Introduction
Important Safety Precautions
Congratulations, you have just purchased the
PivotScout™, one of the most advanced irrigation
management tools available.
PivotScout™
PivotScout™ is an add-on device for the SmartCrop®
Base Station, which provides information gathered
directly from the pivot and sends this information
directly to the grower’s home computer. This system
measures the GPS coordinates from the pivot to show
the Grower the movement of the pivot, as well as, the
pressure. In knowing the pressure of the pivot, the
Grower would then know if the pivot system was
active or not. With the SmartCropÂŽ Base Station
reading ambient and canopy temperatures and
tracking rain events, the Grower would know whether
to turn the pivot off or not.
PivotScout™ communicates with the SmartCrop®
Base Station to reliably monitor the pivot’s status
including location and activity.
Guidebook Conventions
To highlight the most important points – we have used
a set of simple icons, which draw attention to key
information and settings.
Key:
The Check Icon indicates a setting that
we recommend you use or enable.
The Info Icon highlights important facts
