Defining Irrigation Programs
Irrigation programs are defined in 3 steps:
1.
Defining the
IRRIGATION SEQUENCE
which specifies the sequence of
valves to be irrigated by the program.
2.
Defining the
WATER DOSAGE
and
FERTILIZER DOSAGE
per each
member of the sequence.
3.
Defining the
IRRIGATION TIMING
of the program, when the program will
be activated. Sometimes instead of irrigation timing programs will be
activated by conditions.
When only the first step is defined the program is considered NOT READY, it cannot
be activated, but after completing the second step, the program is considered
INCOMPLETE, it will not start automatically, but it can be manually started. For a
program to be ready for automatic start, step 3 must be completed as well.
2.1
The Irrigation Sequence definition
Any irrigation program’s definition starts with defining the sequence of valves to be
irrigated by the program. For a new program definition, the cursor must be located
at the program number field and then, pushing the function key
F3 = “Progs”
enables execution of commands related with programs editing. Select the option
“New”
, the system will respond by suggesting the next free number for the new
program, the suggested number can be accepted or changed.
The sequence of valves can now be inserted. To indicate the end of the sequence
definition, use the
ENT
key.
