STEP 2:

BUILD THE IRRIGATION

METHODS DATABASE

Using these steps, you will define the

elements SitePro needs to build the

irrigation methods database: nozzles,

site codes, and methods and sources of

ET (evapotranspiration).

These symbols highlight the steps you

need to complete for your selected

irrigation method:

= Basic (Direct adjustment of run times.)

= Intermediate (Adjustment of run times based on ET.)

= Advanced (Calculation of run times based on ET.)

➊ Set up the Demand ET information (Setup > Environmental >Demand ET)

Station run times can be based on time or on ET. This section does not need to

be defined if you choose to run the stations on time-based data, as in the Basic

Irrigation Method.

Define the methods and sources of ET you want to use to adjust and calculate station

run times.

• Demand ET Summary

• TempET (Network 8000 field hardware only)

• Historical ET

• Water Budget

• Select ET Sources

➋ Define site codes (Setup > Environmental > Site Codes)

Site codes are optional information. Complete this section of the database only if

you want to adjust ET, a group of station run times or create programs based on

site code factors.

Define plant and soil types, compaction and slope. This allows you to fine-tune the

watering time of individual sprinklers to meet specific site needs.

➌ Select the Toro nozzles (Setup > Environmental > Nozzles)

Select the nozzles used in your irrigation system and fine-tune pressure, radius and flow

rates. A complete listing of Toro nozzles is already created in SitePro for this purpose.

The nozzle information is used in the Control System menu and is necessary for

Electro-Flow

™

to operate. Electro-Flow is SitePro’s flow and electrical management

feature.
