Netafim NMC-PRO Irrigation Controller

The NMC Pro System Manager does more than open and close irrigation valves - it integrates all of your control features in one easy-to-use unit. From one central location, you can operate, monitor and maximize the performance of your irrigation system.

It’s an affordable system manager for growers with small or large operations. The flexibility and expandability of control outputs and inputs allows you to modify the system to accommodate growth. Advanced features like fertilizer and EC/pH control can be accessed if and when you want. It’s truly a system that grows with your needs.

Automating with the NMC Pro System Manager allows you to maximize the return on your irrigation investment and realize the full benefits of drip/micro irrigation:

• Improved plant response through timely irrigation and fertilization
• Maximize nutrient availability (especially in sub-surface drip irrigation) by maintaining appropriate irrigation water pH
• Achieve high system uniformity through continuous treatment preventing emitter plugging

Reduce and optimize input of water, energy, labor, chemicals and fertilizers

In addition to opening and closing valves, the NMC Pro System Manager also includes these software programs:

• Irrigation Programs: Repeat and modify your irrigation schedules as needed - with up to 60 valve run time programs using time or volume based scheduling.
• Irrigation Trigger Programs: Up to 15 external condition programs with programmable parameters for triggering irrigation events.
• Pump Control Programs: Control multiple pumps, delay start or shut down times between pumps and valves.
• Filter Flushing Programs: Schedules backflush programs eliminating the need for additional external backflush controllers.
• Fertilizer and Nutrient Injection Programs: A range of dosing options are available - by time, quantity or proportional along with detailed alarm messages.
• Cooling Programs: Programmable parameters including set points for activating cooling systems.
• Alarm Programs: A range of alarms protect the system by isolating the problem and providing event details.
