OVERVIEW

Bailoy / GTI PC / Overview

Designed and manufactured by Bailoy in 1995, GTI PC was

one of the fi rst Windows-based PC systems in the irrigation

industry. Ever since its introduction, the hardware and

software powering its comprehensive features have been

regularly updated increasing its functionality further while

also enhancing the user experience.

GTI PC is available for sites that use either 2- or 3-core control

cables. The Gemini system is used with 2-core control cable, the

Trident system with 3-core. This makes it an ideal replacement

for older controllers such as the SC3000, CDS-DIU or Watermation

TW1 and TW2 and in most cases, can utilise the existing site

control cables, decoders and solenoids.


02

The GTI PC system consists of up to 4 DOUs (Decoder Output

Unit) and a fi bre-optic cable connection to a computer running

GTI software. The DOU is IP65 rated meaning it can be installed in

most environments allowing for simple retrofi tting into the existing

controller locations. If it is not possible to install the computer in the

same location, within 20m of the DOU, or a distributed system is

required, Communication Boosters can be installed meaning the

computer can be positioned within 1600m of the nearest DOU.

Each DOU is available in a 2, 3 or 4 control cable (CSG) option

with each CSG able to control up to 114 stations (109 on Gemini).

This fl exibility allows the design to be ‘made to measure’ without

the need to have unused CSGs, therefore reducing costs.

GTI PC uses multiple CSGs, which is better than single control

cable systems as a damaged CSG would mean you only lose

a small section of the system, not everything.

HARDWARE OVERVIEW

Bailoy / GTI PC / Hardware Overview



03

Distributed system

The GTI system can also be used as a distributed

system, where each DOU is installed close to the area

it controls. DOUs communicate with the computer

using communication boosters and telecom cable.

Each DOU is designed to report back immediately

when there are hardware issues, such as a blown

fuse. An extended test can also be performed from

the central computer.

DESIGNED TO BE

FLEXIBLE


04

Built-in decoder programmer

Programme, read and check your decoders

from the DOU using the GTI software.

Built-in pump start

A volt-free contact that can be used to

control pump systems. The contact is

closed when irrigation is taking place.

Rain switch input

Turn off irrigation when there is too

much rainfall.


Easy-access connector for programming decoders


05

EXTENSIVE HARDWARE FEATURES


Two alarm inputs

Both inputs are fully confi gurable with the alarm status

shown in the main window of the GTI software.

• The inputs can detect low system pressure, low tank

level and pump failure triggering alarms that can stop

the irrigation

• All alarm conditions are logged for reference

• Interrupted irrigation programmes can be restarted

later if required

Built-in surge protection

Each CSG output has a built-in surge protector. This device

can be replaced by the user when the need arises.

LED indicators to check DOU status

Invaluable for quickly diagnosing DOU hardware issues.

Status indicators inform user


06

Main software window

Bailoy / GTI PC / Software Overview

SOFTWAREOVERVIEW

GTI PC software is simple to use with guided steps for

every process and no confusing spreadsheets or multiple

windows. Once the database of site information has been

setup, the user could be irrigating in just a few minutes.

The combination of hardware and software will provide

the user with lots of features to setup and adjust

irrigation run times quickly and easily and view data

to diagnose any system issues giving precision-control

of their irrigation on a daily basis.

GTI was designed to be user friendly and specifically

based on:

• What do I want to water?

• When are my irrigation programmes scheduled to run?

• What is irrigating?

EASY TO USE


07


FLOW MANAGED SYSTEM

Flow managed system

This feature manages the hydraulic confi guration. It ensures pump capacity and

fl ow limits of the pipe distribution network are never exceeded which ensures

sprinkler heads maintain the specifi ed coverage at all times.

Confi guring pump stations:

• GTI PC can be confi gured with up to 8 independent pump stations. Each pump

will have its own hydraulic tree

• For simplicity and ease, a basic tree can be instantly created from a single click

Compensate the hydraulic behaviour for each station to allow for:

• Different valve pressure settings or elevation

• Slow-closing valves, to avoid temporarily exceeding the fl ow from the

associated pump system or in the supply pipes

The strict fl ow management creates a near constant fl ow from the pump station,

which also helps minimise pump wear.


08

INTUITIVE ONLINE

MANUAL


Easy to use screen layouts

Simple guided steps, no confusing spreadsheets or multiple windows.

Online help manual covering all aspects of the software and hardware.

Each window in the software has a help button. When selected, it opens

the manual at the correct page.

The manual also explains how to wire decoders, operate the remote

control, and has a quick-learn tutorial to get you started.

Support button

Click this button when requested by the Bailoy support technician to

gain access to GTS Support. See GTI-PB-011 for further information.

System status area

‘At a glance’ view of the next scheduled irrigation programme, pump

station flow, total water consumption for month, and the most recent

logbook entry.

Online manual always available through help button


09


Irrigation programmes

Create irrigation programmes for one, multiple or all

of your stations, for any application. With up to 256

programmes every possible setup option is available.

Setup by time (minutes) or precipitation (mm) to create

your preferred routine irrigation programmes or for when

specifi c-to-course treatments are needed.

No need to write an irrigation programme for one off

requirements. Instead a start time is chosen and irrigation

times/precipitation is set for the required stations, meaning

you could add thousands of individual programmes to the

irrigation schedule.

Remote control

As well as the DTMF Radio Remote option, the software

also offers a dedicated window that allows the operation

of a virtual radio handset on a 3G/4G enabled device

(smartphone, tablet, etc.) without the substantial fi nancial

investment required for the radio hardware, aerial and

installation costs.

The virtual handset is used to select stations for immediate

irrigation and to stack the stations in a queue when the

number of requested stations exceeds the hydraulic

limitations of the system. The codes required to select

stations are designed to be easily remembered.

Manual irrigation

Select multiple stations for manual irrigation quickly

from a list of courses and holes. Stations can be irrigated

sequentially or within the shortest time possible. Like

all other options, the manual irrigation feature is fl ow

managed, too.

Adding the optional VIP feature makes the manual irrigation

easier and visually clearer.


10


VIP maintenance centre

A feature that is used to quickly add new stations or move/delete

existing stations and sprinkler heads from the graphics without

needing support from the installer or manufacturer. Please note

VIP option required, see GTI-PB-012 for further information.

Rapid programming

Purposefully designed to setup irrigation programmes to cover

the whole area/course in just a few clicks. You can then let the GTI

system do the hard work for you.

Diagnostic test facilities

Test the operation of a single, selection of, or all stations,

with results stored in the easy-access diagnostic logbook:

• Test by station, course, hole or VIP graphically-displayed selection, CSG

• The diagnostics includes an option to pause before each hole is

tested allowing for a service technician to check the (sprinkler head)

operation without an assistant

• Diagnostic logbook allows for data to be analysed after the tests

are complete meaning the service technician can work on other

jobs while diagnostic tests are in progress

• When diagnosing sprinkler heads, stations can be given different

test durations, allowing for physical sprinkler inspections

Visually displayed diagnostics


11

MONITORS WATER USE


Water consumption records

The GTI software logs the calculated water consumption for all controller based irrigation whether

scheduled programmes, manual, remote control or diagnostic tests. Consumption from the current

or previous years can be viewed and compared as a list or visually.

Water consumption shown as list Water consumption shown visually


12

Operational logbook

The logbook is used to record events from multiple

programme conditions such as every time an

irrigation programme is completed or stopped.

The irrigation programmes, together with logged

information such as system faults and precipitation,

are stored for later historical reference or analysis.

The addition of VIP allows instant analysis of all faults

recorded within a selected period. As a result a service

technician can instantly recognise where a cable or joint

problem might be.

OVERVIEW

Bailoy / GTI EC / Overview

GTI EC controllers are economical irrigation systems for smaller

sites on a modest budget, yet retain many of the powerful

features found in their GTI PC stablemate. Available in Pro and

Lite editions, GTI EC customers now have a choice with how

they want to irrigate.

Both editions are available for sites that use either 2- or 3-core

control cables. The Gemini system is used with 2-core control

cable, the Trident system with 3-core. This makes them an ideal

replacement for older controllers such as the SC3000 or

Watermation TW1 and TW2 and, in most cases, can utilise the

existing site control cables, decoders and solenoids.

Forwards and backwards compatible with all equipment

manufactured by Bailoy, means both GTI EC editions are fully

upgradable or flexible to your existing infrastructure.

02

Bailoy / GTI EC / Hardware Overview

The GTI EC uses a single DOU (Decoder Output Unit) with 4 control cable outputs

(CSGs) available allowing control of up to 448 stations (436 on Gemini). The DOU is

IP65 rated so can be installed in most environments allowing for simple retrofitting

into existing controller locations.

The DOU is connected to a dedicated touch screen tablet, running GTI EC software.

This can be installed up to 10 meters from the DOU using a fibre optic cable, or up to

1600 meters using a Communication Booster.

Bailoy / GTI EC / Software Overview

The GTI EC Pro is designed to flow manage all your

irrigation requirements.

Irrigation programmes are scheduled by Hole/Area or

station priority. The software then automatically irrigates

in the quickest and most efficient order. Alternatively, the

programme can be scheduled using the step sequence

feature. This allows users to design up to 10 unique

sequences to suit their irrigation needs.

The GTI EC Pro has a comprehensive email report and

alert feature, providing a range of diagnostic data and

alerts on programme and station issues.

The GTI EC Lite is designed to emulate older controllers

like the SC3000 and TW2 by using the step sequence

feature. This allows users to design up to 10 unique

sequences to suit their irrigation needs.

The GTI EC Lite can be upgraded to benefit from flow

management and email features by simply ordering

a feature unlock key.
