5.1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE IRRIGATION CYCLE
Below please find the description of the evolution of a
typical irrigation cycle from pressing key .
1. BYPvalve initialized to
guarantee the starting speed is
zero (BYPopen)
2. Waiting for the irrigation start time
3. Initial pause: Irrigation starts
with BYPvalve open.
4. After the pause time has elapsed
the trolley is recovered and the system begins
Adjustment.
5. The recovery process ends with the signal of
end of winding up for model B2: the
BYPvalve is opened completely to
guarantee ZERO speed and the electronic console
displays “OVER”; for model B1
The cycle substantially ends with an error
of trolley lost.
6. The IRRIGAMATIC 2K7-B1 or B2 electronic
console goes to standby after a programmable
lapse of time.

4.1 LENGTH OF THE SECTORS
4.2 USER'S PARAMETERS
4.2.1 USER'S CONTROL PARAMETERS
The control parameters the user can set at the beginning and/or during an irrigation cycle are the ones
summarized in Tab.1
The device operation is connected with several factors characterizing the irrigation process.
The IRRIGAMATIC 2K7-B1 and B2 electronic consoles permit to irrigate a single sector.
The length of the sector can be set by the user bearing in mind that:
LTot = total length of the unwound tube.
Generally speaking we shall consider that:
The irrigation cycle is over when the sensor of end of winding up receives the right signal, in the negative it ends
when the end of winding up has been reached.

5 BASIC CONFIGURATION
OF THE MACHINE
The adjustment is made by keeping the instantaneous and average speed into account .
At startup the adjustment is made only based on the instantaneous speed until this speed exceeds the setup speed
The initial sequence includes valve opening in order to make sure the trolley is still:
from “BYP -” to “BYP open”
While the adjustment is made “ADJUSTMENT” or “BYP +/-” will be displayed
If during adjustment the end of stroke is reached an error warning shall be provided.
The pressure switch is NOT always provided.
This shall be kept into account when initially configuring the IRRIGAMATIC 2K7-B1 and B2 electronic
consoles upon their installation on board the machine.
This will stop the irrigation cycle if the pressure in the tube falls down to 2 atm.
If pressure decreases for more than 2s the electronic consoles position the BYP valve at cycle start in order to
prevent any dangerous situations should the pressure go back to normal.

 ERROR MESSAGES
The electronic console keeps a list of the last 6 error conditions which might arise.
The error messages are displayed in a sequence on the first line of the LCD alternatively to the other messages
being displayed such as for ex:
These blinking messages indicate for instance that there has been a short circuit in the BYP control circuit and
then a trolley has been lost.
The table below indicates the exceptions that might take place during an operating cycle and the relevant
messages being displayed.
The list of the events aims at indicating a sequence of the errors which have taken place to help the servicing
staff to understand the events that took place should the machine be out of order.
