Fertijet enhanced fertigation machine

User manual

1. 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

Before installing and connecting the Fertijet in place, read the Pre- Installation manual
carefully and follow all the instructions applicable to Fertijet.
To install the Fertijet and associated equipment, follow NFPA 70 directives strictly.
Have high voltage (> 60V) electrical connections made only by a local, qualified electrician.
Do not operate the Fertijet before ensuring full connection to a valid grounding point (1 or
lower).
Before removing the electrical box cover, shut the main power switch Off.
Before attempting any maintenance work on the booster pump, shut the main power switch
Off.

Fertimix Users Manual Fertijet Manual

Since 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.
Before attempting any maintenance work on the injectors, close all manual valves at the
fertilizer tank outlet
Follow all local regulation as applicable to storage and handling of chemicals.
Before attempting to remove or install the water piping system, depressurize all main pipes.

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 Fertijets 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.

(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:

endanger your booster pump and void our warrantee Differential Indicator Cut-Off Scale
immediately!
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 Fertijets
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 cells top. 2 1.96 28.44

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.

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 * ) * 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

Fertimix Users 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
Calculation as above may be problematic since different units are used in different countries.
The last 3 seconds added to the calculation represent probes response time.
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.

5.2 Winterizing
Winter time in frost- ridden areas may prove quite harmful to all irrigation components if not
duly prepared. 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 Fertijets 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 pumps 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.

(9) Clean the Fertijet of all external residues of corrosive materials. Cover the Fertijet with a
sheet. Do not shut controllers power supply down! leaving the Elgal controller
powered down for an extended period of time may drain the memory backup lithium
battery.
