2 1BPROGRAM MENU
The Program Menu is used to configure the irrigation programs. Configuration is a multistep process consisting of
setting the following:
•Run Time Program (length of irrigation time or quantity of water to be distributed), page 9
•Dosing Program (fertilizer distribution program), page 11
•Irrigation (time frame and other parameters), page 17
In addition (or as alternative) to starting the irrigation based on time, irrigation can be set to begin based on:
•Irrigation Based on External Conditions, page 22
•Irrigation Based on Radiation Sum, page 27
•Irrigation Based on VPD Sum, page 28
Furthermore, you can adjust the irrigation process based on environmental factors such as the amount of radiation,
the temperature, or other factors. Refer to Introduction to the Influence Program and Introduction to the Influence
Program, page 29 for more details.
Lastly, use this menu to configure the following functions:
•Agitator, page 37
•Selector, page 38
•Filter Flushing, page 38
•Cooling, page 41
•Misting, page 42
•Water Heating, page 42
2.1 10BRun Time Program
For every irrigation program, define a Run Time program, which defines the how much water to distribute. Run Time
can be based on either length of time or quantity of water. You can define up to 60 Run Time programs.
As an option, you can configure irrigation to run for a certain amount of time or quantity before dosing begins and/or
after dosing ends. This process rinses the irrigation pipes of any residual matter.
To set the irrigation Run Time:
1. Go to Program > Water Run Time.
2. Select QTY or TIME.
3. Enter the water quantity/total run time.
4. Enter the Before and/or After quantity/time (optional).
5. Repeat as required for each program.

method. You can define up to 10 Dosing Programs.
Note: If there is more than one fertilizer tank for the selected dosing channel, refer to Selector, page 38.

2.2.4 53BQuantity
The Quantity method injects a fixed amount of fertilizer in the irrigation water. When using the Quantity method, there
are two options:
•Option A:Bulk (similar to Time method). In this option, fertilizer is injected once, with the quantity defined in
this screen.
Example: Channel 1, P1 = four liters in one pulse
•Option B: Spread (according to dosing configuration set by a technician). Option B is similar to Proportional
Time. In this method, fertilizer is spread out by quantity over the irrigation run time.
Example: Channel 1 = P1 + P2 + P3…+ Pn = 4 liters
Note: The example below shows liters; in the USA use gallons.

•Start time: This parameter defines the irrigation program time period. Each period begins at the defined time
and runs until the next defined time. Define up to six periods for each irrigation program. For example:
If you enter one time, the time period is 24 hours, starting from the time entered.
If you enter two times, the first period goes from first time defined until the second time. The second
period then starts and continues until the first time. For example in the screen below, the first period
starts at 8:00 and continues until 10:00. The second period begins at 10:00 and continues until 8:00
(the next day).
•Clock Start: This parameter defines the number of irrigation cycles within each time period. In the example
below, there are two cycles between 8:00 – 10:00 and three cycles from 10:00 – 8:00.
•Min. Time: The minimal amount of time between cycle starts

Example 2: Cycling Irrigation Program for Group of Two Valves
In this example, two valves operate simultaneously (valves operating together is a called a group). All other

Example 3: Irrigation Program for a Group and Individual Valve
In this example, Valves 1 and 2 are designated as a group. Valve 3 is designated as an individual valve. There are
different/interchangeable delays (multiple start time) dividing the day into periods.
The first cycle’s (C1) run time begins at 8:00 (Valve 1 and 2). Valve 3 begins operating at its run time. In this example,
Valve 3 begins operating after Valve 1 and 2 finishes. This process is repeated once (C2), with a break of one hour
between cycle start times.
Cycle 3 (C3) begins at 10:30. In this cycle, there is a 30 minute break between cycles (C4). The process continues as
shown in the graph below.

2.3.2 Adjusting the Water Quantity Based on Weather Conditions
The NMC Irrigation Pro enables you to manually increase or decrease the quantity of water on any given day.
Depending on the weather conditions, you can change the quantity of water emitted from valves without changing the
program.
Example 4: Increasing Irrigation
In this example, water is supplemented by 20% to compensate for an increase in heat. If the regular run time is 10
minutes, the actual run time will be 12 minutes. All other specifications are the same as those found in Example 3.
Note: The change to the programs affects both Valves 1 and 2, and Valve 3.
Note: Dosing is not affected when using this function, only the quantity of water.
There are two options:
•Daily: Program adjustment is for one day only. Regular program resumes the following day.
•Const: Program adjustment continues until changed.
