The XR3000 can be configured remotely to run a sequence of outputs at a scheduled time. These outputs can control relays, pumps, valves or any dry contact. The XR3000 enables output sequencing by allowing an output to “follow” or be “triggered” by another output. Start delays and on times can also be defined. If an […]

The use of the phrase “Internet Of Things” is so broad and pervasive that it has seemingly taken on a life of it’s own, where IoT is the market and companies are jockeying for position to be the ones to sell their IoT products to other IoT players. That being said, what about applying this […]

At our R&D center in the historic Whitinsville mill, we put together a short video demonstrating how to automatically start an irrigation pump using the IAS XR3000 and an RF90 wireless soil moisture sensor. This same method using IAS XR3000s and RF90s with soil moisture sensors was deployed at the Community Harvest Project this season […]

Example: Scheduled Irrigation with Nutrient Injection for Fertigation and Acid Injection for pH control. Consider a simple XR3000-based Irrigation System with 3 Outputs. Using constant velocity injection pumps for nutrient and acid, timed application can be used during the irrigation cycle to apply a precise amount of nutrient and/or acid with appropriate flush periods. Below […]
