6. PARAMETERS
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".

In order to get placed in one of the two screens of
the menu, press the up and down arrow keys. Then
press the number of the option and the "Enter" key.
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) or in parallel [2] (apply
several at a time).
Fertilisers number ( 0 – 8 ) : 3
Fertilisation series (1)
Each one of the types of fertilization can be con-
figured to be applied one after the other or propor-
tionally to the irrigation units.
As shown in the picture above, the series fertili-
zation 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

parallel (2) : 1
and in its totality when it is programmed in parallel.
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.

Proportional Fertilization (Y/N) : YES
F1 005/012 F2 005/014 F3 005/009 F4 010/002
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.
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
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.
The pre-irrigation and the post-irrigation are inde-
pendently programmed in each program.
The way of acting of the proportional modality is
the next: the pre-fixed pre-irrigation is done, it applies
the programmed water/fertilizer proportion, when the
fertilizer units conclude, it will wait until the irrigation
units of the proportion conclude and it will apply an-
other proportional cycle. It will continue this way until
arriving at the post-irrigation or end of the irrigation in
the parallel application or it will wait until the fertilizer
units of the program conclude in the series one.
