1.0 QUICK START

1.1 QUICK TIPS ABOUT KEYS If you are familiar with computers and irrigation controllers, or you are just keen to get started, here are a few tips about the keys to get you started.

x First you need to press the PASSWORD key before you can enter a password.

x The SYSTEM STATUS key changes only the left hand side of the display and does not affect the screen that you are currently using.

x The EXIT key takes you back to the default status screen but does not undo changes you have made. (Older keypads may have a CANCEL key instead which does the same thing as the EXIT key).

x Function keys will jump you straight to the function that they select. Pressing the same function key again allows you to navigate through a function.

x You can also navigate using the NEXT and PREV keys in most cases.

x ENTER is required to confirm everything you type.

x Use the CLEAR key if you make a mistake. (will only remove the last action)

x The IRRIGATION STOP key is an emergency stop button that turns off all stations and pumps.

x To minimise the possibility of error, all times are in 24-hour format.

x The DONE key is used to go to the next step on multiple entry screens.

4.9 CURRENT PROFILE PROGRAM The current profile program is used to detect the deterioration of valve solenoids. It turns on each solenoid for three seconds in turn. This is done without turning on the pump. As each valve is turned on, the current consumption is measured. For consistency, the current profile program is configured the same as normal irrigation programs with five start times and a day table. The results of the current profile are stored in the controller for retrieval by the central control computer.

4.10 POND FILL PROGRAM The pond fill program is used to control a digital output which can be connected to a pump or outlet used to fill a pond or tank. This program uses the analogue level sensor to determine if the low start point or the high stop point has been reached.

7.0 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION This key will toggle through the configuration of the controller. The amount of values you can access will vary depending on the access you have. This menu sets up what is connected to the controller and how the controller will operate. Do not adjust these values unless you are authorized to do so as damage to the irrigation system is possible with incorrect settings.

Using the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION key the following information can be entered:

x Pump Configuration – This is the number of pumps physically connected to the controller. If no pumps are connected then set to 0 else up to 5 pumps can be configured. These pumps are in addition to the master valve output.

x Pump Control Method – This setting dictates how the multiple pumps will be controlled. There are 4 ways in which the pumps can be controlled, they are:

1) Flow – In this mode each station and pump has a flow rate. The controller will add the total flow required to service the active stations and run the appropriate pumps to give the required flow.

2) Program – In this mode every time a program is written or a manual control activated the user is specifically asked which pumps they need to run.

x Pump Configuration Fertigation Pumps – Set this parameter to 1 if a fertigation pump is connected otherwise set it to 0.

x Fertigation Program Mode – The fertigation pump can be controlled in two ways, time and volume. If you want the fertigation program to operate on a time basis set to 1, otherwise set to 2 if to operate using volume.

x Filter Configuration Filter Stations – This is the number of filter stations that are connected to the controller. If no filter stations are connected then set to 0 else up to 6 filter stations can be connected.

x Alarm Output – This creates an output that is activated when an alarm is active.

x Pond Fill Run Output – Set this to 1 to create an output that will be used by the pond fill program. (see 4.10 POND FILL PROGRAM)

x Local Station Configuration – This setting is the number of local stations connected to the controller. Local stations are the conventionally wired stations that are connected to the controller by a single common and a separate active for each station. These are usually 24VAC solenoids. The total number allowable will vary according to the number of pumps, fertigation and filter stations.

x Twin Stations Configuration – This setting will only be active if the TWIN (Two Wire Irrigation Network) port is set up in the system config and the number of TWIN stations connected to the controller via the TWIN translator is configured. A TWIN station is a station which is connected to the controller using only two wires, these wires can connect up to 96 stations. The controller will access these stations immediately after the local stations. This means that the first TWIN station will be addressed by the controller as the station number directly after the last local station. I.e. if there are 5 local stations and 10 TWIN stations the first TWIN station would be station 6 to the controller and the last TWIN station would be station 15.

x RIC Stations Configuration – This setting will only be active if the RIC (Remote Irrigation Controller) port is set up in the system config. This is used to set the number of stations connected to each RIC. There can be a maximum of 16 RICs with a maximum of 7 stations per RIC. A RIC’s stations entry will only be displayed if the previous RIC has an entry for the number of stations. i.e. RIC 2 number of stations will only be displayed if RIC

40

1 has stations set. The controller will access these stations immediately after the local stations and the TWIN stations. This means that the first RIC station will be addressed by the controller as the station number directly after the last local plus TWIN station. i.e. if there are 5 local stations and 10 TWIN stations the first RIC station would be station 11 to the controller.

x Pump Settings Duty Pump – This setting is only used when the pump control mode is set to flow. It is the pump which will be selected first when determining the pumps to run.

x Cancel When Power Out – The RAINMAN controller has the ability to resume any irrigation programs during power up that were running when power was lost to the controller. The Cancel When Power Out setting is the maximum amount of time the power can be off for to resume programs. If the power is off for longer than this time no programs will be resumed. The OFF key can be used to disable this function.

x Watering End – The Water End time is a time of day at which no automatic irrigation is to take place. If an irrigation program is running and this time of day is reached the program will be stopped and an alarm logged. The OFF key can be used to disable this function.

8.0 SERIAL PORTS The master controller board is fitted with four serial ports, named A, B, C and D. Serial ports on slave cards can not be used except to communicate with the master. Each serial port can be configured for either RS-232 or RS-485 operation via jumper settings. The positioning of the jumpers varies between board models but the numbering is consistent across all of them:

Port Jumper number RS-232 RS-485 A J17 remove 1-2

B J14 1-2 2-3

C J15 1-2 2-3

D J16 1-2 2-3 Note: the serial port jumpers only affect the receive side of the circuit. An incorrectly configured serial port will still be able to transmit data but will be unable to receive any response.

On the terminating ends of an RS-485 cable it is necessary to set the terminating resistors. Installing a jumper across pins 1-2 of the following connectors will enable the terminating resistors.

Port Terminating resistor jumpers

A J2, J3

B J4, J5

C J6, J7

D J8, J9

9.0 CONNECTION INFORMATION To maximize the available outputs on the RAINMAN Mp Grouping controller the output connections will vary depending on the following parameters:

x Number of pumps, fertigation pumps.

x Number of filter stations.

x Disable Output, Alarm Output, Pond Fill Output, Fault Reset Output ON/OFF

x Number of conventional stations.

On the RAINMAN Mp Grouping 15 the pumps will start from output 15 and work their way back. The output directly before the number of pumps will be for the fertigation output (if defined) and the filter stations will precede this fertigation output directly Disable output, Alarm output Pond Fill output and finally the Fault Reset output. The conventional stations will start from output 1 and through to number of conventional stations.
