27. rupted an alarm code is triggered The supervisory current is generated by the internal NETB12WR batteries and works seamlessly with normal pivot operation For the span cable alarm to properly arm itself at least 50 000 ohms of resistance must exist between the ground and neutral conductors when separated at the control transformer or outgoing side of the collector ring Safety Stop Alerts The NETB12WR transmits safety stop notifications when it detects a closed to open transition in a pivot s 120VAC safety circuit The NETB12WR must see the circuit open for at least 40 seconds before transmitting a wireless notification that the circuit transitioned from closed to open The time delay is to prevent false alarms due to loose wires pivot jogging and auto reverse functionality On non standard pivots paralleling off of any 120VAC control circuit that is hot when the pivot is running in both forward and reverse will suffice in monitoring for safety stops Remote Shutdown If the NETB12WR is wired correctly it may be used to remotely stop a center pivot Each NETB12WR is equipped with a normally closed control relay When a remote shutdown call is initiated the coil on this control relay is wirelessly picked up thereby interrupting the normally closed safety circuit When the NETB12WR senses the 120VAC supplied by the pivot panel has dropped out the coil of the relay de energizes and the contact closes again thereby allowing the pivot to res
28. tart For remote shutdown functionality to properly work the NETB12WR must remain ON until the pivot completely drops out The NETB12WR must still receive 120VAC from the main pivot panel until the delay timer in the pivot drops out The remote shutdown functionality utilizes the red wire in the NETB12WR connection cord If wiring for remote shutdown is not desired tape off the red wire and do not put the safety circuit in series with the NETB12WR Instead just parallel the black wire in the NETB12WR connection cord to the appropriate 120VAC safety circuit OR connect the black and blue wires to the respective forward and reverse terminals of the pivot To avoid shorts be sure to properly tape or cap off the red wire on the NETB12WR if the unit is not being wired for remote shutdown purposes Page 7 of 21 NET12WR User Manual and Installation Guide Rev B Copyright 2012 Net Irrigate LLC netirrigate GPS Monitoring Pivot Heading The NETB12WR sends longitude and latitude coordinates to the Netlrrigate servers every 15 minutes If the longitude and latitude coordinates of the pivot pad are properly entered as part of the site details the software on the server will use basic trigonometry to determine the angle or heading of the pivot Determining the longitude and latitude coordinates of the pivot pad can be accomplishes with several smart phone apps most consumer GPS devices or even the WireRat iPhone app Alternatively you
