In the irrigation units, the time format is hours,
minutes and seconds, and the volume is cubic meters
with three decimals. In fertilizer there is only one for-
mat depending on the time or volume units assigned
to the fertilization at" flow parameters" [6.5.]. If the
irrigation units of a program are different, they will not
be added. That is why it is very important to take into
account that in order to do a correct addition of the
applied fertilizers, it is necessary to work with the
same units both at flow parameters and at programs.
The totals by volume of the sectors that are irri-
gating at the same time with the same counter, it will
be done distributing the value of each pulse of the
counter, depending on the expected flow in each sec-
tor. This detail is configured at the "Parameters-
Sectors" section [6.6.]. Look at the example below:
Sector 1, expected flow = 23.6 m
Sector 2, expected flow = 18.9 m
A pulse of the 1000 liters volumetric count-
ers arrives, at the totals 555.294 liters will be
distributed to sector 1 and 444.706 liters to sec-
tor 2.
8.2. ANOMALIES READINGS
The anomalies are incidences that are recorded
in the memory and which can be read at the "Anoma-
lies-Reading" section. In case that since the previous
reading a new reading has been carried out, we will
read them at the previous section and besides this,
filtered at the "New Anomalies –Readings"
The anomalies are a part of the general record
which is recorded in the memory. The anomalies and
any event the controller has done are recorded in it; all
the other records can only be seen from a PC when
the link to a PC option is installed. It has a 5000 re-
cords capacity. When they are filled, the oldest ones
start to be erased.
Each anomaly has the date and time when it
happened and a descriptive text with the values that
affect it.
With the up arrow key a previous anomaly can be
seen and with the down arrow a posterior one..
Description of each type of anomalies:
Each one of the different anomalies can activate
an output alarm, and, with the option activated, an
SMS message. From the installer configuration, which
anomalies activate the alarm and which ones send a
message can be modified. A configuration is provided
with the unit; in the following description the following
symbols will appear in order to indicate which of them
activate alarms and/or send messages.
[AL-G] = It activates the general alarm.
[AL-F] = Activation of a fertilizer alarm.
[MSG] = It sends an SMS message to a mobile.
• Power cut. [ - ] [ - ]
When there is a power cut longer than 1 minute
and shorter than 24 hours it records the date and the
time when the cut began and when it finished.
• General Malfunction. [AL-G] [MSG]
It is produced when the safety factor of the instal-
lation of irrigation connected to the input of general
malfunction activates and produces a definitive stop of
the controller. To cancel the definitive stop enter in
"Function–Manual–Malfunctions", being reactivated
the programming which is being carried out at the
same point where it stopped.
• Flow Anomaly. [AL-G] [MSG]
In te flow control of the irrigation counters, an
anomaly is produced by defect or excess of the ex-
pected flow, indicating the meter and value of the flow.

• Irrigation counter malfunction. [AL-G] [MSG]
When an irrigation volumetric counter fails and
does not emit pulses, after some temporization, (if
nothing is indicated 10'), it goes into anomaly and
causes a definitive stop of the controller. Once re-
paired, enter in "Function–Manual–Malfunctions" to
reactivate at the same point where it stopped.
• No control fertilizer malfunction. [AL-F] [MSG]
When more than 15 pulses of a fertilizer counter
are received during a time (if nothing is indicated 10')
and there is no order to inject fertilizer, it goes into
anomaly and causes a definitive stop of the controller.

functions" to reactivate at the same point where it
stopped.
• Fertilizer counter anomaly. [AL-F] [MSG]
When a volumetric counter of fertilizer fails and
does not emit pulses, after some temporization (if
nothing is indicated 10'), it goes into an anomaly and
causes a temporary stop of the fertilizer in the pro-
gram being carried out (the rest of the fertilizers con-
tinue); in a new irrigation start with fertilizer it will try it
again.
• Excess of fertilizer anomaly. [AL-F] [MSG]
In an irrigation with fertilization and a post-
irrigation programmed, it can be that the irrigation
units arrive at the post-irrigation and the fertilizer is still
left to inject, it will stop then to inject it and it will keep
the anomaly with the exceeding units of the different
fertilizers. It also goes into anomaly when eventually
finishes an irrigation with fertilizers.
When more than four fertilizers are configured,
two different anomalies will take place, one for the first
four and one for the others.
• Proportional fertilization anomaly. [AL-F] [MSG]
In the application of fertilizer proportional to the ir-
rigation, it goes into anomaly and the program which
is being carried out stops the fertilization when, after
repaired, enter in "Function–Manual–Mal-
