9.2  TABLE FOR PRE-AND POST-IRRIGATION 
 
In order to correct irregularities at the beginning or at the end of the irrigation strip the ECOSTAR has the 
function pre- and post-irrigation. The precipitation height at the beginning of the strip (pre-irrigation) and at 
the end of the strip(post-irrigation) is reached by short interruptions of the cart retraction. The downtime for 
the pre-and post-irrigation is adjusted at the ECOSTAR with the program constant 2 and 3 on the parameter 
sheet no.1. The program constant 8 was pre-set in the factory. 
 
This factor links the retraction speed of the sprinkler with the pre- and post-irrigation time. The adjusted 
factor can be changed, whereby pre- and post-irrigation changes.  
 
The following table shows the pre-and post-irrigation times in minutes (rounded) at different adjustment 
factors:
