The IPC is an intelligent solid set sprinkler controller. It is solar powered, managed remotely by mesh radio and is completely autonomous in its operation.
The IPC works with fixed sprinklers or pods that have pump-controlled reticulated water supply.
The IPC is a standalone, programmable timer-based device controlling the valve at each solid set sprinkler and provides variable rate irrigation (VRI) capabilities.
It is cleverly designed to operate an electrically driven solenoid latching valve, thereby turning the water on and off.
The timer is set to a schedule that most benefits the water distribution and the environment with up to 16 switching events during a pre-defined operating cycle: generally once or twice a day for the specified watering duration.
At the end of the operating cycle, it simply starts the process again. This continues until a change is made to the schedule. The cyclic operation runs without any external interference, providing the farmer with complete flexibility through its scheduling. The IPC is designed to reliably regulate water with optimum benefit of both water and ground conditions.
