Setting up irrigation
control
The irrigation controls are located under the irrigation unit tile.
This tile shows
whether the unit is active and the current water flow rate (if measured).
Irrigation control consists of a number of components, including the irrigation unit
and valve group settings. The valve groups allow you to set the irrigation start
conditions and fertigation recipes for each pre-defined time period. The irrigation
program also enables you to assign irrigation valves to valve groups and it can
display detailed information about the valve and valve group activity.
4.1 Required settings
In order to activate the irrigation program, there are certain settings that must be
entered such as the irrigation quantity of each valve group and assigning valves to
valve groups. The desired EC value must also be set so the system is able to dose
fertilizers.
4.1.1
Duration and volume
The amount of water that is applied during each irrigation cycle is shown on the
settings screen for automatic irrigation
. You can set the water application in time
(duration) or in volume (provided a litre counter is present). To activate irrigation
control, at least one of these two values must be set.
