Irrigation and pumps

Remote control and alerts for irrigation systems, boreholes and pumps, often far from any building. A rugged 4G router or gateway with inputs and outputs can start and stop pumps, report levels and send an alert when something fails.

Typical irrigation and pump set-ups

Borehole or pump house alarm and control

Use the gateway's digital inputs for pump running, fault and power-fail signals, and an output to start or stop the pump remotely. Alerts go by SMS or email.

Typical kit: Teltonika TRB246 or RUT956, with a multi-network data SIM.

Irrigation controller with Ethernet or Modbus

Connect the controller so the grower can change schedules and see flow and pressure from a phone or the controller's own platform.

Typical kit: Teltonika RUT200 for Ethernet, or a TRB246 for RS485 and Modbus.

Things to check

  • Power: remote pump sites may only have a DC supply. Industrial routers accept a wide DC input.
  • Signal in open country: a mast-mounted or directional 4G antenna makes a big difference.
  • Coverage: a multi-network SIM can move to another network if one drops.
