Real Time Flow Monitoring
With this feature, users can connect a flow meter to the irrigation system and detect high or low flow conditions. The system can then automatically react to alarms based on user-programmable parameters.
The controller is able to learn typical flows for each irrigation zone and continuously monitor system performance during automatic irrigation. When the system detects incorrect flows, it can accurately identify the faulty station and shut it down, whether it uses normally-open or normally-closed master valves.
Flow Scheduling / Flow Budgeting
The ACC2 is a smart irrigation system with advanced capabilities. It can schedule stations on up to 6 flow zones simultaneously, thanks to its built-in intelligence. It constantly monitors the system for issues like breaks, leaks, and electrical faults. In case of any problems, it suspends irrigation and accurately identifies the source of the issue.
Moreover, the ACC2 can respond to sensor input with specific actions, such as switching water supplies when water levels drop or initiating a program when soil moisture is low.
Solar Sync-Delay / Rain-Delay
With the Solar Sync Delay feature, users can defer seasonal adjustment changes made by Solar Sync for a period of up to 250 days when setting up a new landscape. During this delay, users can set a fixed percentage to be used. Once the delay period is over, the controller will automatically switch to sensor adjustment mode.
Easy Retrieve™ Memory
A manual back-up utility that stores complete controller scheduling and setup information in back-up memory.
Conditional Response
The innovative Conditional Response features of this irrigation system utilize sensor input and other conditions to trigger pre-programmed actions automatically. This allows for a variety of customized responses to fit unique needs.
For example, based on level sensors, the system can switch from one water supply to another during scheduled irrigation. It can also start specialty programs automatically based on sensor input or other specific conditions.
Password Protection with User Management
This irrigation system provides password protection with user management, enabling users to create multiple user IDs with individual PIN numbers and two levels of access.
With Crew level access, users can perform manual operations and view programming, while Admin level access allows for modifying programming and other settings. When User Management is enabled, operators will be required to enter their PIN before operating the controller, providing an added layer of security.
Furthermore, the system maintains a user log, which records user log-ins for future review in the controller log. This feature ensures that the system is only accessible by authorized personnel and provides accountability for all system actions.
MAINSAFE™ Water Source Protection
MainSafe™ is an advanced water source and mainline protection feature that operates above the flow zone level. By utilizing a dedicated flow sensor and master valve, It provides an additional level of protection to long runs of mainline pipe.
Moreover, MainSafe™ allows for dedicated lines for manual irrigation and monitoring of monthly usage budgets for multiple flow zones. This feature provides a high level of control over the water usage in the irrigation system and maximizes water efficiency.
Delay Between Stations
Users can program a delay between stations as the controller advances from one station to the next. This delay can range from a few seconds (to permit slow-closing valves additional time to close) to a much longer period of time (to allow pressure tanks time to recharge), based on user requirements.
Calendar Days Off by Date
ACC2 allows users to specify Calendar Days Off up to a year in advance. Create a list of dates on which the whole controller will not be allowed to run, regardless of Water Day settings
Sensor Programmability
The ability to specify which program will be shut down in response to a specific sensor alarm. This allows programs unaffected by the sensor to continue automatic operations.
Cycle and Soak
The Cycle and Soak feature is designed to save water by preventing runoff from slopes or saturated soil. It enables the operator to specify a maximum cycle time for each station, followed by a minimum soak time.
With this feature, the operator can enter any run time, and the controller will automatically divide it into cycles to allow water to be absorbed during the soak periods. This helps to ensure that the water is effectively utilized and prevents wastage.
Moreover, the Cycle and Soak feature is adjustable for each individual station or Block of stations, enabling the system to be customized for unique soil and site conditions. This enhances the overall efficiency of the irrigation system, saves water, and promotes healthy plant growth.
