 New IL200-MC Moisture Clik™
is an irrrigation system controller that regulates the amount of water applied with accurate soil moisture measurement.
The IL200-MC™ has a calibrated soil type set point dial. This single-turn dial is
the quickest and easiest way to make soil moisture set point adjustments. This
revolutionalry new design eliminates the necessity of expensive readout devices
required to adjust a moisture setting. The dial shows the moisture target based
on the water holding capacity for all soil types, so setting the moisture target is
extremely easy. The installer can make precise moisture settings with a standard
digital voltmeter.
An internal solid-state relay controls the valve the common lines, and gives faster response and reduced noise problems inherent with mechanical relays. Thus the Moisture Click switches valves ON or OFF smoothly. Irrigation for landscapes, trees, crops or vegetables is scheduled only when water is needed so water bills may be reduced 30 to 50%. Irrigation with advanced timing controllers handle multiple schedules, but even advanced controllers need an automatic shut off when water is being wasted. Typical irrigation controllers can not sense saturated soil conditions caused by rain or over-watering. Over watering plants causes root rot, lack of oxygen, and disease. Water runoff and leaching nutrients not only wastes money but often wastes drinking water, fertilizer and damages the environment. The average homeowner, large or small business will save time and trouble in adjusting irrigation schedules since the IL200-MC™ kit handles watering automatically. The IL200-MC™ helps all existing controllers since they do not monitor actual moisture conditions, weather, and are not automatically adjusted by plant water need. The sensor is buried in the soil root zone where water is needed. The Dynamax Moisture Click regulates water applied by continuously monitoring the soil condition at the sensor, and interrupts the controller schedule when enough water reaches the plant roots. As soon as the soil dries out below the recommended set point, an internal switch closes that signals the controller to continue irrigation as needed.
