It is advisable that this order is followed when working through the
manual and setting up your boom:
1. Key Concepts
2. Initial Power Up
3. Diagnostics
4. Setup
The
Network Irrigation Controller
(hereafter NIC) was designed to provide
flexibility and control while maintaining a simple menu-based programming
system. While still sophisticated, the NIC still attempts to tailor to the grower.
Through the various programmable speeds along with left and right solenoid
control, the NIC allows operators to manipulate water usage and time needed
when watering crops. The controller’s advanced memory features allow an array
of customized options for programming. Growers will find the ease of use and
the accuracy of the controller reassuring, as it can be taught to anyone with very
little training.
The NIC can hold up to
14 different Time Zones
, each containing a specific
start and end time. These Time Zones can all be run simultaneously or
separately and can be programmed with individual, customized time delays
(
Intervals
).
After the time zones are established each one may be programmed with “
Jobs”
.
The NIC is able to store up to 60 “Jobs” for each direction, in each Time Zone.
Each job within a Time Zone can have its own speed as well as solenoid valve
pattern giving you a vast array of watering options.
As you set up your NIC for the first time, read through each section of this
manual before implementing the steps described therein. This will help eliminate
unnecessary confusion and frustration. If you need help with terms, please refer
to the definitions section at the end of this manual.

This is a given period of time. Your NIC uses a 24 hour format:
1:00 PM = 13:00 10:00 AM = 10:00
12:00 AM = 00:00 10:00 PM = 22:00
