Transport the Sector Control
For transport, you should fix the gun (e.g. with a rope) or fold up the stop on the gun.Otherwise, the gun may hit the stops and bend them during transport Alternatively, you can simply decouple the stops of the sector control.
Replace motorbox base plate assembly
In these guide, we will take you through the necessary steps to replace the base plate including the motors. This is only necessary if your motors are faulty and you have been sent a replacement kit. The removal of the box is identical: Removing the motor b...
Install the Motor Box Correctly
In this guide, we will explain the steps you need to take to repair your motorbox. Mounting Details The position of the connectors on the 2021 sector controls has been changed for the sake of ongoing optimisation. However, motor boxes of the 2021 gene...
The Pump in Raindancer
This section guides you through the most important settings and configurations of the Beacon. Settings The settings for the Beacon are quite extensive and complex. In most cases, the relevant settings for the initial setup of the Beacon revolve around the an...

Calibration of Analogue Inputs and Outputs
Ideally, there is a direct, linear connection between the value of an analogue input or output of the Beacon and the corresponding value range of the connected sensor or actuator defined in the pump settings.Using the example of a simple 0-16 bar pressure sens...
Troubleshooting the Beacon
Compatibility check: Beacons are immediately ready for use on the Ethernet module (in combination with a router with active DHCP). There is a known incompatibility with certain versions of the Ethernet module (specifically: Rev.4.2, labelled accordin...
Initial start-up of the M2M router
Optionally, the Raindancer Beacon comes with a preconfigured, ready-to-use M2M Router(M2M – »Machine to Machine Communication«), prepared to be mounted to DIN Rails. Overview Front Panel Rear Panel 1 Hollow Pin / Terminal Block Po...
Operation Mode »Mirror Image«
A combination of two or more Raindancer Beacons can optionally be used to reflect another device to be remotely monitored and controlled. Using this method, all signals coming from or going a Beacon will be available to a »Mirror« Beacon, via a »virtual cable ...
Choosing The Perfect Angle
How do you actually set the stops on the gun to ensure the most even water distribution possible? We therefore took the time in late summer to take some measurements. The water distribution of an irrigation run naturally depends on the setting of the sto...
The Effects of Wind
In connection with our sector control, one question that comes up frequently is: "What do I do in windy conditions?" To provide a good answer, we began by taking measurements. Side Wind Situation: The wind is blowing at sharp angles to the direction of tra...
Variable Rate Irrigation - Save Water
We are all experiencing it painfully: water is becoming limited.Increasingly, water has to be used economically when it comes to irrigation. With varying soils in the field or dips, it can be useful to change the irrigation rate. Raindancer makes it possible...
Water Distribution with Sector Control at the Start and Finish
If you work with the raindancer and sector control, you can irrigate right to the border at the start and finish. In this film you can see how it works in action ... https://youtu.be/A_c6rGuvpA4 To see what the water distribution looks like in reality, w...
Plan Future Operations
This section of the Raindancer portal is designed to enable you to plan your assignments in advance and thus bring more structure to your work dynamics. You will find the operation scheduling in the portal on the left-hand side in the ribbon. Runs to your f...
Units - Metric or Imperial
Changing the units in the Raindancer system is centralised and affects all outputs in the entire system. You can find the settings for this under Master Data ⇾ Units At the top you will find the switch between a predefined metric set of units or an imperial ...
Irrigatior Control - Remote control of irrigation
Access to the control system is a pivotal aspect of operating the Raindancer for your irrigation machinery, provided that your equipment includes at least an SMS-based control system. By adjusting the intake speed according to the volume of water dispensed an...
Import VRI Zones
VRI Zones The VRI zone importer can be used to import VRI zones from a shapefile into Raindancer.VRI zones are event areas that cause irrigators to change the irrigation amount by command when the irrigator enters the zone. There are three type...
