    1. DESCRIPTION OF BASIC FUNCTIONS Complete fertigation controller, entirely config- urable with great potential to use and with many extension and communication possibilities. Equipped to control irrigation, fertilization, pumping, filter cleaning and malfunctions detec- tion, providing detailed chronological records of events and totals.
  • Page 3 tion, etc. or by using a virtual sensor (by manual or SMS command) to modify the irrigation units of all the programs at the same time. Optionally, one program currently irrigating can be temporarily suspended by sensor values, such as wind, temperature, level, etc. Optionally, complete monitoring for the instantaneous flow of irrigation meters is also available, with programming of the planned flow in each sector and tolerances percentage based on excessive or de- fault values.
  • Page 4 To give a few examples, it can be used to terminate irrigation due to a broken pipe, delay irrigation due to the lack of water level or excessive wind, modify the volume of each irrigation according to the value of the soil moisture or the solar radiation the plant received since its previous irrigation or the evapotranspiration, terminate irrigation if a certain amount of rain has fallen since the previous irrigation, or send a warning to the owner for an attempted theft, etc.
  • Page 5 SMS MESSAGES This option offers the possibility of receiving SMS messages from the Agrónic 2500 regarding alarms, incidents, and selected workings, as well as the ability of users to send commands to start, stop or modify a program, set to “Stop”, etc. It can also send SMS messages to other controllers or devices related to an event or determining factor.
  • Page 6 EXTERNAL MODULES Optionally, it allows the connection to AgroBee radio modules, increasing the extension possibilities and the use of new features. This system is based on the ZigBee protocol operating at 868/915 MHz band. Using different mod- ules in the product line, digital sensors, analog sensors and the meters can be easily allocated away from the irrigation valves.
  • Page 7 or in manual stop mode. As for sensors, the manual commands permit values to be entered on a virtual sensor. As for Readings, there are new record and history sections. Chronological and detailed records  are made of each event occurring in the equipment. The history of the irrigation and fertilizer totals is based on the time and volume applied per sector, grouped in days in the equipment and in 10- minute fractions in the Agrónic PC program.

  • Page 8: User's Guide

    2. USER’S GUIDE The Agrónic 2500 is a complete irrigation controller whose features require the thorough awareness of the in- staller and user in order for the make the most of the unit, so we highly recommended reading this manual in full. The chapter on INSTALLATION [5] is intended for the installer who will be connecting the unit to the rest of the equipment that completes the automated irrigation system.

    4. DIMENSIONS 5. INSTALLATION 5.1. EQUIPMENT PLACEMENT 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 working of the unit. 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.

    5.2. CONNECTION LOCATIONS To connect the “built-in” equipment model, access the backside located inside the desk or closet. Here we find the connections for the power supply, inputs, and outputs on the 9-, 18- or 27- input models. What’s more, when more options have been installed, there may be connections...

  • Page 12: Connecting The Power Supply

    5.3.1. Connecting the power supply Power is supplied to all models using 12-volt continuous electrical current. For installations connected to solar panels, generators, or diesel pump motors, the equipment will be connected to a 12 V battery. In 110 or 230-volt systems, an accessory such as a 90-230 V / 12 V (50-60 Hz) power supplier is used to connect the equipment.

    5.4. INSTALLING THE OPTIONS 5.4.1. Diesel option When making the connections for the diesel motor start-up version, the following details must be taken into account: INPUTS: Oil pressure gauge OP. In the diesel starter version, the function of input of pressure gauge is automatically connected to input 6.

  • Page 15: Double Voltage Option

    5.4.2. Double Voltage Option Equipment installed with this option have a different output configuration that operates the last four outputs at 12 volts; these outputs are positive and is powered by the same electrical supply as the rest of the equipment. Their function is to activate the start-up and stopping functions of a generator.

  • Page 16: Latch Option

    5.4.3. Latch option The low power consumption in this option allows facilities to operate where the power is supplied by a single battery and a solar charger that uses a small battery attached to a 2- to 10-W solar panel, thus not having to charge it manually.

  • Page 17: Two Analog Sensor Option

    5.4.4. Two Analog Sensor Option With the Plus option activated, this option allows up to two analog sen- sors to be connected in order to measure different quantities (pressure, solar radiation, soil moisture content, temperature, etc.). This is used by the Agrónic PC program to record the sensors, or in the Plus Option to condition irrigation programs.
