2. BASIC FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Electronic unit for the control of irrigation, fertiliza-
tion, pH, pumping and filter cleaning, plus malfunction
detection and with the possibility of telemanaging the
data via PC or mobile phone.
Models with 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 80 and 96 config-
urable outputs, plus 12 signal inputs at the base. Ex-
tension of configurable outputs and inputs for the
reading of analogical and digital sensors; both by
direct connection to the unit or by means of field
modules via cable 24 Vac or Monocable, or through
the Agrónic Radio system. Possibility of programming
by time and volume, both in irrigation and fertilization
as in filter cleaning, with possibility of mixed
perform-
ance (independent for each sub-program).
By means of climatic or crop sensors, it can influ-
ence the start conditions or the irrigation and fertilizer
units.
IRRIGATION
It can control up to 99 irrigation sectors, gov-
erned by 40 sequential programs, with 12 sub-
programs in every sequence (total 480), and possibil-
ity of linking programs in order to carry out sequences
of 24, 36, or more sub-programs.
Every sub-program can activate from 1 to 10 irri-
gation sectors simultaneously.
Every program can start its performance at a
concrete time, when another program finishes, when a
sensor reaches a certain value (°C, soil moisture, etc.),
due to an input when a contact is closed, by mobile
telephone via SMS message. It can also start its per-
formance according to the days of the week, the irriga-
tion frequency (irrigate every day, every 2 days, every
3 days, etc.) or irrigate every day with several per-
formances. The period of the year when the program
has to work can also be indicated. In a start by sen-
sors, an active period and a margin of time between
starts can be chosen.
Modification of irrigation and fertilization units by
a manual factor or by sensors which will have an influ-
ence depending on their values from the previous
irrigation, such as rain, evapotranspiration, integration
of the solar radiation, etc.
When an irrigation is taking place, a program can
be cancelled temporarily by sensor values such as
wind, temperature, level, etc.
Grouping of programs up to 9 groups so that only
one program of every group can irrigate at the same
time.
Complete control of instantaneous flow of four
possible irrigation counters, with programming of the
expected flow in each sector and tolerance percent-
age both for excess or lack.
FERTILIZATION
Capacity to configure from 0 to 8 fertilizers, in in-
dependent tanks.
Independent pre- and post-irrigation values for
every program.
The time or volume of application of every fertil-
izer can be programmed independently for every sub-
program.
The use of mixers can be configured, with pre-
mixing and intermittent or non-stop mixing.
Fertilizers can be applied in two different ways:
 In series: one type of fertilizer after the other,
with just one injector. In proportional fertiga-
tion, independent proportions for every fertil-
izer.
 In parallel: several fertilizers are applied si-
multaneously, with one injector for every one
of them. In proportional fertilization, inde-
pendent proportions for every type of fertilizer
and sub-program.
The injection track can be cleaned automatically,
with water, between the application of different types
of fertilizer and at the end of the fertilization.
Reading of the instantaneous flow of fertilizers, as
in irrigation.
With the option of “control pH”, it can be con-
trolled by injecting acid or base with a reference value
independent for every sub-program. With values of
alarm by excess or lack in the reading of the pH and in
the electrical conductivity (EC).
It is possible to choose the control of pH at the
pre-irrigation and post-irrigation.
PUMPING
It has from 1 to 4 general irrigation outputs, which
can be assigned to sectors, with independent activa-
tion and deactivation temporizations. The general
number 1, by means of the “pressure regulation op-
tion”, can give a 0-10 volt Analog output, in order to
connect it to a frequency variator and maintain a pres-
sure in the irrigation pipe line independent for every
sector.
Optional control of a diesel engine, with outputs
for start, stop, contact and warming up. Start and stop
control of the electrical pumps.
FLOWS
Every irrigation sector can be assigned to one of
the 4 possible volumetric counters to irrigate in liters
or m
3
. In the totals, the volume of irrigation and fertil-
izer is shared in proportion to the nominal flow as-
signed to every sector.
The fertilizer is programmed in liters, deciliters or
centiliters with 8 counters.
FILTER CLEANING
Up to four groups of independent filters, with the
following values:
The number of filters to be used in every group
can be configured. Two cleaning times for every filter
group. Pause time between filters. The cleaning can
be started by the differential pressure and/or by the
time or volume of water circulation. Start or not of the

3
sectors when cleaning. Assignation of generals and
counters. Control of continuous cleanings.
MANUAL CONTROL
With manual control, you can start, stop and
leave out of service irrigation programs; out of service
or general Stop; start or stop the filter cleaning; end of
alarms and malfunctions; direct activation of the out-
puts.
READINGS
It can have the following records which are al-
ways updated:
 Sector totals and a general one to show the irri-
gation units in time and volume plus the calculated
flow and the applied units of every fertilizer.
 Anomalies which have taken place during a pe-
riod of several weeks, such as a power cut, flow cut,
filter cleaning, fertilizer without control, irrigation or
fertilizer counters, too much fertilizer, proportional
fertilization, lack of communication with external mod-
ules, due to inputs of general malfunction, definitive,
temporary or conditional stop, intrusion alarm, pH and
EC sensors, error in memory, start and pressure in
diesel engine, etc. All of them go with the day and
time when they took place and the most relevant data
in relation to the type of anomaly.
 New anomalies: with this record, the anomalies
that have taken place since the last visualization are
displayed.
 Record of the last 30 days, where the starts of
every program, the filter cleanings that have taken
place, the integration of the solar radiation and the
room temperature, the rain accumulated that day and
the evapotranspiration are showed. It will also show,
for every sector, the irrigating units which have been
carried out, the average of EC and pH applied and the
fertilizer units. When there is a connection to a PC, the
average of the readings of every half an hour, of every
one of the 30 days will be recorded from the first 20
sensors, and the readings of all the active life of the
unit can be stored.
 Sensors: with the instantaneous value of the dif-
ferent sensors connected to extensions, field modules
or Microisis connected to the Agrónic 4000.
 Connecting a personal computer (PC), the op-
erations are recorded, showing the day and time of
every operation carried out by the unit, such as
anomalies, irrigation starts with their main values, per-
formance of the filters, mixers, erasures, etc. The in-
formation can be selected by means of the date, pro-
grams and anomalies. The Agrónic 4000 has a re-
cording capacity of several weeks.
ALARMS
It can generate alarms for more than 20 different
conditions, activating one of the two alarm outputs
(general and fertilization), recording the anomaly and
sending a warning by GSM message if necessary.
VISUALIZATION
Lightened screen of 2 lines of 40 characters, with
internal contrast adjustment. Membrane keyboard with
23 keys and pulsing acoustic warning device. “STOP”
key.
MANAGEMENT THROUGH A PC
The unit can be managed through a personal
computer by means of a PC program for the Agrónic
4000.
It can be linked via cable (RS232 or RS485) or by
means of a telephonic modem (conventional or GSM).
Punctual information of the controller (recording,
incidences, situation of the irrigation, etc.) can be ob-
tained from the PC, giving the opportunity of acting on
the Agrónic, modifying parameters, programs, ranks,
etc., from any place using the PC.
SMS MESSAGES
Connected to a GSM modem, “SMS messages”
can be sent to a digital telephone, with alarms and
incidences and regular messages of pre-established
values. It can also receive orders such as start or stop
a program, set at “Stop”, modify the manual factor of
a program, give the value of a virtual sensor such as
the evapotranspiration, etc.
The sending of one or two reports a day about
the irrigations that have taken place to a mobile phone
can be configured

3. DIMENSIONS
4. INSTALLATION
4.1. PLACING THE UNIT
Place the unit at the right position and height.
Avoid direct sun exposure, humidity, dust and
vibrations.
Avoid proximity to any source of interference
which could affect the correct operation of the unit.
The A-4000 is made up of just one piece, except
the built-in models with more than 32 outputs, which
go with a second box.
In the “built-in mo-
del”, a hole is to be
done in the frontal part
of the wall or desk,
according to the mea-
sures in the section
DIMENSIONS. It will be
held with the screws of
the corners, using the
four pieces which are included in the unit.
The wardrobe must have a double isolation with
protection for the operation relationship to the net
power supply circuit.

6
In the “box” model, the unit is held by the upper
pieces at the corners and by the two holes placed at
the below cover of the connection housing, according
to the measures shown in the section DIMENSIONS.
In the version with "box", the equipment is
provided in a hermetically sealed (box IP65) with a
transparent front cover for the keyboard/display and
an opaque cover for the connection housing.
In order to maintain isolation of the box it is
necessary to maintain the covers always closed, as
well as install grommets at the outputs of the cables.
4.2. CONNECTION PLACING
In order to carry out the connections in the unit of
the “built-in” model, access the connectors placed at
the back.
In the “box” model, take the below cover off to
access the connectors.
The necessary terminals have to be taken out to
enter
the cables (do it with the connection cover on
and screwed, in order to avoid possible malfunc-
tions.).
It is advisable to link the cables to the terminals
with connection terminals, which are supplied with the
unit. (The terminals accept cables of up to 2.5 mm
2
of
section).

4.3. CONNECTION
The unit has to be installed following the
prevailing regulations for electrical installations. The
unit will not be completely protected if it is not used
according to the information given in the manual.
The unit has to be placed in such a way that the
elements which may get interferences, such as the
sensor inputs, the sensor power supply, the links to
the PC and modem, have their cables in the best
emplacement, so that they do not receive
interferences from power elements which might be in
their surroundings.
All the connection terminals of the Agrónic 4000
can be switched which allows a fast maintenance.
Progrés also offers a protection box for all the
terminals, in case there is a high risk of electrical
sparks from storms entering the cables.
4.3.1. Power connection
Before connecting the unit, it is necessary to
check its identification label where the characteristics
of the power supply are to be found.
The standard power supply is at 230 Vac, being
possible at 115
Vac. but it is
necessary to ask
Progrés about this
last one.
Connect the
phase and the
power supply
neutral to the terminals marked as “N” and “F”.
A 6 amp magneto-thermal switch is to be
included in the installation. It will be used as a
disconnection device and it has to be placed near the
unit at an accessible place for the user.
It is recommendable to do this as directly as
possible, avoiding that the same cable supplies other
devices. Use cable of the H05VV-F type, 1mm
2
.
The power supply input is protected by a fuse,
marked as General Fuse and a varistor.
The varistor might short-circuit the fuse
automatically, on detecting an overload on the line
(lightning, etc.). Replace it with one of the same
characteristics.
For unstable or fluctuating voltages use grid
stabilizers.
4.3.2. Earth terminal connection
The “built-in” model has a terminal screw to
connect the protection earth terminal (in the “box”
model it is not necessary as it has not got a metallic
casing). A pressed terminal will be applied to the
cable when joining it to the screw.
The box terminal marked as is internally
connected to the filters and protections.
Both the earth and the box terminals are used to
screen the circuitry, for this reason, it is very important
that the earth line is correctly installed and free of
electric noise. It is also used to protect the unit by
directing all electrical sparks through the internal gas
discharger to the earth. These sparks can come in
through the output cables when lightning strikes
during a storm.
4.3.3. Digital input connection
The different elements of the installation, such as
pressure gauges, levels, counters, etc. are to be con-
nected to the group of 12 terminals labeled as “Digital
inputs (D)”. This is done by connecting one contact
pole to the corresponding input and the other pole to
the 24 Vac “COMMON”.
Contacts must normally be open and free of volt-
age.
One of the 44 possible functions can be assigned
to everyone of the inputs in the section “Parameters-
Inputs”.
The inputs are optically isolated from the internal
circuitry and depend on the same 24 Vac power
supply of the outputs.
4.3.4. Output connection
All outputs are ready to work at 24 Vac (it is very
important not to supply the unit with voltages above to
30V).
The unit must have a external transformer with 24
Vac output and double isolation according to the UNE
EN61010 norm. Its input will be connected to the out-
put of the magneto-thermal switch which protects the
Agrónic 4000. The 24Vac output is connected to the
terminals marked with this voltage, entering a pole of

8
the output of the transformer into one of the terminals
marked as “COMMON / 24 V N”, and the other pole
into one of the terminals marked as “24 V F”.
Connect the solenoids, relays, etc. between the
output common “COMMON” and the corresponding
output.
Do not exceed the maximum power by output of
1 Amp and the general of 6,3 Amp. If this happens
insert external relays.
The “output fuse” protects from overloads and
short-circuits; to replace it half turn the cover of the
fuses box and replace it by another one of similar
characteristics.
The “AUX” terminal corresponds to the “PHASE”
of the 24 Vac which goes through the fuse. It will be
useful to connect auxiliary elements of manual com-
mand and extensions of relays above to 32 outputs.
The outputs are isolated from the internal circuitry
by relays and protected by a varistor at everyone of
them, plus a general gas discharger in the lines of 24
Vac.
The number of outputs can vary from 16 to 24,
32, 48, 64, 80 or 96 in the same unit. It is possible to
extend the outputs at a distance, in external modules
“via radio” or “via cable”.
The maximum number of sectors to be controlled
by the Agrónic 4000 is 99.
Every output can be assigned to an irrigation sec-
tor (one or more electrovalves) or to a general output
(pumps, filters, mixers, etc.). To do so, go to the sec-
tion of “Parameters-Sectors” or “Parameters-
Generals”.
4.3.5. RS232 and RS485 connection links
An Agrónic 4000 with RS232 option will have a
side connector where the power cable may be linked
to a PC and an adapter for connection to modem.
An Agrónic 4000 with RS485 link will have a side
connector (box model) or on the top (built-in model).
This link is always made with bifilar wire: wires A and
B. The connection shall be made by inserting wire “A”
in terminal “1” of the connector and wire “B” in termi-
nal “2”. To connect different equipment through RS-
485 communication a linear bus must be used, with a
single start and end; it must not be in star topology.

4.4. EXTENSIONS
On installing extensions in the Agrónic 4000, pro-
tecting measures have to be taken in order not to
damage the circuits. It is very important to disconnect
any connection to the mains to avoid electro-shock.
Follow the installation instructions enclosed in the
extension element.
4.5. MAINTENANCE
4.5.1. Fuses
In order to replace the fuses it is necessary, for
precaution, to disconnect the unit from the general
mains, half turn the cover of the fuse holder and insert
one of the same characteristics, as it is indicated at
the label placed next to the fuse holder. Spare fuses
are included in the unit.
The fuse marked as “General fuse” protects the
power supply input. Replace it with one of the same
characteristics as it may damage the unit if this is not
taken into account.
The fuse marked as “Output fuse” protects the
outputs from short-circuits. Replace it with one with
the same characteristics as it may damage the unit if
this is not taken into account.
4.5.2. Cleaning
The frontal part is cleaned with a slightly humid
cloth, disconnecting the unit from the mains previ-
ously.
4.6. CODIFICATION OF INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Both the analog and digital inputs as well as the digital outputs (relays) are coded using an 8-digit number
that indicates its physical location. Following tables are shown to help code them.
4.6.1. Digital outputs (relays)

Comunication: 8 Miscellaneous: 9
In order to get placed in one of the two screens of
the menu, press the up and down arrow keys. Then
press the number of the option and the “Enter” key.
6.1. FERTILIZATION PARAMETERS
Of the 8 possible fertilizers, the ones which are
going to work have to be configured. It has to be also
defined if the fertilization will be in series [1] (apply
one fertilizer after the other) or in parallel [2] (apply
several at a time).
Fertilisers number ( 0 – 8 ) : 3
Fertilisation series (1) parallel (2) : 1
Each one of the types of fertilization can be con-
figured to be applied one after the other or propor-
tionally to the irrigation units.
As shown in the picture above, the series fertili-
zation applies each one of the fertilizers for the total of
the programmed value once its addition starts. When
the series fertilization is programmed the totality is
applied before the next one. They are applied at a time
and in its totality when it is programmed in parallel.
They stop when the programmed units in one of them
finish. Look at the explicative drawings.
The proportional fertilization consists in apply-
ing each type of fertilizer not one after the other but in
several activations, with doses which will maintain a
prefixed proportionality in relation to the amount of
water circulating.
Proportional Fertilization (Y/N) : YES
F1 005/012 F2 005/014 F3 005/009 F4 010/002
If the proportional modality is chosen, at the se-
ries application format will ask for the proportions for
each one of the fertilizers and at the irrigation pro-
grams, the total quantity of water and fertilizer to be
applied to the crop will be programmed.
For example, the proportion “010/002” corre-
sponds to 10 irrigation units per each 2 fertilizer units.
These units can be in time (hours: minutes, minutes’
seconds’’) or in volume (m
3
, L, dl, cl), in relation to the
units each sub-program has.
At the parallel fertilization modality it does not ask
here for the proportions of the different fertilizers, but it
does for each one of the irrigation programs.
The pre-irrigation and the post-irrigation are inde-
pendently programmed in each program.
The way of acting of the proportional modality is
the next: the pre-fixed pre-irrigation is done, it applies
the programmed water/fertilizer proportion, when the
fertilizer units conclude, it will wait until the irrigation
units of the proportion conclude and it will apply an-
other proportional cycle. It will continue this way until
arriving at the post-irrigation or end of the irrigation in
the parallel application or it will wait until the fertilizer
units of the program conclude in the series one.

17
The unit allows to do a cleaning of the pipe lines
and injector with water at the end of each fertilizers at
the series application or at the end of them all in the
parallel one. If no cleaning is desired, leave the clean-
ing seconds at 0.
Fertilizer end cleaning : 018”
Each fertilizer can have its associated mixer, with
independent pre-mixing set on mixing and stop mixing
values.
Mixer 1 Pre-mixing : 035”
On/off mixing : 015” / 120”
The pre-mixing will enter when the irrigation in the
pre-irrigation units start. If pre-mixing is not desired
leave the value at 0.
The mixing will enter when starting the corre-
spondent fertilizer and will constantly act during the
whole application of the fertilizer if value is only given
in the set on seconds. If value is only given to the stop
seconds, there will not be mixing. Programming the
set on and stop temporization, the mixing will be in-
termittent.
At the proportional fertilization modality, the mix-
ers will act without having in consideration the pauses
of the fertilizer.

ing letters, it means more screens will appear when

6.2. FILTER CLEANING PARAMETERS
The filters cleaning is another important service of
the Agrónic range which allows to clean periodical
and automatically the four possible groups of filters by
means of a sequenced cleaning.
Before configuring the values for the cleaning of
this sector, it is necessary to enter in the sector [6.3]
of “General outputs parameters” to configure the
number and the outputs of each group of filters.
Each group of filters is independent, in its con-
figuration and operation, to the others.
First it will ask which group the values will be en-
tered for.
Filters group number : 1
To apply the cleaning two times can be pro-
grammed, of utility, for instance, when there are both
rings and sand filters, or when there is a first filter
which gets dirtier than the other ones. In case of being
the cleaning time common to all the filters of the
group, the values of the second subgroup will be left
at 0.
Let’s see a configuration example of a filters
cleaning group: there are 8 filters. The 4 first have a 30
second cleaning time and the others a two minute
time.
Cleaning time: 030” sub-g. 1 : 01 a 04
Cleaning time: 120” sub-g. 2 : 05 a 08
The pause time between filters is the delay in the
starting of each filter’s cleaning.
The units between cleanings correspond to the
time or volume of water circulating through the filters
to make a new cleaning of them. The units will be in
minutes, cubic meters or liters, depending on what
programmed in the “Irrigation units” of the “Flow pa-
rameters” (6.5).
The cleaning can also be started by a differential
pressure gauge connected to a digital input. When-
ever a filter cleaning takes place, the counter of units
between cleanings is reinitiated.
In order to avoid the filters cleaning by units,
leave the value at 0.
Pause time between filters : 04”
Units between cleanings: 02300
Answering affirmatively to the “Stop sectors when
cleaning” request, the sectors which have common
irrigation pumps assigned with those assigned to the

18
filters cleaning will temporary stop. Once finished, the
sectors will continue at the same point where they
stopped.
In order to avoid a continued filter cleaning, a
maximum number of cleanings can be configured.
When the programmed value is surpassed it enters in
the “Filter cleaning without control” malfunction. In
order to reactivate the cleaning go to the “manual”
function, “malfunctions” sector and stop it.
In order to count a cleaning as a continued one,
the time between one cleaning and another must be
of 5 minutes.
In order to avoid the control, leave the value at 0.
Stop sectors when cleaning : YES
Max. Num. of cleanings in a row : 3
At the following screen, the pumps and volume
counters are assigned to the filters group. With this the
next features are reached:
•Count the time between cleanings when
pumps irrigating and coinciding with the as-
signed in this sector, whenever at flow pa-
rameters the irrigation had been configured in
units of time.
•Count the volume between cleanings when
pulses of the volume counters coinciding with
the assigned here arrive, whenever at flow pa-
rameters the irrigation had been configured in
units of volume.
•Start the pumps configured here when the
stop of the irrigation sectors in the filters
cleaning has been ordered.
•Take into account the differential pressure
gauge correspondent to the group of filters,
whenever that any pump of the ones assigned
here is set on.

6.3. GENERAL OUTPUTS PARAMETERS
The general outputs necessary for the correct
working of the installation are configured in this sector.
Each function (pump, fertilizer, mixer, filter, etc.)
is assigned an output relay. This can be placed at the
base of the unit or in distance external modules by
cable or radio. Section 4.6.1 specifies how the eight
digits of the outputs are coded.
The Agrónic 4000 can control 4 independent irri-
gation pumps which will automatically start or stop if
irrigation sectors are set on and have the pump as-
signed.
An output relay has to be assigned to each
pump. In case of avoiding the use, leave the value at
0.
The start temporization corresponds to the time
the activation of the relay will be delayed since the
start is ordered. If the value is set at 0, the output acti-
vation is immediate.
The stop temporization keeps the output acti-
vated as long as programmed here when the order of
stop arrives. At 0, the deactivation is immediate.
Pump 1 Nº of output : 00000024
Temporisation on/off : 022” / 005”
The following four screens will be used to assign
output relays to the fertilizers and mixers set in the
installation. The ones which are not going to be used
will be left at 0.
In case of a common mixing to all the fertilizers,
the same output relay has to be assigned to all the
configured mixers.
Fertilizers F1 F2
Nº of output : 00000020 00000019
Fertilizers F3 F4
Nº of output : 00000000 00000000

Mixers F5 F6
Nº of output : 00000000 00000000
Mixers F7 F8
Nº of output : 00000000 00000000
If necessary a fertilizer general output can be
configured so that whenever one is activated, the
general one is activated too.

19
When applying water is necessary for the fertilizer
injector cleaning, an output relay will be assigned.
Fertilizer general output : 00000000
Fertilizer cleaning output : 00000000
An auxiliary output may be assigned for each of
the fertilizers. The output number of the relay may be
common for various auxiliaries, with which for example
can be obtained different fertilizers.
Auxiliary Fert. F1 F2
Nº of output : 00000025 00000025
Auxiliary Fert. F3 F4
Nº of output : 00000000 00000000

Nº of output : 00000000 00000000
Auxiliary Fert. F7 F8
Nº of output : 00000000 00000000
In this chapter it will be configured the filters
number for every one of the 4 independent groups
that the unit can control, in order to automatically
clean the filters.
For every group (G1-G4), enter the output relay of
the first filter and the last one, in the next example it is
assigned the 15 output for the first one and the 18 for
the last one, with this it is defined automatically the
control for 4 filters, always it has to be set from minor
output to higher. If it is necessary, it can be used a
general output that it will be activated anytime that a
cleaning of any filters group will be carried out, left to
“0” when it will not be used.
The other filters configuration values are intro-
duced in the chapter [6.2.] of “Parameters cleaning
filters”.
When there are a filters group not used, leave the
values to “0”.
Filters outputs G1: 00000015 to 00000018
Filters general outputs G1: 00000000
The units dispose of two alarm outputs, one of
general character and the other related to the fertiliza-
tion.
When the use is required, the correspondent out-
puts will be assigned in the unit.
General alarm output : 00000000
Fertilization alarm output : 00000000
The alarm outputs will be activated when an
anomaly takes place. The section “Anomalies reading”
shows which anomalies will activate the alarm if noth-
ing is set, although at the “installer configuration” the
fact of activating or not the alarm at each anomaly can
be modified.
The alarm outputs can act intermittently by giving
start or stop temporization, or fixed by giving them
when working.
The alarm output can be normally open (YES) or
normally closed (NO) configured, in order to have the
chance of activating sirens or telephone advisers, for
example:
Alarms, temporization, on/off : 008” / 030”
Alarm output normally open (Y/N) : YES

6.4. INPUT PARAMETERS
There are two kinds of inputs, the digital ones to
connect elements which act by contact (differential
pressure gauge, level, counter, etc.) and the Analog
ones for sensors which give a proportional signal to
the magnitude that has to be measured (temperature,
sun radiation, humidity, etc.)
Once the “Inputs” option has been chosen at the
“Parameters” menu, the following screen will be
shown to choose the type of input to configure.

Once the function has been entered, the number
of input has to be chosen, to do so, take into account
the chart of the section 4.6.2.
Sector 4.3.3 has to be taken into account to deal
with the installation and the connection.
For most of the inputs there is a common value
which is the “Detection delay”. This temporization
guarantees the time the input has to keep connected
to carry out its function.
The “General malfunction” function is used to
stop completely the unit due to the connection of a
security element. It is necessary to have any pump
general output operation in order to have the chance
of acting.
When a malfunction has taken place and then it
has been repaired, the “Manual Function” has to be
used in order to finish it and continue with the irriga-
tion proceeding at that moment at the same point
where it stopped.
Each one of the four filter group the unit allows
can start the cleaning by connecting a “Differential
pressure gauge”, which measures the difference of
pressure between the input and output of the filters.
When the power is switched on and the irrigation is
working, after the “detection delay“ temporization, it
will clean the filters.
For the 06 to 09 “Stop” functions, the input op-
eration can be configured in three different ways, be-
sides this, the stop inputs that each irrigation sector
has to use are configured at the “Sector parameters”
sector.
The ”Temporary” one will cancel the irrigation of
the sector or group of sectors in order to go to the
following sub-program. If the program is reinitiated, it
will try to irrigate the sectors were previously affected
by the input.
With “Conditional” the irrigation of the sector or
group of sectors is stopped and adjourned as long as
the input is connected. Once the input is discon-
nected, the irrigation will continue at the same point
where it stopped.
At the “Definitive”, all the sectors assigned to the
input will stop operation definitively. Enter at the
“Function-Manual-Malfunctions” to end the stop.
If in an irrigation program, a group of sectors is ir-
rigating and a “Stop” input is activated, all the group
will stop irrigating, even though not all of them are
assigned to the input.
The “Intrusion alarm” function is used to protect
from vandalism the installation. To do so, connect the
protection elements such as radars, door sensors, etc.
in series with the normally closed contacts, to the in-
put; the first one that opens, after the detection delay
temporization, will activate the alarm output and, if the
SMS messages option is installed, will send a text
message to a mobile phone (SMS messages sending
option).
The four possible irrigation counters, functions
11 to 14, can work with pulses transmitter from 1 to
10.000 liters.
It is necessary to enter the value in seconds of
the time between two pulses with the lowest operation
flow at the “Maximum time between pulses”. This de-
tects the fact that there is no irrigation flow. As an ex-
ample, we will calculate the time for a flow of 2 m
3
/h
and a counter of 100 liters:
2.000 L/h ÷3600 = 0,5555 L/sec.
100 ÷0,5555 = 180 seconds.
