sectors when cleaning. Assignation of generals and
counters. Control of continuous cleanings.
MANUAL CONTROL
With manual control, you can start, stop and
leave out of service irrigation programs; out of service
or general Stop; start or stop the filter cleaning; end of
alarms and malfunctions; direct activation of the out-
puts.
READINGS
It can have the following records which are al-
ways updated:
Sector totals and a general one to show the irri-
gation units in time and volume plus the calculated
flow and the applied units of every fertilizer.
Anomalies which have taken place during a pe-
riod of several weeks, such as a power cut, flow cut,
filter cleaning, fertilizer without control, irrigation or
fertilizer counters, too much fertilizer, proportional
fertilization, lack of communication with external mod-
ules, due to inputs of general malfunction, definitive,
temporary or conditional stop, intrusion alarm, pH and
EC sensors, error in memory, start and pressure in
diesel engine, etc. All of them go with the day and
time when they took place and the most relevant data
in relation to the type of anomaly.
New anomalies: with this record, the anomalies
that have taken place since the last visualization are
displayed.
Record of the last 30 days, where the starts of
every program, the filter cleanings that have taken
place, the integration of the solar radiation and the
room temperature, the rain accumulated that day and
the evapotranspiration are showed. It will also show,
for every sector, the irrigating units which have been
carried out, the average of EC and pH applied and the
fertilizer units. When there is a connection to a PC, the
average of the readings of every half an hour, of every
one of the 30 days will be recorded from the first 20
sensors, and the readings of all the active life of the
unit can be stored.
Sensors: with the instantaneous value of the dif-
ferent sensors connected to extensions, field modules
or Microisis connected to the Agrónic 4000.
Connecting a personal computer (PC), the op-
erations are recorded, showing the day and time of
every operation carried out by the unit, such as
anomalies, irrigation starts with their main values, per-
formance of the filters, mixers, erasures, etc. The in-
formation can be selected by means of the date, pro-
grams and anomalies. The Agrónic 4000 has a re-
cording capacity of several weeks.
ALARMS
It can generate alarms for more than 20 different
conditions, activating one of the two alarm outputs
(general and fertilization), recording the anomaly and
sending a warning by GSM message if necessary.
VISUALIZATION
Lightened screen of 2 lines of 40 characters, with
internal contrast adjustment. Membrane keyboard with
23 keys and pulsing acoustic warning device. "STOP"
key.
MANAGEMENT THROUGH A PC
The unit can be managed through a personal
computer by means of a PC program for the Agrónic
4000.
It can be linked via cable (RS232 or RS485) or by
means of a telephonic modem (conventional or GSM).
Punctual information of the controller (recording,
incidences, situation of the irrigation, etc.) can be ob-
tained from the PC, giving the opportunity of acting on
the Agrónic, modifying parameters, programs, ranks,
etc., from any place using the PC.
SMS MESSAGES
Connected to a GSM modem, "SMS messages"
can be sent to a digital telephone, with alarms and
incidences and regular messages of pre-established
values. It can also receive orders such as start or stop
a program, set at "Stop", modify the manual factor of
a program, give the value of a virtual sensor such as
the evapotranspiration, etc.
The sending of one or two reports a day about
the irrigations that have taken place to a mobile phone
can be configured
EXTERNAL MODULES
Capacity to connect with external modules of dif-
ferent types:
Expansion modules: up to 16 modules with 5 re-
lay outputs, 2 digital inputs and 2 Analog inputs
every one and communication through the 24
Vac line.
Agrónic Radio 868 and 868-16: up to 64 modules,
it is possible up to 16 latch solenoid outputs,
and up to 16 digital inputs, and 2 analog inputs
for sensors for each one of them.
Agrónic Radio 2,4: up to 120 modules, it is possi-
ble up to 16 latch solenoid outputs, and up to
16 digital inputs, and 2 analog inputs for sen-
sors for each one of them.
Agrónic Monocable 64 and 120: up to 120 mod-
ules, it is possible up to 8 latch solenoid out-
puts, and up to 10 digital inputs and 1 analog
input at every one.
Via Radio 400 MHz: up to 31 modules with 4 or 7
outputs for latch solenoids of 2 wires, solar
panel and battery for every one of them.
4 Microisis with 8 Analog inputs for sensors every
one.
