TECHNICAL SERVICES & CENTRAL COMPUTER CONTROL
It is important to realize the complexities involved with central systems and the need to accurately input data to utilize all the features available to conserve water and ensure a more effective irrigation system is achieved.
This is one of our strengths and where we can really assist Clients to fine tune the system to achieve the best results for power and water savings.
Irrigation images can be included in the map section of irrigation central software.
For accurate reporting of actual flow it is necessary in some brands to calibrate flow meters to provide flow recording to the software via transmitters.
Sensors can be included and wired to communication cable to enable inclusion of rain gauges,wind anemometers, and other devices.
Central Computer Control
There are many options available for communication today, remote control is high on the wish list but also security is so important to users that Rainlink has moved forward to design communication platforms that are suitable for older central systems or modern control systems. This allows organisations to embrace the features and advantages that a secure control network can provide by adding an extra layer of protection. Our IT Specialist has been involved in providing this design for our clients. Whatever central software program is selected it is also very important that it is user friendly, easy to schedule irrigation, obtain relevant reports and flow information.
We must emphasize the importance of past performance, design and product experience, product supply, maintenance, training and support on all aspects of the central control system and all aspects of the irrigation systems by not only the manufacturer but also the contractor.
It is not much use to Councils or Clubs if the manufacturer’s technical staff is not available or interstate when the Irrigation Operator is in desperate need of assistance, - so this is why our company offers our experience in service, repairs, programming, training, customer support and the additional backup of our associates to aid in an emergency.
