Heron MI 144 Irrigation Controller

Heron MI-144 Irrigation Controller

Available in 16 Zones and expandable up to 144 Zones

Mi- Program SpecificationUp to 60 independent programs.

• Run up to 6 valves in parallel as standard
• Possibility to run up to 12 valves in parallel with additional output cards.
• Up to 64 automatic starts.
• Daily, weekly and variable period automatic starts.
• Automatic starts can be set to run on odd or even days.
• Valves can be individually named e.g. Lawn1, Bed1.
• Valves can be specified to run on a time or volume basis.
• Valves can be allocated to one of five water meters.
• An optimal flow can be entered for every valve.
• A minimum, maximum and pipe break flow rate can be specified for each water meter.
• Valve times can be set from a minimum of 1 second to 10 hours.
• Valves can be allocated to an irrigation group.
• Rainfall can be monitored over 1 to 4 days, irrigation programs can be reduced by 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%.
• Manually percentage adjust (0% to 250%) .
• Separate manual percentage adjust for programs and valve groups.
• Continual cycling of irrigation programs between specified time of day. Delay between cycles can be set from 1 minute to 9 hours.
• Manually start an individual program or valve.
• Manually start multiple programs.
• User can select which program to stop or manually advance if multiple programs are running.
• Pump pressurisation time can be set in minutes and seconds.
• Programs can be configured to start, stop, freeze or manually advance on a remote input.
• Up to 10 remote inputs can be connected.
• Programs can be allocated up to 5 pump starts or master valves.
• Valves can be defined as ‘special outputs’ to control external devices e.g. fill a pond, switch lighting.
• Valves can be defined for back flush use.
• Irrigation programs can be inhibited by wind speed or wind direction.
• Programs can be integrated with light, rain, humidity, temperature sensors.
• Irrigation can be controlled from a calculated evapotranspiration (ET) value.
• The ET value can be calculated using a variety of sensors depending upon the required accuracy.
• Programs can be attached to a dosing recipe.
