  • Computerized sprinkler control system
    Patent number: 5021939
    Abstract: A computer-controlled irrigation system (10) comprising a computer (22), a number of remote valves (18), and a plurality of reference sensors (28) installed in the area to be irrigated. The number of reference sensors (28) is less than the number of remote valves (18). The computer (22) has a keyboard for providing a set of initialization data (24) supplied by an operator and means for providing a set of operational data (26) for each of the reference sensors (28). Each reference sensor (28) generates a signal indicating actual moisture level for processing by the computer (22), the computer (22) controlling the plurality of remote valves (18) so that the irrigating fluid (12) is delivered to sprinkler heads (20) associated with the remote valves (18) in amounts sufficient to bring the actual moisture level up to a desired moisture level.
