Sensors and Interface Cards

The following items can be used in conjunction with the above Heron controllers

Connecting Sensors to Your MCI controller

The rain sensor connects directly to the existing remote start input on your MCI controller.
The Light Sensor, Humidity Senso

Heron Rain Sensor

Heron Rain Sensor Ref: 1801
Essential accessory for outdoor irrigation.
The rain sensor allows irrigation times to be automatically reduced depending on the rainfall over the last few days.
The total rainfall over a one, two, three or four day period can be measured.
Two thresholds can be specified to trigger a reduction in irrigation schedules.
You can select which irrigation programs are effected by the rain sensor.

Price: £69.99 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

Quantity:

Heron Light Sensor

Heron Light Sensor Ref: 1802
Ideal for misting applications
The Light Sensor allows you to control your irrigation depending on the integrated light energy or instantaneous
light power
Up to 4 light energy thresholds can be set on the controller to operate different beds at different frequencies.
The controller displays light power and accumulated light energy.

Price: £170.00 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

Quantity:

Add Single analogue interface £70.00 inc vat

Add Multi-interface card £95.00 inc vat

Heron Temperature Sensor

Heron Temperature Sensor Ref: 1803
The Heron Temperature sensor allows the irrigation to be
controlled based on temperature. The sensor will read
from 0 to 50 degrees C.
sensors allow the irrigation to be either initiated or
suspended depending upon whether the sensor level is
above or below the trip point.

Price: £95.00 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

Quantity:

Add Single analogue interface £70.00 inc vat

Add Multi-interface card £95.00 inc vat

Heron Humidity Sensor

Heron Humidity Sensor Ref: 2744
The Heron Humidity sensor allows the irrigation to be controlled on Relative Humidity. The sensor will read from to 5% to 100% Relative Humidity.

Price: £200.00 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

Quantity:

Add Single analogue interface £70.00 inc vat

Add Multi-interface card £95.00 inc vat

Heron Single Analogue Interface Card

Heron Single Analogue Interface Card Ref: 2746
Where just one analogue sensor is to be connected the Single Analogue interface
can be used. This card plugs into the 10 pin socket on your MCI Irrigation Controller.

Price: £69.99 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

Quantity:

Heron Multi-Function Interface Card

Heron Multi-Function Interface Card Ref: 2748
The Heron Multi-Function interface card enables you to simply and neatly connect multiple sensors,
switches, etc. to your MCI Irrigation controller. The card plugs into the 10 pin socket on your MCI controller.

Two Analogue Inputs
The analogue inputs allow Heron sensors or other analogue sensors to be connected to your MCI controller. The inputs accept a 0-5 V analogue level. Irrigation can either be initiated or suspended depending upon whether the analogue level is above or below the trip point.

One Flow Sensor Input
The flow sensor input allows either pulse or paddle wheel type flow meters to be connected to your MCI controller. Flow meters connect directly with no additional electronics. With a flow meter connected you can validate the flow on each irrigation valve. If the flow goes out of range the controller will alarm. You can also log the flow and volume of water used to a PC running Heron Ground Control software.

One Dosing Controller Connection
The dosing controller connection allows a Heron MPD dosing controller to be connected to your MCI controller. With a dosing controller connected different dosing recipes can be activated with differing irrigation programs.
Six Switched Inputs The switched inputs provide four Program Starts, one Remote Stop and one Remote manual Advance. The inputs accept a simple open/close switched contact.

One Alarm Output
The alarm output will activate when the controller has a fault or an alarm condition. The alarm output will drive a Heron Sensitive Relay (Order code REL1K).

Three Additional Outputs
The three additional outputs are activated by programs 2, 3 and 4 respectively. For example, these outputs can be used to control mechanical fertilizer injectors. The outputs will drive a Heron Sensitive Relay (order code REL1K).

Price: £95.00 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

Quantity:

Heron Remote Start Expansion Card

Heron Remote Start Expansion Card Ref: 2747
Where extra switched inputs are required the remote start expansion card can be used.
The card has six inputs that accept a open/close switch contact. The six inputs give four Program starts, one Remote Stop and one Manual Advance.
This card plugs into the 10 pin socket on your MCI Irrigation Controller.

Price: £50.00 (Including VAT at 17.5%)
