After entering the last data of a program, the cur-
sor will be placed again in the program number.
In series fertilization, the sum of the times of dif-
ferent fertilizers and plus the configured post-irrigation
time, plus the separation time between fertilizers (if
more than one is used), must be inferior or equal to
the irrigation time.
The controller calculates this value when the last
fertilizer has been programmed and, if the total is in-
correct it will ask for the first fertilizer again.
The controller automatically distributes the fertil-
izer in the following way (if only one fertilizer is pro-
grammed it will occupy the second place in the ex-
ample).
When the fertilizer number is 3 or 4 the program
information it is distributed in 2 screens, one for the
fertilizers 1 and 2, plus a second for the rest. The two
screens have in common the sector, day, start hour
and irrigation time.
Thereby, when more than two fertilizer will be
programmed, always it will shown two screens by pro-
gram. The two of them will be similar with the only
difference of fertilizers as it is in the example, that it is
the second screen of program 7 showed in the last
example.

For the fertilization in parallel, first of all in “in-
staller configuration”, it has to be defined that the fer-
tilizers will be injected like this. The programming will
be the same as in series.
The fertilization in parallel can be done through a
multihead injector or with one injector for each one of
the installation fertilizers.
The fertilizer will be applied like it is shown in the
next picture.
Parallel fertilization is only possible within a sin-
gle program. If fertilizations have been program-med
in various programs which coincide in time, fertiliza-
tion error will occur.
7.1.1. Sequential programs
When various sectors have to be irrigated, one
after the other, the SEQUENTIAL PROGRAMMING can
be used. This consists on completely filling in the pro-
gram for the first sector as shown in the previous sec-
tion (7.1.), and omitting the days and operating times
of the following programs.
To convert a program into sequential with an-
other, the code “99” must be entered in place of the
starting hour, and the number of the program which
precedes and initiates it in place of the minutes of the
starting time. In this case, it is not necessary to enter
the days of the week.
In the previous example, we can see that program
n.2 will irrigate sector 4 on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays at 8:15; program n.3 will irrigate sector 6 at the
end of program n.2 and program n.5 will irrigate sector 7
when program n.3 finishes.
When we want to stop a program sequence (which
will not work until new order, but without erasing), it is
sufficient to cancel the days of the week of the first pro-
