3.2.4 QUANTITYThe Quantity method injects a fixed amount of fertilizer in the irrigation water. When using
the Quantity method, there are two options:•

Option A: Bulk (similar to Time method). In this option, fertilizer is injected once,with the quantity defined in this screen.

Example: Channel 1, P1 = four liters in one pulse• Option B: Spread (according to dosing configuration set by a technician). Option B
is similar to Proportional Time. In this method, fertilizer is spread out by quantity
over the irrigation run time.

Example: Channel 1 = P1 + P2 + P3…+ Pn = 4 liters

Example 3: Irrigation Program for a Group and Individual ValveIn this example, Valves 1 and 2 are designated as a group. Valve 3 is designated as anindividual valve. There are different/interchangeable delays (multiple start time) dividing
the day into periods.
The first cycle’s (C1) run time begins at 8:00 (Valve 1 and 2). Valve 3 begins operating at its
run time. In this example, Valve 3 begins operating after Valve 1 and 2 finishes. This process
is repeated once (C2), with a break of one hour between cycle start times.
Cycle 3 (C3) begins at 10:30. In this cycle, there is a 30 minute break between cycles (C4).
The process continues as shown in the graph below.

3.3.2 ADJUSTING THE WATER QUANTITY BASED ON WEATHER CONDITIONSThe Green Field ECO enables you to manually increase or decrease the quantity of water
on any given day. Depending on the weather conditions, you can change the quantity ofwater emitted from valves without changing the program.
Example 4: Increasing Irrigation
In this example, water is supplemented by 20% to compensate for an increase in heat. If
the regular run time is 10 minutes, the actual run time will be 12 minutes. All otherspecifications are the same as those found in Example 3.
NOTE The change to the programs affects both Valves 1 and 2, and Valve 3.
NOTE Dosing is not affected when using this function, only the quantity of water.
There are two options:• Daily: Program adjustment is for one day only. Regular program resumes thefollowing day.
• Const: Program adjustment continues until changed.

3.4 Irrigation Based on External Conditions
Irrigation can be controlled by input from dry contact or analog sensor triggers.
•

If the Irrigation Program is active, these programs can only function after the
Irrigation Program is completed.

•

If the Irrigation Program is inactive, these programs can function during thedefined time frame.

•

In both cases, irrigation begins only when external conditions meet the userdefined requirements.

Irrigation programs can be controlled via dry contact input or analog sensors fromperipheral equipment (for example, filling a water tank according to level float switch).
When using dry contacts or analog sensors, set the following:•

Time frame that the program can operation•

Which trigger input starts and stops irrigation•

The trigger type:o One Shot: Irrigation runs onceooMulti Shot: Irrigation continues to run until a stop signal is received
Only If On: Used when there is one switch only. Irrigation continues as longas switch remains on

Green Field ECO supports up to 15 extension programs defining which trigger initiates
irrigation. In each program, the start and stop trigger must be the same type (meaning
both must be dry contact or analog sensor).
To configure an irrigation program triggered by external condition:

3.5 Irrigation Based on Radiation Sum
Green Field ECO enables setting an irrigation trigger based on a radiation sum limit(joul/cm² = energy). When using this option, set the following:•

Start Time: Start Time is when the unit begins measuring radiation levels to
implement the irrigation program.

•

Clock Start: Number of cycles. 0 (zero) means that this program is disabled. 1 (one)means that this program runs one time after time-based irrigation is completed. 2(two) means that the program runs twice, and so on.

•

Radiation Sum Limit: This parameter determines the minimal amount ofaccumulated radiation required for irrigation to start.

•

Minimum Time: When irrigation begins, Green Field ECO erases the current
radiation sum and restarts the count. Minimum time is the minimal amount oftime between irrigation starts, even if the radiation sum has reached its limit.

•

Maximum Time: This parameter determines the maximum amount of time between
irrigation starts, even if the sum limit has not been reached.

In the example below, between 8:00 – 10:00, the Radiation Sum Limit is 300; between
10:00 – 16:00 the limit is 150. Since during the afternoon hours there is a greater amount ofsunlight, the user lowered the limit to ensure that they receive sufficient amounts ofirrigation.

3.6 Irrigation Based on VPD Sum
Green Field ECO enables setting an irrigation trigger based on Vapor Pressure Deficit(kPa•min). The Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) is a measurement that incorporates both therelative humidity (RH) and the temperature. When the VPD is high, that means that the RH
is low or the temperature is high. Irrigation begins when the VPD reaches the user-defined
limit.

Irrigation based on VPD Sum can take place only during the VPD time frame. Refer to 6.1
SETUP > TIME & DATE to define the start and end time for VPD Sum. Normally, thisparameter is defined during installation.
•

Start Time: Start Time is when the unit begins measuring and calculating VPD
levels to implement the irrigation program.

•

Clock Start: Number of cycles. 0 (zero) means that this program is disabled. 1 (one)means that this program runs one time after time-based irrigation is completed. 2(two) means that the program runs twice, and so on.

•

VPD Sum Limit: This parameter determines the minimal (accumulated) VPD
required for irrigation to start.

•

Minimum Time: When irrigation begins, Green Field ECO erases the current VPD
sum and restarts the count. Minimum time is the minimal amount of time between
irrigation starts, even if the radiation sum has reached its limit.

•

Maximum Time: This parameter determines the maximum amount of time between
irrigation starts, even if the VPD limit has not been reached.

3.7 Introduction to the Influence Program
Green Field ECO enables adjusting irrigation settings according to the following factors(labeled “Influences” on the screen):•

Solar radiation•

Amount of drainage•

Amount of fertilizer present in the drainage

•

VPD

•

Temperature

These Influences can adjust the following irrigation settings:
•

EC

•

Radiation Sum (RadS)•

Minimum Rest Time (MinT)For example, a grower may want to increase the EC based on the Solar Radiation.
Alternatively, he may want to decrease the MinT based on the drainage.

3.8 Using the Influences•

Set an Influence to increase or decrease the setting.

•

Changes to the setting are in percentages (for example, a 10% increase in the EC
level).

•

Several Influences adjust the EC setting. The final adjustment amount is based on
the sum total of the different Influences.

•

You enter up to three points for each Influence setting. Green Field ECO
automatically calculates the curve based on these points.

•

You can program up to 15 different programs (corresponding to the 15 irrigation
programs)•

After configuring an Influence, you must enable it (under ACTIVE/SOURCE).

•

Description

Water Fill Up(min)Time of filling the main irrigation line. In that time, the system will
ignore high flow alarm and won't implement a filter flushingprocess.

Water Leak (m3or Gal)Quantity of water leaking while the system is in idle.

Water Leak Period Time frame to measure the water leak quantity(hh:mm)Example: 1m3 leaks in less than 30 minutes
Identify LeakSubtr. Meter?

This setting is relevant only when working in "Water source" method.
User can ignore or identify a water leak.

Dosing Channel
Leak Delay (s)Delay between switching off a dosing channel and generating
dosing leak alarm.

Dosing Channel
Leak (Pulse)

Number of pulses (by dosing meter) during the delay above togenerate an alarm. Example: 10 pulses in 3 seconds generate an
alarm.

Dosing Flow
Difference (%)

Difference between calculated and measured dosing channel flow.
Example: Dosing Channel 1 defined by technician as 100 liter/hour,
but if the system measured less than 75 liter/hour or more than 125
liter/hour, an alarm will be generated.

6.3 Uncompleted Irrigation
The Uncompleted Irrigation table provides information of irrigations that were started but
could not be completed due to a failure. To understand why irrigation was not completed, it
is advisable to cross-reference between this table and the Alarm Definition in section 4.3.
The Uncompleted Irrigation table consists of up to 200 lines. Note that if the letter 'C'
appears, it refers to a program that was triggered by condition program.

In order to manually stop an uncompleted irrigation you must go to the START/STOPVALVE in section 3.3 because the activation is according to single valves.

6.4 Uncompleted Programs
The Uncompleted Programs table provides information on programs that could not becompleted. It is important to understand the difference between this table and theUncompleted Irrigations table; this table consists only of irrigation cycles that haven’t been
started and could not be completed during the current day. This can happen due to wrong
system setup (more tasks than could be completed), or because the system was not active

for a long period of time, for example due to a power failure, and could not complete its
tasks.
