Micromet Pro

Centralized Distributed Control

Micromet Pro allows centralized scheduling of irrigation at your sites without the expense of complicated SCADA system or replacing irrigation controllers.

Micromet Pro operates by attaching a two way wireless (cellular phone network) Micromet device to your existing controller, typically using either common wire interruption or a controller sensor port if available.

The existing field controller to defines the run times as it does now, but the Micromet device overrides the irrigation schedule, that is the days on which it is allowed to run.

Unlike the Micromet Basic service, this device can send acknowledgement back to the server, so you can always know if the device has power and is working correctly.

Controller Monitoring

The two way device also monitors the activity of your existing in field controller to ensure it is working in conjunction with the system to provide the proper irrigation events to your site.

Master valve or pump start outputs of the controller are logged and sent back daily to the Micromet central server where it is integrated with other information to determine if irrigations are occuring correctly in the field.

Soil Moisture Tracking

During each day, depending on the conditions moisture is extracted from the soil by the plants and evaporation combined (evapotranspiration) and rainfall and irrigation add water back to the soil.

Micromet uses a moisture tracking model based on scientifically proven irrigation scheduling techniques to determine how wet or dry your site is.

The model uses site audit data provided by you or one of our accredited auditors, and hourly weather telemetry provided by our network of weather stations and the bureau of meteorology.

Rain Halting

Micromet Pro sites can be set to cease irrigating if more than a certain threshold of rain falls during the irrigation window. Rain data is gathered from both Micromet weather stations and Bureau of Meteorology weather stations and rain radar to determine rainfall at your site.

Restrictions

Unlike many other controllers which do not know the date, Micromet Basic can be set up to handle odd and even calendar day restrictions.
