Programming The Controller
A golf course application is used as an example for the
following instructions. The same principles and procedures
apply in general to commercial applications as well.
In this section we will take you step-by-step through the
programming process of the TouchNet controller.
In order to program the TouchNet for your application, you
will need to have the following system information on hand:
• An "as-built" plan of your irrigation system showing all
sprinklers and satellite controllers.
• Watering areas on the plan grouped into Flow Zones
(20 maximum).
• Total system flow.
• Maximum flow rate of each Flow Zone.
• Maximum flow rate of each satellite station.
• Optimum run time of each satellite station.
Stations can be grouped together for the purpose of making
adjustments easy, for example, Greens, Tees, etc. We call the
these groups "Programs".
For each program (12 maximum) you will need to record the
irrigation function in addition to the run time and flow rate of
the majority of stations which will be assigned to that program.
This data will be the default values entered during the satellite
programming procedure.
A worksheet pad has been provided with the TouchNet to help
you gather and organize all of the required system and satellite
data needed for programming.
On the following pages you will find an example of a typical
golf course system along with the completed worksheets.
As you begin the programming process you will be taken
through each step using this model as an example. Use the
information for your system to program the TouchNet for your
specific application.
