Lodestar system that controls and monitors a pump deters wire theft by integrating a state of the art Passive Infrared PIR sensor and 120 decibel siren light with the M2M remote monitoring and alert network The PIR mounts on the pump control panel and points in the direction of vulnerability usually towards the pump If thieves enters this armed security zone a 15 foot radius and 85 degree swath they breach the system activating the siren and light and generating a text message voice call or email to the grower Farm Monitoring Systems By adding preconfigured sensors and wiring the Infinity system can provide additional significant benefits You can add the following options individually or as a group as needed e Water pressure measurement e Water flow rate measurement e Electric current measurement e Soil moisture at multiple depths and locations using wireless communication e Temperature and humidity e Any other sensor with a 4 20mA SDI 12 or other compatible output Monitoring and reporting this valuable data gives the grower or agronomist the information needed to accurately manage the farm The information can be especially useful when an irrigator is offered an opportunity to participate in DSM events By reviewing the current soil moisture at key locations around the farm the grower can quickly determine if the system can safely turn pumps off for a few hours Water pressure flow rates and electrical current are usef
