System Safety
The Reinke Electrogator II System is designed with many electrical and mechanical safety features.
However, each operator must read and understand this and all other accompanying owners manuals for the safe and efficient operation of your Reinke Electrogator II System.
If this System is operated incorrectly, it can pose a safety threat to the operator and others. The following is a list of safety operating tips which all service and operating personnel must read and understand.
!
The Safety Alert Symbol is displayed many places throughout this manual and on your System to indicate when there is a potential for
Personal injury.
!
Throughout this manual and on System
D e c a l s , t h e w o r d s “ D A N G E R ” ,
“WARNING”, and “CAUTION” are used with the Safety Alert Symbol to alert the operator of potential hazards. “DANGER” identifies the most serious hazards.
“DANGER” or “WARNING” safety signs identify specific hazards.
“CAUTION” signs identify specific safety instructions.
!
The movement of an Electrically Powered,
Gear-Driven, Irrigation System is relatively slow. Moving parts are exposed and may present a potential hazard. Therefore, keep all equipment, vehicles, people, etc., out of the System’s path.
!
D O N O T a t t e m p t t o p e r f o r m a n y maintenance procedures until the Reinke
Main Control Panel Disconnect Switch and all Pump and other Disconnect Switches are locked in the “OFF” position.
Electrical component trouble-shooting and replacement should be performed by a certified Reinke Service Technician to ensure built-in safety features remain intact.
This also ensures System remains compliant with the National Electric Code and Reinke
Manufacturing Specifications. Replace all
Protective Guards and Shields before restoring power to the System.
!
Do not allow anyone to ride or climb on the
System unless they are qualified and required to do so for maintenance purposes.
!
The Tower Steps have been provided for access to the Tower Control Boxes only.
They are not intended for access to the
Span. For instance, should the Sprinkler
Heads require service, use a ladder to reach them from the ground.
!
Exercise caution when handling fuel near
Systems equipped with Combustion
Engine-driven Generators and Pumps.
!
If you attempt to repair your System and are uncertain of your methods, contact an authorized Service Person.
!
Keep away from the System during thunderstorms or other severe weather conditions. The Center Pivot is grounded and the System is probably the highest object in the field, making it a good lightning receptor.
!
Be sure Protective Guards are installed on all Belts and Driveshafts of Ancillary
Equipment such as Combustion Engines,
Electric Motors, Pumps, etc.
!
If you suspect a short circuit or the System is not working correctly, do not touch the
System and keep others away from it. Call your Reinke Service Technician. Electrical c o m p o n e n t t ro u b l e - s h o o t i n g a n d replacement should be performed by a certified Reinke Service Technician to ensure built-in safety features remain intact. This also ensures System remains compliant with the National Electric Code and Reinke Manufacturing Specifications.
!
When towing a System from field to field, avoid ditches, rough terrain, overhead power lines, etc. The Ground Wire MUST be re-attached to the Ground Rod and checked for electrical integrity each time the System is towed.
!
Avoid any bodily contact with high pressure water streams from Sprinklers and End
Guns.
!
Keep away from fields where the System is chemigating.
Make sure the applied chemical and water does not blow or drift past the area of intended operation.
A
Check Valve must be installed between the
Pivot Center and the Pump to prevent the mixture of water and chemical from siphoning back into the irrigation water source. Comply with all local, state, and federal regulations.
!
Do not oversize Fuses. Fuses are sized for a specific circuit. It is very important to make sure you have the proper fuse size in place before initially starting the System and when replacing Fuses.
!
Do not operate System when temperatures are below 40°F (4.5°C). This can cause structural damage to the System.
!
In most states it is unlawful to spray water on state and county roadways. This is a serious hazard and must not be allowed.
System Safety
!
!
If your System is equipped with any Auto-
Stop or Auto-Reverse Mechanism, make sure they are working correctly and a
Tower Barricade is properly installed as per this manual. Reinke disclaims any
and all liability (including any liability created pursuant to the Irrigation
Systems Warranty) with regard to damage to the Irrigation System, or to other property, or personal injury or death, caused by improper installation or maintenance of Reinke-supplied Tower
Auto-Reverse or Auto-Stop Switches or
Tower Barricades, or by use of customersupplied Barricades.
!
Driveshafts may start without warning.
Keep away from Driveshafts to prevent clothing or limbs from being entangled, resulting in severe injury.
!
Do not endanger your own life and possibly the lives of others by being negligent.
Maintain adequate crop clearance.
Allowing the systems trussing to drag in the crop can cause structural damage to the system.

This meter is mounted on the
Main Control Panel Inner Door and monitors the voltage between two incoming legs of the power supply. This meter should read
456-504 VAC, 60 HZ (380-420
VAC, 50 HZ) on 480 VAC
Systems or 230-250 VAC, 60 HZ on 240 VAC Systems. In no event
should the operational voltage read outside these parameters.
Hour Meter
E. Generator Switch (Optional)
Voltmeter
If your System is equipped with an Engine Driven Generator or Pump, the Generator
Switch is used to bypass the engine shutdown during start up. The “START” position is used when starting the engine. Then the switch is turned to “RUN” after the System is running. If this switch is left in the “START” position, the engine shutdown is bypassed and the engine will not kill in the event the System stops.

If your System is equipped with an optional Low Pressure
Shutdown, a two-position switch labeled “PRESSURE
BYPASS/AUTO” will be included on the Main Control
Panel. In the “BYPASS” position, the Pressure Switch is bypassed. Use this position when you start the System or want to move the System without supplying water to it. In the
“AUTO” position, the Pressure Switch is activated and the
System will shut down if the pressure falls below the preset level. Be sure the switch is in the “AUTO” position after pressure has built in the System. This assures proper function of the switch during water application and normal operation.
Pressure Switch
(Located on Pivot)
H. Direction Switch
Direction Switch
This switch is used to select the System's direction of operation. To run the System clockwise, the switch must be placed in the “FORWARD” position before pressing the Start Button.
To run the System counterclockwise, the switch must be placed in the “REVERSE” position before pressing the Start Button. In the “AUTO” position, the System will reverse direction when the Tower Auto-Reverse Switch is tripped by the Physical Barricade or the System reaches the programmed Barrier from the Setup Menu. (See page16 for
details.) If the Direction Switch is placed in the “FORWARD” or “REVERSE” position, the System will stop when the Tower Auto-Reverse Switch is tripped by the Physical Barricade or the System reaches the programmed Barrier from the Setup Menu; thus acting as an automatic System stop. (See page16 for details.)
To change the System's direction between the reversing trip positions, move the Direction Switch to the
“FORWARD” or “REVERSE” position and press the Start Button. The Direction Switch may be moved to the “AUTO” position after “FORWARD” or “REVERSE” so the System reverses when it contacts the
Barricade. If the System is started with the Direction Switch in the “AUTO” position, the System will move in the direction it was last moving. Note: Auto-Reverse Option must be enabled in the PAC III Setup Menu for
the System to start with the Direction Switch placed in the “AUTO” position. See page 16 for details.

I. Safety OK Indicator Light
The Safety OK Indicator Light will illuminate when the Safety Circuit is complete and the system is running. If the Safety Circuit is open the problem must be corrected before the
System can safely start. One reason for a "no go" safety circuit could be a stuck Tower that has caused misalignment. Call your Dealer or authorized Service Person for assistance.
Safety OK
Indicator
Light
J. Start Button
After the Direction Switch has been placed in the “FORWARD,” “REVERSE,” or
“AUTO” positions, movement of the System is initiated by engaging the Start Button.
This activates the appropriate magnetic Contactor in the Main Control Panel. The
Contactor "latches" if all safety circuits indicate "closed" or "go" condition. You can usually hear the contacts engage when the button is engaged. However, if after you release the button, another "thump" is heard, the Contactor did not stay engaged
(latched) and the System will not continue to run. This indicates the safety circuits have an "open" or "no go" condition that needs correcting. Do not hold your finger on
the button, forcing the System to override the safety circuit. This can and will cause
damages to your System in as little as two or three seconds. One reason for a "no go" safety circuit could be a stuck Tower that has caused misalignment. Call your Dealer or authorized Service Person for assistance.

IV. Starting the System
(See pages 1-4 for specific pictures and control information.)
The following procedures are for typical installations. If your installation is other than typical, consult your
Dealer or Service Person. See appropriate System Manual for instructions on optional equipment.
**If the System has just been installed; the Generator or its direction of rotation been changed; or the power service has been worked on or changed; have your Service Person check the System for proper phasing.**
1.
Observe field and System conditions to be sure the System and System’s path are clear of people and any other obstacles.
See “System Safety” section at the beginning of at the beginning of this manual.
2.
If you want to run water with the System, ensure
Electric Pump Control is enabled and safe to start as per Pump Manufacturer’s recommendations. Then turn Pump Disconnect Switch to the “ON” position.
3.
If your System utilizes an optional Generator
Switch to control a Combustion Engine Driven
Well and/or Generator, turn the Generator Switch to the “START” position.
Start the engine following all Engine Manufacturer’s safety and operating instructions.
4.
Turn Main Disconnect Switch to the “ON” position.
5.
Observe the voltage on the Main Control Panel
Voltmeter.
This meter should read 456-504 VAC,
60 HZ (380-420 VAC, 50 HZ) on 480 VAC
Systems or 230-250 VAC, 60 HZ on 240 VAC
Systems. In no event should the operational
voltage read outside these parameters.
6.
Turn System Power Switch to the “ON” position.
7.
Ensure “Safety OK” Indicator Light is on. If it is not on, the Safety Circuit is open. See "Safety OK
Indicator Light” on page 4.
9.
If your System is equipped with an optional Low
Pressure Shut Down, turn the Pressure Override
Switch to “BYPASS” position.
10.
Set PAC III Timer to desired speed. See “PAC
III Normal Operation” section beginning on page 5.
11.
Turn Direction Switch to desired direction.
“FORWARD” = Clockwise, “AUTO” = Auto-
Reverse, “REVERSE” = Counterclockwise. Note:
Auto-Reverse Option must be enabled in the PAC III
Setup Menu for the System to start with the Direction
Switch placed in the “AUTO” position. See page 16 for details.
12.
Push Start Button.
You should hear the magnetic Contactor engage (snap) and the System should start. If not, recheck this procedure to make sure you have followed it correctly. Release the button. If another snap is heard, a Malfunction is indicated. See "Start Button"on page 4. Do not hold
the Start Button in for more than three (3) seconds as this will override the safety circuits.
13.
If your System is equipped with an optional
Low Pressure Shut Down, once the System has built up pressure, turn the Pressure Override Switch to
“AUTO” position.
14.
If your System utilizes an optional Generator
Switch to control a Combustion Engine Driven Well or Generator, turn the Generator Switch to “RUN” position.
8.
Turn Water Supply Switch to the “ON” position if you want to run water with the System. Turn
Water Supply Switch to the “OFF” position if you want to run the System dry.

B. Sector Programming
Sector Programming is a useful tool when you want to water certain sections (sectors) of the field with different application rates. There are two different Sector Programs with the capability to water up to 10 different sectors per Sector Program. You must pick the beginning and ending degrees of each sector and the forward and reverse application depths of each sector. Only one Sector Program can run at any given time.
Example:
0°
270°
Sector #1
0.75 ”
Sector #3
0.25”
180°
Sector #2
0.50”
90°
Sector Program #1 needs to be programmed as per the following conditions. System needs to apply 0.75” between 270° and 90°
(Sector #1)
.
System needs to apply 0.50” between 90° and
180° between 180° and 270°
(Sector #3)
.
Note: Always configure Sector Programs with
a clockwise rotation from 0°. Sequences should also be numbered in consecutive order in a clockwise rotation from 0°.
See Setup
Instructions on page 14 to identify 0° on your
System.
Note:
The application depth on the Normal
Operation Screen will apply to areas not covered by an active Sector Program.

Appendix A: Calculating End Tower Movement
The actual End Tower movement of the System is based on percentage timing calculated by the PAC Module.
The Standard Cycle Period for the Timer is 60 seconds, but 30 seconds is an optional setting. The Percentage
Cycle the End Tower will move is calculated by dividing the Minimum Depth Setting by the Application
Depth Setting as shown below:
Minimum Depth Setting (see page 13)
Application Depth Setting (see page 5)
X 100 = % of End Tower Movement
Example:
Minimum Depth Setting = 0.10”
Application Depth Setting = 0.20”
X 100 = 50%
The number of seconds the End Tower will move is calculated by dividing the Minimum Depth
Setting by the Application Depth Setting and multiplying the Cycle Time Setting as shown below:
Minimum Depth Setting (See page 13)
Application Depth Setting (See page 5)
X Cycle Time Setting
(See page 13)
= # of seconds End
Tower will move
Example:
Minimum Depth Setting = 0.10”
Application Depth Setting = 0.20”
X 60 = 30 seconds that End Tower will move
Appendix B: Calculating Part Circle Systems
If the System is on a part circle, the Hours To Apply can be setup to the number of hours it will take to move the partial revolution. For example, if the Speed Chart says the System will take 21 hours to complete one circle at
100% but the Pivot only moves 3/4 of a revolution, the number of hours can be recalculated by multiplying 21
X 3/4 = 15 hours, 45 minutes. See diagram below.
Hours To Apply
21:00
Full Circle
Hours To Apply
15:45
¾ Circle
The recalculated number of Hours To Apply may be entered as the “HOURS PER REVOLUTION” setting in the Setup Menu. The PAC Timer can then make a better approximation of when the pivot will traverse the part circle. The ideal setup would be to actually time the System as it moves around the circle at 100%, and enter that exact time as the “HOURS PER REVOLUTION” setting in the Setup Menu.
