1. GENERAL FEATURES Sprinkler trolley rewinding speed adjustment (programmable from 5 to 250 m/h). Program possibilities up to four different rewinding speeds. Irrigation start time ( programmable up to max. 23 hours and 59 min). Pause when irrigation starts (programmable from 0 to 99 min). Pause when irrigation ends (programmable from 0 to 99 min).
The manual contents and drawings are updated on printing date and refer to the features of the console they are supplied with. Matermacc s.r.l. reserves the right of updating and/or modifying them without prior notice.
4. DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT The IRRIGAMATIC P450 console is equipped with 14 keys by which the operator programs the system according to their own requirements and with a display sending a series of information. ON/OFF switching key Working cycle start...
5. CARRYING OUT THE IRRIGATION CYCLE For a correct irrigation procedure, we reccomend executing the various phases in the right order as described below. PHASE DESCRIPTION Switch console on. (see par. 6 - page 04) Unwind the tube. The console will measure and display the meters of tube being unwound.
7. UNWINDING THE HOSE The hose shall be unwound at the end of the starting-up phase and before pressing the key to start the working cycle. START END-OF-UNWINDING ADVISING (IF REQUIRED) During unwinding, the console may give you a signal corresponding to a programmed quantity of hose unwound.
8. PROGRAMMING START We recommend to program at the end of the start-up phase and before pressing key to start the working cycle. However the set values can also be modified while executing the working cycle, always by following the same input procedure 8.1 PROGRAMMING THE WORKING CYCLE NOTE The values that were modified when the working cycle is in process (IRR)

8.1.3 PROGRAMMING SECTOR The rewinding speed in the various sectors can be programmed from 5 to 250 m/h. The length in meters of Sector 1, Sector 2, Sector 3 can be programmed from 0 to 250 m. ! ! ATTENTION ! ! The programmed meters of lenght in Sector 1, Sector 2 and Sector 3 cannot be modified when the working cycle is in process (IRR).
Page 11
SECTOR 2 NOTE To exclude the Sector 2, set to zero the meters of lenght. Recall the speed to set. Press key Set the required speed (for ex. 20 m/h). GRAM GRAM Press key without releasing it and then press keys to set the speed required.
Page 12
SECTOR 4 Recall the speed to set. Press key 4°Sect 6m/h Set the required speed (for ex. 20 m/h). Press key without releasing it and then press keys GRAM GRAM to set the speed required. NOTE The setting rewinding speed values in the various sectors can be modified automatically by the console if the function "end-of-irrigation time limit"...
8.2 PROGRAMMING THE USER’S MENU Further minor functions have been added to a menu, access to which is possible both during the programming phase and at work. Access to the user's menu. GRAM GRAM When the console is on press on keys at the same time.

Set the hours. Press key to move forward and display the clock time GRAM GRAM Press key without releasing it and then press keys modify the displayed hour. Set the minutes. Press key to move forward and display the minutes. Press key and without releasing it, press keys to set...
8.3 DISPLAY THE EXPECTED END-OF-IRRIGATION TIME Press key to know at what time the end of irrigation is expected. This time is calculated by the console by adding up the initial pause, the final pause and the time needed to carry out the cycle, based on the unwound meters and on the speed that has been programmed in the various sectors.
9. WORKING CYCLE 9.1 WORKING CYCLE START After unwinding the hose and entering the programming data correctly, start the working cycle by pressing key START 9.2 CARRING OUT THE WORKING CYCLE The console signals to the operator that the working cycle is starting. Irrigation start time.
9.4 SPECIAL VISUALISATIONS 9.4.1 VISUALISATIONS WITH END-OF-IRRIGATION LIMIT TIME If during the execution of the working cycle the end-of-irrigation limit time function is active (see paragraph 11.3 page 17), the console signals this condition as follows: Clock. A small "o" blinks between the hours and the minutes Speed.
10. END OF WORKING CYCLE The end-of-work procedure starts: by activating the end-of-rewinding sensor (if mounted on the irrigator) End Rewind In this case when the sensor is activated, the console displays when reaching the programmed meters to end the irrigation before winding the whole hose (see par.
11. SPECIAL FUNCTIONS 11.1 END-OF-UNWINDING ADVISING During the unwinding the console may give you a signal corresponding to a programmed quantity of hose unwound. To get this signal, it is necessary to equip the installation with an advise signal (blinking, siren, radio, etc.) controlled by the relay contact available on the console (terminal M10).
11.3 END-OF-IRRIGATION TIME LIMIT This function allows to establish the time within which irrigation should be ended. Any considerations concerning the application of this function should be related to the indication of the end-of-irrigation time, displayed by pressing key (see par. 8.3 page 12). For this reason, it is important to set all programming values correctly.
Should the operation of the various connected sensors not be displayed, check the installation and the integrity of cables, connections, sensors and repeat the test. If the result is still negative, contact your dealer or MATERMACC servicing center. Pag.18 REV 0/00...
13. DISPLAY MESSAGES 13.1 OPERATING MESSAGES Stop Press0 This message can only be displayed if the pressure switch is connected to the console. It shows the pressure in the hose has fallen below the pressure switch calibration value. The pressure switch is only checked during the working cycle. When there is not enough pressure in the hose, the cycle is interrupted.

Stop Trol? If during the working cycle the rewinding speed equal to zero for more than 3 IRR ---m/h minutes, this message will be displayed. This is the time needed by the console to Stop Trol? Stop Trol? establish that the trolley is stopped.Therefore the speed adjustment motor is controlled automatically to reach the programmed speed.
13.2 ERROR MESSAGES Err Mot This error message is displayed when there is a problem with the speed adjustment motor or the end-of-work motor. The Err Mot message always comes together with a second message that identifies the cause of the problem better. In particular: Short circuit of speed adjustment motor Reg Sc...
Page 25
Err Hc It is displayed when pressing key and the duration of the working cycle has been calculated in over 24 hours. NOTE This message does not jeopardize the console operation in any way. When the cycle lasts less than 24 hours , press key to obtain the information concerning the arrival time ReWind End Err...
13.3 MOTOR DRIVE MESSAGES Reg+ It means that the console is controlling the adjustment motor to increase the rewinding speed. Reg- It means that the console is controlling the adjustment motor to reduce the rewinding speed. It means that the adjustment motor has reached the end of stroke position at lowest speed.
14. EXTRA FUNCTIONS Battery test At any time you can know if the battery charge is still good by pressing key at the same time. The display shows the voltage (in Volts) of the battery supplying power to the console (for ex. 13v). Reset This operation should be carried out if you wish to start a new cycle with the same programmed values.
15. MANUAL MOTOR CONTROL At any time you can control the motors connected to the IRRIGAMATIC console manually. 15.1 SPEED ADJUSTMENT MOTOR CONTROL. Increase speed P.I. Press keys at the same time. The speed adjustment motor is controlled by the console intermittently. During the motor rotation Reg+ is displayed.
