Extensive Optional Features List - Select the features you want from a list of options. The features will then appear in the controller’s Main Menu for you to use.
Extensive Program Options - Name valves, up to 12 valves in parallel, 64 auto starts, irrigate on time or volume.
Sensors - Integrate with our sensors, weather stations and dosing systems.
Irrigation Control Options - Irrigation can be controlled by light, rain, temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction or flow meters.
Flexible Operation - Standalone or operation through smartphone, tablet or PC.

Program Specification

Up to 60 independent programs.
Run up to 6 valves in parallel as standard
Possibility to run up to 12 valves in parallel with additional output cards.
Up to 64 automatic starts.
Daily, weekly and variable period automatic starts.
Automatic starts can be set to run on odd or even days.
Valves can be individually named e.g. Lawn1, Bed1.
Valves can be specified to run on a time or volume basis.
Valves can be allocated to one of five water meters.
An optimal flow can be entered for every valve.
A minimum, maximum and pipe break flow rate can be specified for each water meter.
Valve times can be set from a minimum of 1 second to 10 hours.
Valves can be allocated to an irrigation group.
Rainfall can be monitored over 1 to 4 days, irrigation programs can be reduced by 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%.
Manually percentage adjust (0% to 250%) .
Separate manual percentage adjust for programs and valve groups.
Continual cycling of irrigation programs between specified time of day. Delay between cycles can be set from 1 minute to 9 hours.
Manually start an individual program or valve.

Programs can be configured to start, stop, freeze or manually advance on a
remote input.
Up to 10 remote inputs can be connected.
Programs can be allocated up to 5 pump starts or master valves.
Valves can be defined as ‘special outputs’ to control external devices e.g. fill a pond, switch lighting.
Valves can be defined for back flush use.
Irrigation programs can be inhibited by wind speed or wind direction.
Programs can be integrated with light, rain, humidity, temperature sensors.
Irrigation can be controlled from a calculated evapotranspiration (ET) value.
The ET value can be calculated using a variety of sensors depending upon the required accuracy.
Programs can be attached to a dosing recipe.
