HortiMaX-Go! Figure 3-1: Front view of HortiMaX-Go! 3.3.1 Location and connection requirements Bear in mind the following when choosing a location for the control cabinet: 1. Make sure that the cabinet is easy to access. 2. Keep the cabinet out of direct sunlight, so the display is easy to read. Keep out of reach of rain, condensation water and sprinkler irrigation. -

(also called 'thermal protector contacts'). The Smart Switches can use the collected status information to control the equipment in your greenhouse, and can relay also that information to the central HortiMaX-Go! controller. This greatly enhances the reliability of the system. For example, the system will generate an alarm instantly should something go wrong with your equipment. -
Page 16: Dip Switch
3.4.1 DIP switch Up to 32 Smart Switches can be connected to the HortiMaX-Go!. To install Smart Switches, you first need to assign addresses to the Smart Switches. Each Smart Switch requires a unique address. This address is set with the DIP switch. By moving the small toggle switches (or 'DIPs') up or down, you can set a binary number that will be used as the Smart Switch address. -

HortiMaX-Go! Setting the DIP switch address Place the product sticker, included with the Smart Switch, in an empty spot on the wiring list. Determine up to which zone the Smart Switch belongs (1 - 8). On the wiring list, place the relevant 'zone sticker' on the line of the Smart Switch next to the ID number. -

HortiMaX-Go! Step Description Close the inner housing tightly and reattach it to the top cover. Reattach the outer tube to the top cover. Hang the sensor unit in a representative location inside the greenhouse (see: "Representative location" below). 3.5.2 Representative location The MTV-Go! sensor unit is essential for controlling the climate inside the greenhouse. -
Page 22: Location
HortiMaX-Go! Figure 3-5: Meteo-Go! 3.6.1 Location Install the weather station on a pole (diameter: 25 mm) 2 metres above the greenhouse roof; the Allen bolt should be positioned north. Make sure to choose a location for the Meteo-Go! that is free from shade and not too close to an exhaust such as a chimney. -
Page 23: Network Connection
No peripheral equipment for creating networks is supplied with the HortiMaX-Go!. To create a network, use commonly available devices. If possible, use standard CAT 5 cables or higher and normal patch cables. -
Page 24: Configuration
Configuration This chapter contains more information on how to configure the HortiMaX-Go!. For instructions on how to configure the HortiMaX-Go!, please see the following sections: System settings In order to put the system into operation, you need to set the display language, unit of measurement and the Smart Switches that are con- nected to the system. -
Page 25: Scanning
4.1.2 Scanning The control switches of the HortiMaX-Go! are the Smart Switches. The system needs to know which Smart Switches are present. For this reason, you need to scan the system. You can do this from the scanning screen. This screen opens automatically when you use your system for the first time. -
Page 26: Configuration Settings
HortiMaX-Go! Tap the Smart Switch that you want to disable/remove. A pop-up menu appears. Select the desired status. The status has been changed. If necessary, you can restore the previous configuration status. To do this, complete the above steps again and select the 'Recover' status. -
Page 27: System Time
Current time zone The HortiMaX-Go! cannot automatically determine when Summer Time (Daylight saving time) and Winter Time (standard time) start and end. This is because Summer Time and Winter Time do not take effect everywhere at the same time and some countries have different rules regarding these time adjustments. -
Page 28: Location
Figure 4-5: The 'GPS coordinates for weather readings' setting is enabled Enter manually A GPS location can be indicated in various ways. The HortiMaX-Go! uses the 'signed degrees' format. This means that: a positive longitude is used for the Eastern Hemisphere (this is east of Green- wich). -
Page 29: Network Address
4.2.3 Network address If the HortiMaX-Go! has been connected to the network correctly, the IP address will be retrieved automatically. The system uses the router's DHCP service to set the IP address. It is not possible to set the IP address manually. -
Page 30: Climate Settings
HortiMaX-Go! EXAMPLE A valve only provides readout information, such as 'valve status'. In contrast, the flow meter has both configuration settings and a readout screen. This means that you can set the K-factor and view the flow rate for the flow meter. -
Page 31: Opening Direction
HortiMaX-Go! Connecting the end contacts has a key advantage: Your controller will be able to better determine the current position of the motor. When the limit contacts have been connected, the run times can be determined automatically. 1. Connect the end contacts. -

HortiMaX-Go! You have assigned valves to a valve group. Figure 4-9: Assigning valves The irrigation program enables you to use a separate valve group for each valve. 4.4.2 Valves simultaneously Use the Valves simultaneously setting to specify how many valves may open simultaneously. - Page 33 HortiMaX-Go!
