1 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,
fertilizing control and filters.
The farm may have a pressurized water intake or need
a drive pump (electric or motor pump). There may be
an irrigation water meter.
The head can have 12 Vdc power supply (with solar
panel and battery, or battery only) or at 220 Vac (mains
or generator set).
The valves can be 12 Vdc, 24 Vac or latch and can be
close to the head and controlled by microtube or cable,
or at distances of up to 2 km connected to AgroBee-L
radio modules.
In the head, there can be fertilization with a hydraulic
pump injector, electric dosing machines or a venturis
system.
The Agrónic 2500 has an internet connection, with
mobile telephony or WiFi, to connect to the VEGGA
platform or to the Agrónic APP application and
remotely manage the Agrónic.
For remote management, you can also connect to the
‘Agrónic PC’ Windows program. The connection can
be with direct USB to the computer, when it is next to
the unit, by radio modem, for medium distances, or by
Internet, with WiFi or mobile telephony.
All the features of the Agrónic are expanded in the
Plus version. If the Basic version does not meet your
requirements, see the Plus version.
To go from the Basic to the Plus version, just activate
an option from the unit.

FERTILIZATION
Configurabe from 0 to 4 fertilizers in separate tanks.
Separates pre- and post-irrigation values in each
program. Cleaning the injectors aer fertilizing. Fer-
tilization units in time (hh:mm), in volume (L). Config-
ured to use mixers, with pre-mixing and intermittent or
continuous mixing.
Fertilizers can be applied in two ways:
Control up to 30 sectors using 50 irrigation programs.
Each program can activate 1 to 4 irrigation sectors si-
multaneously.
There are three ways to start a program:
schedule start: at a specific time choosing the days of
the week.
Days of the week
Sequential start: when another program has finished.
It is used to irrigate several sector groups one aer
another. The first program in the sequence must be
schedule start or conditional.
P6 sequential of P5 and P7 sequential of P6, etc.
Conditional start: when the contact closes the program
start input (CS).
Conditional start due to frost
The programs can be stopped, before the irrigation
ends, by three digital malfunction inputs.
Temporary malfunction (TM): stops the current irriga-
tion but allows the next one to start.
Definitive malfunction (DM): for all programs and must
be reset manually.
Conditional stop (CS): stops the program while the
contact is closed, when it is opened the program
resumes at the last point where it was.
Irrigation units can be in time (hh:mm) or volume (m3).
A record is made of the irrigation time and volume for
each sector and in total.
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.

PUMPING
It has 2 general irrigation outputs, or pumps.
One of the pumps can be a motor pump or generator
set. Each sector is assigned with the pumps associated
to it.
The pumps are activated together with the sector.
There are time delays to separate the activation of the
pump from that of the sector during activation as well
as in stop.

READINGS
The unit saves the totals and event logs with the
anomalies over the last days.
• General totals and totals by sector for irrigation
and fertilization units in time and volume starting
from an initial date.
• Anomalies with time and date of the incident and
related instructions.
Plus, also oers:
• detailed records of every event occurring in the
unit.
• Separate history per irrigation sector with the units
in time and the irrigation and fertilizing volumes
applied everyday.
• History of every analog sensor with average values,
with maximum and minimums in 10-minute
fractions.
• History of every meter sensor with the irrigation
or fertilization values plus leaks in 10-minute
fractions.
EXTERNAL MODULES
With the AgroBee-L Link option, the unit links with
AgroBee-L radio modules, expanding the possibilities
and the use of new features.
The dierent modules in the range activate valves and
other irrigation elements, as well as read digital and
analog sensors and meters.
The AgroBee-L radio modules work with LoRa radio
modulation, which operates in the free bands of 868
MHz / 433 MHz / 915 MHz, obtaining coverage radio of
up to 2500 m between two points (depending on the
orography).

SUMMARY OF PLUS VERSION FEATURES
The Agrónic 2500 with the Plus option oers a notable
increase in features as per the basic version, which may
come from the factory with the options pre-activated
or be done so at any time during its operable lifespan
to meet any new demands that arise in the facility.
• In the Programs function, in addition to the classic
irrigation operation based on days of the week,
there is a day frequency function, allowing irriga-
tions to be repeated every certain amount of days,
for example, every two days, one day on, one day
o, etc.
• Programs with several activations separated by an
amount of time in hours and minutes, thus irrigat-
ing by pulses.
• Programs with active schedules to limit the irri-
gation application within a schedule; useful when
starting irrigation by sensor.
• Programs with active periods to limit the operation
of each program to specific dates.
• Programs with safety times (hh:mm) between irri-
gation periods to prevent continuous commands;
useful when commands are sensor activated and
an incident occurs.
• Uniform fertilization. Uniform application is added
in parallel and by volume for the most homoge-
neous fertilizer distribution possible within the ir-
rigation units.
• New format in the irrigation and fertilization pro-
gramming, in cubic meters per hectare (m3/ha)
and liters per hectare (L/ha), respectively, where
the unit makes the calculations for the units to be
applied at the start of every irrigation.
• In Determining factors, the number of operating
determining factors has been increased from 5 to
30. They can also aect all the unit or be assigned
to specific irrigation programs; digital, analog or
meter sensors can be used, or the data integrated
from a previous irrigation; they can result in just
a record being created or an anomaly and send a
warning SMS message.
Operatives:
‒ Definitive stop.
‒ Temporary stop.
‒ Conditioned stop.
‒ Start and stop irrigation programs.
‒ Warning.
‒ Modify irrigation.
‒ Modify fertilizing.
‒ End due to rain.
‒ Filter pressure gage.
‒ Diesel pressure gage
‒ Stop fertilizing
• Text descriptions for programs, sectors, sensors
and determining factors.
• Possibility for 10 meters (up to 4 for fertilizing and
the rest for irrigation) plus 40 analog sensors and
20 digital sensors.
• Manual commands so programs can be placed out
of service, suspended for a certain number of hours
or modified to change the day frequency meter
or pending actions. As for determining factors,
these may be deactivated or a definitive stop can
be terminated. As for sectors, these can be le
in automatic or manual start mode or in manual
stop mode. As for sensors, the manual commands
permit values to be entered on a virtual sensor.
• In Readings, there are new record and history
sections. Chronological and detailed records are
made of each event occurring in the unit. The
history of the irrigation and fertilizing totals is
based on the time and volume applied per sector,
grouped in days on the unit and in 10-minute
fractions from Agrónic APP/VEGGA/Agrónic PC.
History for each analog sensor, with the average,
maximum and minimum value, of the day on the
unit and in 10-minute fractions on the Agrónic APP/
VEGGA/Agrónic PC. History of each meter sensor,
with the irrigation or fertilizing value plus the leak
value in daily values or in 10-minute fractions on
the Agrónic APP/VEGGA/Agrónic PC.

Inputs
At the base of the Agrónic 2500 there are 6 digital inputs,
identified as D1 to D6, to connect the following sensors.
GENERAL PARAMETERS
Assign inputs:
IM FM
1 2
Assign inputs:
SC TM DM CS PS AL
4 0 0 5 0 0
IM Irrigation meter.
FM Fertilizing meter 1 to 4, when fertilizing is in series
format, there is only one common meter for all CF fer-
tilizers. For parallel fertilization there will be 4 meters:
cF1 to CF4.
SC Start cleaning. Used to connect a dierential
pressure gage and make cleanings by increasing the
pressure between the inputs and outputs for a group
of filters. The IL input is only taken into account if there
is an irrigation program.
TM Temporary malfunction, it stops the irrigation
program in progress but allows the next sequence
or start to continue. The AT input is only taken into
account if there is an irrigation program.
DM Definitive malfunction, is what causes a total and
definitive stop of the system until it is manually reacti-
vated by the user in ‘Function - 2. Manual - 6. Terminate
stops’. The AD input is only taken into account if there
is an irrigation program.
CS Conditional stop, when activated, all the programs
under way stop completely with their remaining units
intact. Once the stop is over, irrigation resumes at the
same point. While in a conditional stop, programs may
begin and be placed on standby.

5.3.1 Diesel option
This option is used to start, stop and monitor diesel
pumps for malfunctions.
Operation
The diesel pump is related to pump 1. It starts when a
sector that uses pump 1 opens and stops when the last
sector that uses pump 1 closes.
First the sector is opened, the contact and preheating
output of the diesel pump is activated. When preheat-
ing is finished, the start output activates. If the pressure
gage input is activated, the diesel pump has already
started and irrigation begins. If it is not activated aer
the boot time, wait 30” and attempt another boot. If
the diesel pump cannot be started in 4 attempts, the
stop output is activated, it enters Malfunction and
makes a record. The pump will attempt to start again
at the next irrigation start.
When irrigation is finished, it closes the sectors and
the pump, carrying out the water hammer timings and
once the end of pump time has transpired, it activates
the stop.
‘Consult – 1. General’ shows the status of the diesel
pump.
These screens only appear if the Diesel Option is
activated.
Pressure gage
A pressure gage is used to detect that the pump is
running. Its purpose is twofold: to detect start-up
when attempting to start and, once finished, to detect
insuicient oil pressure. In the Agrónic Basic version,
the pressure gage must be connected to digital input 6
(D6). This input cannot be used for any other function.
If you have a generator on which there is no need to
control the pressure gage input, set the start and stop
times to 0.
GENERAL PARAMETERS
Preheating: 08”
Start-up: 04”
Stop: 060”
Pump input: 085”
Pump end: 0120”
Assign outputs:
ar Pa Co Pr
18 17 16 15
Preheating (00 ... 99”): time that the preheating output
(Pr) is activated before starting the diesel pump.
Start (00 ... 99”): time that the start output (Ar) is
activated to start the diesel pump.
Stop (000 ... 999”): time that the stop output is activated
(Pa) to stop the diesel pump.
Pump input (000 ... 999”): time between when the
diesel pump is running and when the pump 1 output
is activated. It is used to bring the generator set into
operation before starting the pump.
End of pump (000 ... 999”): time between when the
output of pump 1 stops and the diesel pump stops.
Outputs Ar, Pa, Co, Pr: corresponds to the Start, Stop,
Contact and Preheating outputs. If the Agrónic is dual
voltage, these outputs are assigned automatically to
the last four of the unit.

18 User Manual | Agrónic 2500
Parameters | Programs
The programs are those that manage crop irrigation
and fertilization. They control the opening and closing
of sectors and fertilization. The Agrónic 2500 has 50
programs.
PROGRAM PARAMETERS
Program: 12
Type of start: [ schedule ]
[ sequential ]
[ input ]
Units of irrigation: [ hh:mm ]
[ m3 ]
Program 12
Pre-irrigation: 00:00
Post-irrigation: 00:00
Program (00 ... 50): program number to be configured.
Start-up type (schedule | sequential | input): determines
how the program is to be started.
• Schedule: starts at a certain time.
• Sequential: starts when another program ends.
• Input: starts when the IP input is activated.
5.4. PROGRAMS
If the Sequential with 99:00 option is activated in
‘Function - 4. Parameters - 8. Installer - 5. Various’,
changing the start schedule to sequential can be
entered in the program. There is no need to do it from
parameters.
Irrigation Units (hh:mm | m3): determines which units
the program will use for irrigation. When the units are
volume (m3), the irrigation meter must be configured.
• hh:mm: hours and minutes.
• m3: cubic meters.
Pre-irrigation (00:00 ... 99:59): time or volume that
must transpire before starting fertilization. The units
and format are the same as irrigation. At 0, fertilization
begins the same as irrigation.
Post-irrigation (00:00 ... 99:59): time or volume that
must transpire between fertilizing termination and
the program termination. The units and format are
the same as irrigation. If fertilizing has not yet finished
when it arrives at post-irrigation, it stops and anomaly
26 is recorded. If irrigating and fertilizing by time and
the fertilization is series or parallel, there is no need to
run pre-irrigation. It is automatically calculated based
on the post-irrigation and fertilization time.

Parameters | Sectors
User Manual | Agrónic 2500
The sectors are the outputs where the irrigation valves
are connected. They are related to pumps and the ir-
rigation meter. The history stores the irrigation and
fertilizing that each sector totals. The Agrónic 2500 can
manage up to 30 sectors.
SECTOR PARAMETERS
Sector: 01
Sector: 01
Pump 1: yes
Pump 2: no
Sector: 01
Waterhammer
temporization: +028 “
Meter: yes
Planned flow: 015.50 m3/h
Sector (00 ... 30): sector number to be configured. The
output of the sector is linked to the sector number,
sector 1 with R1, sector 2 with R2, etc. There is an
exception when the Agrónic has AgroBee-L.
5.5. SECTORS
Pump 1 and 2 (No | Yes): yes if the sector requires pump
1 and/or 2 to be activated to irrigate.
Waterhammer timing (-127 ... 000 ... +127”): time in
seconds of delay between the opening and closing of
consecutive and general sectors.
• With positive values, the valve opens immediate-
ly when irrigation starts and stays open for the
number of seconds programmed when it ends.
• With negative values, the opening is delayed for
the number of seconds programmed and when ir-
rigation ends, it closes immediately. There may be
an exception if the sector is the last of an irrigation
sequence and the pump stopping timer is applied.
Meter (No | Yes): yes if the sector will use the irrigation
meter.
Planned flow (000.00 ... 655.00 m3/h): it is the flow
consumed by the sector through drip emitters, sprin-
klers, etc. It is used to distribute the irrigation and
fertilizing volumes in the histories and totals of the
sectors that irrigate at the same time.
Start/Stop a generator set
AgroBee or AgroBee-L option
With this option, the sector valves can communicate
remotely via radio, so that you can configure in the
sector which output the valve will be connected to.
It also enables an auxiliary output that can be common
with other sectors. Activated whenever any of the
sectors that have it configured are activated.
SECTOR PARAMETERS
Sector: 01
N. of output: 00000
N. of output: 00000
The first question about output number corresponds
to the sector and the second to the auxiliary output.
To configure AgroBee or AgroBee-L outputs, see the
table in section ‘6. Input and output coding’.

PIN security.
Like mobile phones, the Agrónic can be protected with
a PIN code so that it cannot be used if it is stolen. If
the Agrónic is without power for more than 10 minutes,
the PIN code will be requested when it is powered
again. If the correct code is not entered three times,
the Agrónic is blocked and the deactivation code (PUK)
is requested. To get the code, please contact Progrés.
Even if the Agrónic is blocked, the programs continue
to run normally and it will operate normally if there is a
connection to Agrónic APP/VEGGA/Agrónic PC.
To change the PIN code, first enter the current PIN,
otherwise it cannot be changed.
PIN code (0000 ... 9999): security code. At 0 PIN protec-
tion will not be used.
