The LEIT-2 System Key Benefit
The LEIT-2 system is a wireless system that combines a controller and handset
- The LEIT-2 wireless system is environmentally friendly: Certified lead free, uses light as a source of energy (solar)
- The LEIT-2 wireless system provides independent programming flexibility for each irrigation box or for two valves on the system
- The LEIT-2 wireless system provides a wide range of options to manage the most complex landscaped areas such as watering schedules range from days of the week, odd/even days, or consecutively for up to 30 days that can be adjusted by a yearly budget
- The LEIT-2 wireless system power is provided by an internal photovoltaic module and microelectronic energy management system fueled by ambient light (solar)
The LEIT-2 Powered by Photovoltaic Module
No more AC power needed or batteries to replace! The photovoltaic module in the LEIT-2 harnesses light energy to generate electricity that is stored and used to power the controller day and night in any kind of weather. In a normal day with direct sunlight, an average of 100,000-130,000 lux can be measured. The LEIT-2 controller only requires an average of 3,000 lux for a normal operation. Light illumination is measured in terms of lux (lx) or foot-candles (fc). A lux is equal to the total intensity of light that falls on a 3.5 square feet (one square meter) surface that is one foot away from the point source of light.
The LEIT-2 is an Environmentally Conscious Green Power Controller
Designed and engineered with the environment in mind. Creating a product that can use less energy and can be disposed of easily without adverse effects on the environment. The electronic assembly and components are certified lead free. The controller does not use a battery to store power; as a result, various toxic pollutions from lead are prevented. In addition, the controller is mounted directly or close to the valve all but eliminating the needs for long copper wires. Another environmental benefi t of the LEIT-2 controller is that it utilizes solar technology to collect ambient light to power the controller. Ambient light is natural light, or available light. LEIT-2 has been engineered to use energy so effi ciently that only ambient light is needed to power the controller day and night in any kind of weather, anywhere in the world.
The LEIT-2 Wireless Handset Operates Up To 99 Controllers
The goal of the LEIT-2 system is to provide wireless irrigation control technology in a handheld remote that has the functions to support all the user needs. Once the LEIT-2 controller is installed there is no further reason to visit the controller because all programming, testing, and operations are conducted using the handset. Communication range between the handset and the controller can be established from up to 350' line of site. The handset communicates with the controllers using 2-way communication; after receiving the data the controller send confirmation back to the handset verifying successful transmission. The handset stores the addresses of the last 10 controllers it visited, enabling the user to easily reconnect with controllers on the grid.
The modular design of the LEIT-2 system means that no area is too small or purpose too large to benefit from the system's outstanding features. The LEIT-2 can function either as an individual wireless controller or as a component of a larger installation. There are many features in a LEIT-2 handset. There are 2 programs available with 4 start times per program for each valve. Programming durations can be set from 1 minute to 5:59 hours in 1-minute increments. The Global Stop command turns off all the valves within radio range. Programs can be uploaded or changed for up to 99 controllers. Operates up to 2 stations and a sensor without AC power hookup, batteries, or conventional solar panels
- Dedicated sensor input allows for a sensor connection promoting better water efficiency
- Non-volatile memory retains program and controller integrity forever (excludes time)
- Large liquid crystal display with user-friendly icons for easy programming
- Multilingual software in English, Spanish, Italian, French, German and Portuguese
- Functions day and night in any weather and in most outdoor locations
- All power is provided by an internal, ultra high efficiency photovoltaic module and microelectronic energy management system fueled by ambient light
- Waterproof controller housing IP68 (controller only)
- The controller operates in conjunction with the RC2 two-way radio handset that has an operating range of up to 350 ft. (100 meters), line of sight
- Radio frequency is in the ISM band 902-928 MHz (868 international) CE and FCC certified
