Netafim FROSTIE User Manual

INTROduCTION
Every year growers suffer crop damage due to relatively brief extremes of temperature and humidity. Frost damage occurs at low
temperature, when leaf cells freeze and rupture. Heaters or sprinklers may be installed to protect against extremes, but are useless
if not activated in time, and costly and counter-productive if used unnecessarily.
FROSTIE automates the task of monitoring temperature and humidity. When FROSTIE preset thresholds are crossed, FROSTIE
raises an alarm. The alarm may use a solenoid or relay output to activate sprinklers, heaters or other protective equipment. FROSTIE

■
