2. Disconnect the controller from the power. 3. Install the analog cards in the slots indicated in I/O Card Layout, page 21. 4. Apply power; the Green Field will detect the new card(s). 5. In the screen that appears, select YES.
3. Place the cursor on the valve requiring testing, press Enter and select. 4. Under Open%, enter an opening percentage. o Green Field sends an electrical current to the valve, based on the number entered. o If the valve opens, OFF appears under Fail. If the valve does not open, ON appears.
4. Munters recommends setting the parameters as shown below. However, you can change these specifics if needed. NOTE In case that different dosing pump (electric) or setting (fertilizer meter), refer to Green Field Advanced Settings. NOTE For a more detailed description of this procedure, refer to Section 11.6, Dosing Channel Configuration page, 117.

Several Influences adjust the EC setting. The final adjustment amount is based on the sum total • of the different Influences. You enter up to three points for each Influence setting. Green Field automatically calculates the • curve based on these points.
Example: As sunlight increases, a crop requires higher EC levels. The following screen illustrates increasing in the EC based on radiation. Since Green Field calculates the increase in EC proportionally, there will be a 7.5% increase when the radiation reaches 60 w/m2.
5.4 Dosing Green Field includes 10 predefined dosing programs. Each program consists of injection methods, quantities and EC/pH target values. Each channel is completely independent and can be set to give a different amount. Overlapping between the various channels is possible.
The total quantity of fertilizer that will be given is 5.0 * 3.5 = 17.5 liters (Gallons). 2. P.Time (hh:mm): Proportional time. Each dosing channel is given the time to fertilize independently. The Green Field divides this time equally within the given irrigation time (quantity) set in 1.2 WATER RUN...
Delta Pressure Reiteration: Number of consecutive filter flushing cycles triggered by the Delta • Pressure that can take place without any breaks, before the Green Field will generate an alarm indicating that the Delta pressure sensor is defective. The Green Field will than ignore the Delta Pressure and will continue flushing according to the set Time Between Flushing only, until the alarm is reset.
This table shows active alarms and failures. The upper section allows you to cancel failures and reset alarms. Period of Automatic Reset allows you to set a time in which the Green Field will try to reset the alarms automatically and complete the uncompleted processes.

Short Output Level (60-350): Define the A/D threshold value to be considered as a short • circuit (for further instructions see Green Field – Part 2 > Appendix 1 – General > Short Circuit Control). ¹ The following parameters will be visible only if an Extension box is defined;...
Alarm Active: Define whether the alarm output should be triggered by the appropriate alarm. • NOTE An alarm will be generated on the Green Field screen even if the controller has been set to continue (ignore) or the alarm output has been set as not active (or not defined at all).

‘+’ sign is added next to it to indicate that more valves are associated. The Green Field will attempt to complete the irrigations from the current day (until end day time) upon manual or automatic alarm reset.
In this case, the table will consist of a maximum of 2,500 lines. 8.12 Event Log The table provides information of all the processes performed by the Green Field including their time and date.
Position of cards connected locally will appear on the bottom table. To update the Hardware Checklist, disconnect the Green Field from the power supply or perform a cold start procedure.
To test the analog output valves: Under Status, select one of the following: • o AUTO: Green Field tests the valve opening percentage. Use this option while the controller is operating. o MAN: The user defines the valves' opening percentage.

The baud rate in the controller and in the extension boxes must match; otherwise, the communication cannot operate properly. NOTE Green Field Part 2 > Table 2 – Baud rate values. This table provides explanations regarding how to set the Baud rates in the extension boxes.
Extension Box # Connected: Specify whether the relevant extension box is connected or not. • The Green Field will “search” for the relevant extension box and will update the Hardware Check List and all other relevant settings accordingly. If the Green Field doesn’t recognize the extension box an alarm “Ext.

ORRELATION Place the cursor on the relevant factor and use the left/right arrow keys to increase/decrease the factor until the values displayed by the Green Field are equal to the values indicated on the EC/pH transmitter screen. To ensure the measured values are stable it is recommended to immerse the sensor in calibration fluid when doing this process.
For temperature and humidity sensors calibration can be done using reference temperature and • humidity sensors. Wind direction sensor should be calibrated so that the value indicated by the Green Field fits • the actual direction pointed by the wind direction sensor.
Green Field will start the minimal number of pumps required to supply the calculated flow rate. If several pumps should be started, the Green Field starts from the largest to the smallest and will turn them off from the smallest to the largest.
Pump: Define which pump or pump station should be started when irrigating this valve. When • choosing Station, the Green Field will choose which and how many pumps should be started to supply the required (calculated) flow. See Pump Station Configuration on page 113 for more information).
Standard: In this function valves which are operated in a group should be connected to the same water meter. NOTE If a few valves configured to different water meters will be started simultaneously, the Green Field uses the flow measured by the water meter connected to the leading valve.
Page 116
Water source: The Green Field will sum or deduct flow measured simultaneously from a few water meters. When choosing this function an additional column called ”SUM” will appear, this column enables to define which water meters should be summed and which deducted from the total measured flow.
High %: set an injection percentage limit. This percentage will limit the deviation from set • dosing recipe when Green Field is injecting more than specified in order to try and reach the target EC/pH values. Low %: set an injection percentage limit. This percentage will limit the deviation from set dosing •...

4. If you wish to define several devices of the same type, for example valves 1 to 10, configure the first one and press ENTER a few times until you reach the required amount. The Green Field automatically continues with the same device until instructed otherwise, or until reaching the system limitation for that device.
Screen 5 NOTE After making changes, be sure to exit and return again to check for errors. The Green Field will delete and replace conflicting assignments with ‘---‘. 12.2 Device List The Device List screen allows you to view what type, and how many devices are currently defined. This screen automatically updates depending on the devices set in the 7.1 screen.
