Instructor:  Chris Pine Attendees will develop a better understanding of the different types of connected irrigation controllers available today and what that means to an irrigation technician. They increase their familiarity and comfort level with terminology, especially for Wi-Fi connections and will improve their strategies to troubleshoot connected controllers. We will cover:

• Different types of connected controllers available today with their advantages and disadvantages from a technician’s and end user’s point of view.
• Specific troubleshooting strategies to use on each tec.hnology so that issues can be quickly isolated.
• The language of connected devices and technology, so that the technician is familiar and can speak the lingo.

Who should attend?  Irrigation installation and repair technicians with some field experience installing controllers.

A common barrier to efficiently identifying a problem with electrical components used in an irrigation system is that a technician guesses or uses trial and error methods. The understanding and use of a multimeter are at the heart of productively determining an electrical problem with a controller or valve circuit. It saves countless hours and correctly identifies the problem. The 3-hour online training course interactively guides the attendees though the proper use of multimeters in order to correctly and efficiently identify the problem in a controller, valve wiring, solenoids, and splices. Attendees will pause the training to use a meter in our eLab practice sessions during the online instruction to practice real-world applications of the skills and knowledge on the valves and a controller in front of them. This repetition prepares them to immediately use the new skills and knowledge in their job.

Instructor: Don Franklin Protecting irrigation electronics from the ravages of electrical surges and lightning is essential for the modern, sophisticated controllers, sensors, and other irrigation equipment. Understanding the science of creating an adequate grounding circuit is at the heart of creating the proper level of protection. This course covers National Electrical Code grounding for public safety and equipment grounding for irrigation controllers and booster pumps.  In it, we will discuss some misconceptions regarding lightening, electrical behavior, proper ground rod and ground plate installation, and minimizing equipment damage.

Instructor: Scott Knowles Comprehensive cashflow management is difficult for small fast-moving companies. Unless absolutely necessary it’s not worth the cost and time for most Green Industry businesses. However, all business owners/operators must have an eye on their cash position so the company can function smoothly. Using the Current Ratio is easily utilized to gauge your cash position, is fairly easy to calculate, will tell you where your cash situation is now, and give you benchmarks to strive for in the future. This course will help a business owner define the Current Ratio and what the numbers tell you. The course will also explore tactics to improve your ratio and avoid cash-traps.

Instructor:  Michael Igo The risks involved with managing irrigation water requires must be assessed and planned for just like mitigating any other operational risks. This session will present and compare an insurance model of managing risk with our methods of allocating and managing irrigation water for the landscape. This is a high-level presentation that will develop a better understanding for irrigation professionals on managing water resources.
