Products-weather monitoring

• L75 model is upgradeable from a prediction system with Thor PC included for computer viewing to a full programmable system capable of controlling an number of the company’s horn systems

• Other L75 models include single horn-alert capabilities and equipment switching

• Optional software can distribute real-time data from 10 to more than 100 users

• Incorporates the latest circuitry and circuit board design in a small but reliable and affordable package

• Multi-channel data logger measures and records soil moisture and temperature

• Used where data needs to be collected in multiple locations and then analyzed on a PC

• Based on smart sensor technology: sensors are recognized by the station without complicated wiring, programming or calibration requirements

• Compact size (3.5 inches wide, 4.5 inches high, 2.1 inches in diameter)

• Convenient data off-load options

• Converts standard RS-232 serial communications ports to bidirectional fiber-optic links

• Replaces copper serial data lines with fiber-optic cable

• Provides enhanced reliability over twisted-pair, short haul modems

• Instant termination – no connectors, crimping, polishing or epoxy

• Complete autonomy from external power supplies

• Measures rainfall and calculates the evapotranspiration rate

• Allows user to compute the net difference between rainfall and irrigation applied and amount of water lost to run-off

• Allows multiple calculations of evapotranspiration for varying mowing heights and types of grasses

• Allows user to set alarms for certain weather conditions

• Stores historical data and time of weather conditions

• Helps reduce water and chemical use

• Version 4.0

• Helps superintendents maximize water management and conservation practices

• Can be installed with all Rain Bird central controls

• Uses rain cans to measure rain as it falls

• Can cancel or pause irrigation

• Determines the type of rain event the site experiences

• Safe for a hydraulic network

• Provides reliable pH readings from 3.5 to 8.0 and water moisture from 0 to 100 percent

• Operates through natural electric charge generated from soil through the metal side plates on the probe

• Accurate to +/- 0.2 on pH and +/-10 percent on moisture

• Includes instructions and carry case

• Requires no chemicals, distilled water or outside power source

• Requires conditioning film to clean side plates

• Provides information about soil-moisture content, salinity and temperature

• Helps to optimize watering and fertilization

• Permanently placed underground below the root zone

• Measures electrical response of soil types by two parameters: dielectric constant and conductivity

• Dielectric constant is most indicative of water content; conductivity is dependent on soil salinity.

• A thermistor determines soil temperature

• Ideal where multiple sensor measurements are required for temperature, soil moisture or rainfall data

• Can be customized by choosing as many as eight plug-in sensors, including option for one rainfall sensor

• Features a built-in data logger that stores measurements until user transfers data to PC

• Measurement intervals of one, 10, 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes

• User can add as many as four plug-in sensors
