  • Page 4: Description Of Basic Functions

    DESCRIPTION OF BASIC FUNCTIONS The Agrónic 2500 is designed for automating irrigation on small and medium-sized farms (maximum 30 irrigation sectors) where there is a need to open/close sector and master valves, fertilizer control and filters. The farm may have a pressurized water intake or need a drive pump (electric or motor pump).

  • Page 5: Features

    2 FEATURES The Agrónic 2500 is a controller for controlling irrigation, fertilization, pumping and filter cleaning. It detects malfunctions and creates a chronological record of the events. Fully configurable, with multiple possibilities for use, communication and expansion. IRRIGATION Control up to 30 sectors using 50 irrigation programs. Each program can activate 1 to 4 irrigation sectors si- multaneously.
