. LTE technology enables the devices to communicate without the need for an additional connectivity deployment. From SPHERAG platform you can control, manage and record irrigation. The platform includes a tool that provides daily, monthly, and annual irrigation reports. 2. Specifications...
3. Events Events occurring in ATLAS trigger a recording and update of the following parameters: water meter, battery level and signal. The events are listed below: 1. Opening/Closing both manual and automatic. 2. Solenoid synchronization. 3. Communication test 4. State transition from “Sleep” to “Awake” and vice versa 5.
5. Device states The device can be identified in 5 different states. Through the LED at the bottom, it is possible to identify its current state. While, from the platform, it can also be identified the “Awake” and “Sleep” states. The rest of the states will be displayed as “No communication”.
➢ CRITICAL BATTERY: LED shines twice each 15 seconds. In section “No communication”. o It occurs when the battery level is below 5 %. o The behavior of the device is identical to the “Sleep” state, but the correct opening/closing operation of the solenoid is not assured because the power supply of the device is low.
2. ECO The transition to the “Awake” state is performed randomly within the time slot from 05: 00 am – 07:00 am (see Figure 2) and it remains “Awake” until 10:00 pm. When it wakes up, it will launch a first publication of data in the platform. Then it will send time information until 09:30 pm.

7. Types of scheduling The device has two types of scheduling, which in turn have different scheduling modes: 1. BASIC: it allows valves to be scheduled separately. The scheduling modes are: a. Days of the week: you must select the day(s) of the week on which you want to irrigate.
Page 11
c. Windows: consists of an irrigation to which you assign a start time, the duration and the ON/OFF time of the valve (must be higher than 10 seconds). For example, schedule an irrigation at 10 am for 2 hours, an ON time of 5 min and an OFF time of 10 min.
8. Installation Please read carefully the following instructions and follow them in the order described below. The effect of the guarantee cannot be assured if the instructions of this manual are not followed. NOTE: None of the 8 wired of the device must be electrically connected. And in case you do not use the output of any of the solenoids (red and black wire) or any of the inputs of the counters (white and blue), each of them must be electrically insulated.
