STEP 2:
BUILD THE IRRIGATION
METHODS DATABASE
Using these steps, you will define the
elements SitePro needs to build the
irrigation methods database: nozzles,
site codes, and methods and sources of
ET (evapotranspiration).
These symbols highlight the steps you
need to complete for your selected
irrigation method:
= Basic (Direct adjustment of run times.)
I
= Intermediate (Adjustment of run times based on ET.)
II
= Advanced (Calculation of run times based on ET.)
III
Set up the Demand ET information (Setup > Environmental >Demand ET)
Station run times can be based on time or on ET. This section does not need to
be defined if you choose to run the stations on time-based data, as in the Basic
Irrigation Method.
Define the methods and sources of ET you want to use to adjust and calculate station
run times.
• Demand ET Summary
• TempET (Network 8000 field hardware only)
• Historical ET
• Water Budget
• Select ET Sources
Define site codes (Setup > Environmental > Site Codes)
Site codes are optional information. Complete this section of the database only if
you want to adjust ET, a group of station run times or create programs based on
site code factors.
Define plant and soil types, compaction and slope. This allows you to fine-tune the
watering time of individual sprinklers to meet specific site needs.
Select the Toro nozzles (Setup > Environmental > Nozzles)
Select the nozzles used in your irrigation system and fine-tune pressure, radius and flow
rates. A complete listing of Toro nozzles is already created in SitePro for this purpose.
The nozzle information is used in the Control System menu and is necessary for
Electro-Flow
to operate. Electro-Flow is SitePro's flow and electrical management
™
feature.
