Ideal for smaller operations the GSM unit communicates directly to the scheduling software. The unit functions independently and connects directly to the probe. Various add-ons can turn the GSM unit into a mini weather station, affording the user more precision over their irrigation scheduling and watering needs.
Technical Specifications of the GSM: -SDI 12 compatible -Rechargable battery with solar panel -GPS add-on option -Support for Davis Rain Gauge, digital temperature and humidity sensors -IP65 enclosure The wireless system allows the farmer to effectively use the irrigation scheduling program on a large scale. The AVC integrates seamlessly with this system giving the user a unique platform where irrigation scheduling and automation is married.
Technical specifications of the Router Gateway: - One router supports up to 20 probes and up to 50 AVC units -Converts 6LowPAN communication to GSM -Supports up to 20 mesh devices -Over the air firmware updates support -Solar / battery powered -SMS features The Router Gateway is responsible to communicate probe data to the software program, however it is the nodes that communicates probe data to the router. The wireless mesh network allows the nodes to search for the shortest path to the router, ensuring effortless communication. Technical specifications of the nodes: -Connection up to 700m distance with a clear line of sight -SDI 12 compatible -6LowPAN network communication -Battery / Solar powered -Onboard temperature sensor -14 days logging for 5 sensor probes at one hour sampling intervals -Over the air firmware updates support -IP65 enclosure The Automated Valve Control is certainly a special piece of technology. Developed by Sensorian, this little box has a few surprizes hidden beneath the sleek exterior. Some Technical Specifications: -Drive 2 or 3 latching solenoids -Solenoid output power up to 24W -Adustable solenoid drive pulse output -On/Off 24hr schedule per valve output -Forms part of a mesh telemetry network -Flow Pulse count input -Pressure transducer input -Continously battery powered with solar panel and MPPT charger -NEMA4, IP65 enclosure -6LowPAN network communication -5 cycle, 24hr schedule -Over the air firmware updates support The AVC paired with the wireless system makes it the only automation and irrigation scheduling system that is offered on one platform. That makes for some effective irrigation scheduling. The AVC has a sleeker design for those concerned with issues of theft. The KZN build, as pictured above, has been specifically designed to discourage solar panel theft and damage, whilst retaining all the features.
Paired with a pumpstart unit the AVC will operate on virtually any pump system. |
