Why should Councils and Schools use soil moisture monitoring?
With the increasing demand on water resources and the pressure to maintain quality playing surfaces on ovals, isn’t it time to get serious with water management. MAIT Industries can provide a cost effective solution to your monitoring and control requirements.
iNTELLiTROL® Turf allows users to integrate soil moisture data with irrigation automation based upon real time soil moisture conditions.
No need to replace your existing irrigation controllers. iNTELLiTROL® Turf connects directly to your existing controllers, providing managers with accurate soil moisture data which will automate irrigation programs based upon soil moisture levels. Remote data collection is available, using GSM modems, to allow managers to view current and historical soil moisture conditions and readjust moisture set points when required, from the office.
Accurate soil moisture sensors and rain switches, connected to iNTELLiTROL® Turf provide turf managers with a smart system at an affordable price. Other sensors such as flow meters, rain gauges and air temperarure can be monitored and used for control and alarming.
iNTELLiTROL turf can now automate irrigation on rain data, temperature and from the EnviroPro probe.
