Operating instructions Starting your irrigator Unwind the machine with the brake applied sufficiently to keep the Move the machine to the field in the transport position. When the hose tight at all times with the electric brake. machine is at the crop to be irrigated, disconnect the tractor from the front drawbar.
Drain water from the machine: the machine instructions. The machine is easily emptied with air (only done with special compressors). When starting irrigation, see the section that refers to the operating instructions for PROGRAM RAIN. Contact Fasterholt Maskinfabrik A/S if necessary.
REMEMBER !! Before unwinding the hose: Faults on the Irrigator Open the filter coupling. Check the following before calling a technician: Open the valve in the base of the turbine. 1. If the machine is irrigating, but not moving. Check that machine is in gear. Check if it is performing pre-irrigation or post-irrigation.

Standard menu: Standard display SPEED Speed. Can be changed at any time during irrigation using the "+" and "-" keys. Current zone 1...4, with corresponding speed. The speed cannot be changed. (Zone active) ZONE The dose is calculated from the speed and constants and shows the current number of mm for irrigation. As DOSE SPEED increases, DOSE decreases.

MENU 3 PRESSURE SENSOR Shows that the pressure is high when block is lit. The machine can only move when the pressure is high. If no pressure sensor is fitted (machine data 14 = 0), the machine will operate regardless of pressure status. The machine can be fitted with analogue pressure sensors.
Page 17
MENU 4 CURR. SPEED Shows the current speed. That is, the speed at which the machine is moving now. This can be used to find how fast the machine can move. The current speed may differ slightly from the set speed, especially at the start. This does not matter, as regulation ensures that the average speed within 10 metres is correct.

MENU 5 SIGNAL GSM signal strength. NETWORK GSM network First number on "SMS" list. Second number on "SMS" list. See GSM chapter for details. START: The turbine can only start if the magnet is aligned with the end stop sensor (or end stop sensors). See menu 3 for control of the STOP SENSOR. Press the START key to turn on the water.
Page 19
PRE-IRRIGATION: If pre-irrigation is required, press the PRE- key. The pre-irrigation time is calculated as 8 x the time to move 1 m at the current speed. The constant can be changed individually for pre- and post-irrigation. (See constants). If pre-irrigation is selected, the machine will move forward approx.
Page 20
STATUS Status messages in display EMERGENCY: Machine has not been started, anyway speed pulses is received and it is trying to maintain the speed requested. RUNNING: The machine is irrigating, and everything is working properly. LOW PRESSURE: Water pressure is below pressure switch treshold. Machine acts depending on Machine data.

There are different constants that can be set by the user. These constant will be saved for years even ifthe battery is disconnected. Programming procedure: The speed should be adjusted to 11.1 m/h to reach the constants. Press rapidly the PROG key 3 times to gain access to change the constants. Then by pressing the PROG key, it steps forward to the constant, which should be altered.

Fault Iocalisation. The turbine can not start by pressing START. Pre-and post-irrigation can not take place. Answer: Magnet for stop-sensor is not on its place, or cable or sensor is damaged. Stop sensor: The mark must be on when the magnet is on place, and it disappears when the magnet is re- moved.

The most used combination of different constants: With constants factory adjusted the machine always will run. But there are different conditions from farm to farm and there are also different wishes from the farmer. Therefore some constants can be adjusted for local wishes. Slow start of turbine.
