1. Fields of application 1.1 Irrigation System control for central installations Central irrigation control system for golf courses and large public parks, open air swimming pools, amusement parks and other public green areas. The “Greenkeeper” control system controls the decoders by a two wire decoder cable. The decoders open the connected solenoid valves at the time adjusted in the computer. One VCU is suitable for an irrigation control system with a hydraulically connected installation (see also ’’Schematic structure of the decoder control system”). 1.2 Irrigation control system for...

Wireless Transmitter (WT) The WT allows the communication with the control system about an autarkic radio network. The radio network will be installed at site (see picture – scheme drawing). With a free view to the antenna a coverage up to 2km is possible. If there is any obstacle due to the area, buildings or trees you can expand to the requested coverage with the installation of additional repeater stations. The WT can be used in all European countries without radio license. VCU for Greenkeeper control system Antenna cable PC with Greenkeeper control system Wireless transmitter Power...

Application ^ The WT is very robust and easy to use with only 5 functions keys ^ Ideal for manual watering and functional check of the system Features ^ „Start/Stop“ of the valves with preset runtime ^ „Start/Stop“ of irrigation programs ^ Easy valve searching by choosing different searching criteria ^ 3-line LCD display for menu navigation and user support Perrot REGNERBAU CALW GmbH Industriestrafle 19-29 / D-75382 Althengstett / Germany Phone : +49-7051-162-0 / Fax : +49-7051-162-133 E-mail : perrot@perrot.de / E-mail Engineering : technik@perrot.de
