilizers, but it
does for each one of the irrigation programs.
