General Description Fertijet is a compact, simple and modular fertigation control system for use in both greenhouses and open field irrigation applications. Fertijet is designed for accurate injection of nutrients into the irrigation water pipe through a set of Venturi type fertilizer injectors under EC & pH control and optional irrigation control by the advanced Elgal computerized controller. Fertijet can be fitted quickly and easily on almost any irrigation head. 1.1 System Components A standard Fertijet unit consists of the following components: • A set of 3 Venturi type fertilizer injectors with a flow rate of up to 90 GPH each. Each injector contains an electric fertilizer control valve, an adjustable flow regulator, and a flexible suction pipe. • A water pump (1.5, 2.5 or 3 H.P.) with a stainless steel head, to obtain a flow of water through the fertilizer injectors and insert the solution into the water pipeline. • An EC & pH monitor unit, consisting of a transmitter with a 4-20 mA output, galvanic insulation, a large LCD display and a four-button keyboard for soft calibration. • A pair of EC & pH electrodes, installed in a sampling cell. • An Elgal irrigation/ fertigation controller. • An electrical control panel, also including connection terminal blocks. • An inlet and an outlet for irrigation water. 1.2 Safety Instructions ¾Before installing and connecting the Fertijet in place, read the “Pre- Installation” manual carefully and follow all the instructions applicable to Fertijet. ¾To install the Fertijet and associated equipment, follow NFPA 70 directives strictly. ¾Have high voltage (> 60V) electrical connections made only by a local, qualified electrician. ¾Do not operate the Fertijet before ensuring full connection to a valid grounding point (1Ω or lower). ¾Before removing the electrical box cover, shut the main power switch Off. ¾Before attempting any maintenance work on the booster pump, shut the main power switch Off. Page 1 1 Fertimix User´s Manual Fertijet Manual ¾Since Fertijet is designed to inject dissolved chemicals, some of which are dangerous in contact or inhalation, use protecting glasses, rubber gloves and gas mask as required. ¾Before attempting any maintenance work on the injectors, close all manual valves at the fertilizer tank outlet ¾Follow all local regulation as applicable to storage and handling of chemicals. ¾Before attempting to remove or install the water piping system, depressurize all main pipes. 2. Installation and Connection 2.1 Plumbing Applications Four types of applications are available: a. Typical: Mainline not pressurized while the Fertijet is off. Mainline pressure ≤ 70 PSI. b. Non- driven: Mainline optionally pressurized while the Fertijet is off. Mainline pressure ≤ 70 PSI. c. High pressure: Mainline not pressurized while the Fertijet is off. Mainline pressure ≥ 70 PSI. d. HP Non- driven: Mainline optionally pressurized while the Fertijet is off. Mainline pressure ≥ 70 PSI. control Read Figure 1: Typical Installation control Read Figure 2: Non-Driven Page 2 2 Fertimix User´s ManualFertijet Manual Read control Figure 3: High Pressure control Read Figure 4: HP Non-Driven Procedure (1) Unpack the Fertijet and rest it on a solid base. Mount the I/O box on a solid wall or post. (2) Connect the 32mm inlet and outlet pipes to the mainline as shown above. (3) Connect the blue pipe (water sampling for EC and pH sensor measurements) to the main irrigation line at a point at least 1.5m (4 feet) downstream from Fertijet’s outlet connection. Note that the exact recommended distance depends on the water flow speed in the main pipe. For more accurate calculation, use your Internet browser to refer to the URL: ftp://ftp.eldarshany.com/pub/literature/fert_calc.xls (4) Open the EC-pH sampling cup and remove the pH sensor cover. Fill the sampling cup with water and mount it back in place. Important: The pH sensor must be immersed in water at all times. Water Inlet Water & Fertilizer Outlet Sampling Water Suction Figure 5: Fertijet Plumbing Page 3 3 Fertilizer Suction 1 2 3 Fertimix User´s ManualFertijet Manual (5) Connect the pipes from the fertilizer tanks to the fertilizer injector inlets: Fertijet default settings define Injectors #1 and #2 as nutrients injectors (EC injectors allowing correction of quantities according to conductivity) and Injector #3 as an acid injector (pH injector attempting to maintain pH stability). For a different configuration (e.g. two acid injectors and one fertilizer),change the settings in menu screen no. 5216. 2.2 Wiring Power Supply Connections (1) Booster pump power connection: Have a local, qualified electrician connect the booster pump load according to the marking sticker at the end of the HD (green) cable. (2) Controller and communication connection: Plug the controller and communication (white) cable to the local mains using a connection box (not a wall socket!). Verify that this power point is protected by a 6A circuit breaker. gnd com out in 5 in 6 in 7 in 8 IPT inputs IPT inputs A B CD fert. count. E fert. count. D fert. count. C fert. count.

Page 5 5 Fertimix User´s ManualFertijet Manual 2.3 Low Pressure Switch Differential Set The Fertijet features a low pressure (LP) switch to prevent pump operation under a low water pressure. The LP switch is initially adjusted to 35 PSI. To change, follow the instructions below.Differential Scale WARNING! Reducing the value below 25 PSI will endanger your booster pump and void our warrantee Differential Indicator immediately! Cut-Off Pressure Set Cut-Off Indicator Cut-Off Scale Figure 7: LP Switch To change LP switch settings, remove the black cover to expose two screws at the top of the unit. Use only that screw which is closest to the back line. To reduce the pressure, turn the screw clockwise (you will see a metal line move up on the scale). To increase the pressure, turn the screw counterclockwise. 2.4 EC-pH Sampling Cell Pressure The pH probe provided is a low pressure probe. Never expose it to a pressure higher than 50 PSI. To adjust cell pressure, first verify that the main line is pressurized and the Fertijet’s booster pump is running. To adjust, follow this procedure: Kg/cm2 Bar PSI (1) Close the manual valve at the blue sampling pipe inlet. 1 0.98 14.22 (2) Remove one of the probes from the cell’s top. 2 1.96 28.44 (3) Open the manual valve gradually until the water slightly overflows 3 2.94 42.67 from the empty hole. 4 3.92 56.89 (4) Re-fit the probe in place and fasten its gland. 5 4.90 71.11 (5) Recommendation: Remove manual valve’s handle to prevent 6 5.88 85.34 inadvertent readjustment. 3. Irrigation System Setup Each system is uniquely characterized by own water meter pulse, valve flow rates, fertilizer types and settings. All of these parameters are necessary for system operation and must be programmed on the site before the first operation. To set system parameters, follow instructions as applicable to the program used (see table below): Fetijet with 1CL_IR Software (Elgal 12/24) Follow the instructions on “Irrigation software” manual page I2-1 and top of page I2-2. Fertijet may be used either as a “standard” system when applied to the entire irrigation system or as “FertOnly” system when applied to the fertigation system alone. Fertijet with Open Field Software (Elgal 2000/Midi) Follow the instructions on “Elgal Agro” manual pages D20 (code 45) and D23 (code 72). On completion, both the controller and the irrigation system are ready for operation. Page 6 6 Fertimix User´s Manual Fertijet Manual 4. Operation 4.1 Using the Irrigation Program To operate the system, follow instructions as applicable to the program used (see table below): Fetijet with 1CL_IR Software (Elgal 12/24) Fertijet with Open Field Software (Elgal 2000/Galileo) Follow “Elgal-Agro” manual instructions on the daily use of the irrigation program. Follow “Irrigation Software” manual instructions on the daily use of the irrigation program. 4.2 Fertilizer Injectors Adjustment Every fertilizer injector must be flow- adjusted to some extent. To adjust, use one of three methods as listed below: a. Fixed cone-jets of 20, 40, 60 and 80 liter/hour (5, 10, 15 and 20 GPM). b. Flow- control valve. c. Flow indicator with control valve. Follow the instructions in the table below as applicable to the method selected for each injector: Step Cone-jet Adjustable valve Flow indicator 1 Establish optimal pump flow to inject during 40-70% of the irrigation time, taking into consideration the specific mainline flow, fertilizer concentration and final quantity of nutrient required. Consult ftp://ftp.eldarshany.com/pub/literature/Fert_Calc.xls (“Fert Calc” sheet) as required. 2 3 Fit jet in housing Remove bottom cover of fertilizer solenoid valve by unscrewing the 2 flat bolts. Immerse the far end of the flexible pipe in a Immerse the far end of the measurable bucket of water. Start the flexible pipe in a bucket of irrigation program. water. Start the irrigation program. Page 7 7 Fertimix User´s ManualFertijet Manual 4 5 6 7 Press the solenoid’s plunger up with your finger for exactly 30 seconds. Press the solenoid’s plunger up with your finger and set the required flow on the scale. Fit the plunger protector back in place and secure with bolts. Measure the amount of water pumped out of the bucket. Calculate the flow by multiplying the quantity of the missing water by 120. Adjust the valve slightly. Repeat steps 4-5 until the required flow is obtained. Fit the plunger protector back in place and secure with bolts. Update the “Fertilizer pump flow” parameter in the controller: code <5216 #3> in CL_IR 2.04 or code <452 #3> 4.3 Fertigation Automation Adjustment This chapter is intended to clarify some special features of Fertijet, which are not explained in the Elgal manual. Please read the complete irrigation chapter in the Elgal manual to better understand the fertigation method of the Elgal controller. Description Fertijet does not pre-set the point where the EC-pH sample is taken. This decision is left to the technician who installs the machine. This point and the length of the pipe to the sampling cell both have a considerable effect on the fertilizer automation function. When the program changes the water-to-fertilizer ratio, a timer is set to define the minimum time to the next change (if required). This function serves to identify the impact of the last change as soon as possible, then make the next change. Performing the second change before reading the results of the first one would cause overshooting, and the EC and pH may never become balanced. On the other hand, a slow reaction is not desirable either. Calculating the shortest response time is not an easy task. If you have Internet access, you can find an on-line calculator for that purpose at: ftp://ftp.eldarshany.com/pub/literature/Fert_Calc.xls (“Fertijet balancer” sheet). All you have to do is type your application details in the appropriate cells, and the calculator will come on with the results. If you do not have access to the Internet, use this formula: Rt = ht + dt + Dt + 3 where: SQ – the flow of the smallest shift in the irrigation system D – the internal diameter of the main pipe Dl – the distance between the fertilizer insertion point and the sampling outlet in the main pipe (cm) Dt – the delay time in the main pipe; Dt = (((D / 2)2 * π) * Dl) / SQ dl – the length of the 32mm pipe from the Fertijet outlet to the main pipe (m) dt – the time in the 32mm pipe (sec); dt = dl / 13.9 hl – the length of blue sampling hose (m); ht = hl / 0.4 Page 8 8 Fertimix User´s ManualFertijet Manual ht – the time in blue sampling hose (sec) Rt – the response time required Dl Fertijet dl EC -pH hl Figure 8: Rt Calculation Notes ¾Calculation as above may be problematic since different units are used in different countries. ¾The last 3 seconds added to the calculation represent probe’s response time. ¾“dl” is subject to many changes as may be caused by line pressure, pump model (MXH 405 or 805), number and type of Venturi pumps, and even fertilizer valves position (on or off). However, as you will find when you do the calculation, as long as you do not install the Fertijet at a distance greater than one or two meters from the insertion point, the effect on the calculation would be negligible. Procedure (1) Calculate shortest response time (Rt) as above. (2) Save calculation result under the respective parameter in the controller. To save, press <5241> and <R> on the controller panel or (for PC users) click <settings>, <Irrigation>, <Fertigation setup>. The text displayed on the panel will be “Change fert. Delay – sec.”, with a default value 8. Enter calculation result, then press <Enter>. (3) Move to the next parameter. The text displayed will be “Delay at start – sec.”, with a recommended value two and a half times the change delay. Press <Exit>. (4) You will now be prompted to save the last changes. Press <Enter> to confirm the default setting, or, if you use a PC, click the key icon and change the desired parameters. A second click on the key icon will send your changes to the controller after confirmation. Page 9 9 Fertimix User´s ManualFertijet Manual 5.

The following steps will guide you in safe winterizing. Follow them strictly. When to Winterize The best time to winterize is the morning after the last day of the irrigation season. Procedure (1) Wash out all corrosive material residues. Fill the fertilizer tanks with fresh water (if you have some fertilizer left for next season, fill a bucket with water and place it instead of the tank), then run the system with a program that will use all the injectors. Ensure that each injector receives at least 20 liters (4 gallons) of water. (2) Close all manual valves and turn all pumps switches Off. Define the Elgal controller “Not active”. (3) Disconnect Fertijet’s inlet and outlet pipes from the main pipe and tip over to drain of all contents. (4) Dismantle all records and bleed all water residues from the Venturi injectors, electrical valves, check valves and other elements as required. (5) In applications employing main fertilizer NC valves, make sure to dry all the 8mm command hoses, the solenoid valve, and both the upper and lower chambers of each valve. (6) Open the booster pump’s draining cap (Figure 9) and leave it opened for 1 hour. (7) Verify bleeding of all pipes. (8) Remove one of the probes from the EC-pH sampling cell and drip in 50cc (2 OZ) of concentrated antifreeze material. Re- fit the probe in place and secure with bolt. Page 10 10 Fertimix User´s ManualFertijet Manual (9) Clean the Fertijet of all external residues of corrosive materials. Cover the Fertijet with a sheet. Do not shut controller’s power supply down! – leaving the Elgal controller powered down for an extended period of time may drain the memory backup lithium battery.
