Page 8: Description
The FERTIKIT 3G is a fully configurable, highly cost-effective solution for precise Nutrigation The FERTIKIT 3G maximizes the usage of available water flow rates and pressures on the main irrigation line ensuring the highest efficiency with minimum investment. The FERTIKIT 3G can operate under various modes and accommodate a variety of dosing channels, dosing boosters, controllers, peripherals and accessories to meet a vast range of applications and infrastructure constraints. -
Page 9: Basic Functions
FERTIKIT booster pump creates the pressure differential to drive the dosing channels. Service Servicing the FERTIKIT 3G is a prompt and simple process. The dealer keeps a small quantity of interchangeable components on hand, for replacement on site within a few minutes. - Page 10 DESCRIPTION For applications where the main line pressure is between 15 and 60 psi and is sufficient for irrigation with no excess. The pressure differential required to generate fertilizer suction via the Venturis is produced by a boost pump integrated in the Fertikit. This mode of operation, where the system pump is installed upstream from the Venturis, permits the use of a smaller pump, reducing the investment required and saving energy.

Page 20: Calibration
CALIBRATION The process of calibrating the FERTIKIT is carried out in three stages: 1. Calculation of Dosing Channels Opening Percentage To finely calibrate the FERTIKIT in order to achieve homogeneous and stable dosing, perform the following calculation for each dosing channel (fertilizers and acid) to determine the amount of suction reduction needed to attain the required fertilizer/acid flow rate. - Page 21 CALIBRATION Note the required dosing ratio of each fertilizer solution and the dosing ratio of the acid solution (if used). Fill a bucket with 2 gallons of the client's supply water (without fertilizer or acid). Measure the EC and the pH levels of the water in the bucket using calibrated portable sensors. EXAMPLE Supply water (without fertilizer or acid) Using a measuring tube or a syringe, take a dose from each fertilizer solution and from the acid solution (if used)

CALIBRATION 3. Calibration of the FERTIKIT While Irrigating WARNING Extreme EC or pH values may damage the crop. Perform the following procedure only after completing stage 2 above (Simulation test with a 2 gallon bucket of water) with satisfactory results. NOTE The following steps explain the operations to be performed, regardless of the type of controller used. - Page 23 After completing the calibration process, fill out the FERTIKIT Hydraulic Conditions Checklist in three copies. Make sure to fill out all the boxes of the reference row. Keep one copy as reference for future calibration of the FERTIKIT and send one copy to your Netafim Dealer. FERTIKIT USER MANUAL 23...
