3 Bailoy / GTI PC / Overview OVERVIEW Designed and manufactured by Bailoy in 1995, GTI PC was one of the first Windows-based PC systems in the irrigation industry. Ever since its introduction, the hardware and software powering its comprehensive features have been regularly updated increasing its functionality further while also enhancing the user experience. GTI PC is available for sites that use either 2- or 3-core control cables. The Gemini system is used with 2-core control cable, the Trident system with 3-core. This makes it an ideal replacement for older controllers such as the SC3000, CDS-DIU or Watermation TW1 and TW2 and in most cases, can utilise the existing site control cables, decoders and solenoids. 01

4 Bailoy / GTI PC / Hardware Overview HARDWARE OVERVIEW The GTI PC system consists of up to 4 DOUs (Decoder Output Unit) and a fibre-optic cable connection to a computer running GTI software. The DOU is IP65 rated meaning it can be installed in most environments allowing for simple retrofitting into the existing controller locations. If it is not possible to install the computer in the same location, within 20m of the DOU, or a distributed system is required, Communication Boosters can be installed meaning the computer can be positioned within 1600m of the nearest DOU. Each DOU is available in a 2, 3 or 4 control cable (CSG) option with each CSG able to control up to 114 stations (109 on Gemini). This flexibility allows the design to be made to measure without the need to have unused CSGs, therefore reducing costs. GTI PC uses multiple CSGs, which is better than single control cable systems as a damaged CSG would mean you only lose a small section of the system, not everything. 02

5 Bailoy / GTI PC / Hardware Overview DESIGNED TO BE FLEXIBLE Distributed system The GTI system can also be used as a distributed system, where each DOU is installed close to the area it controls. DOUs communicate with the computer using communication boosters and telecom cable. Each DOU is designed to report back immediately when there are hardware issues, such as a blown fuse. An extended test can also be performed from the central computer. 03

6 Bailoy / GTI PC / Hardware Overview Built-in decoder programmer Programme, read and check your decoders from the DOU using the GTI software. Built-in pump start A volt-free contact that can be used to control pump systems. The contact is closed when irrigation is taking place. Rain switch input Turn off irrigation when there is too much rainfall. Easy-access connector for programming decoders 04

7 Bailoy / GTI PC / Hardware Overview EXTENSIVE HARDWARE FEATURES Two alarm inputs Both inputs are fully configurable with the alarm status shown in the main window of the GTI software. The inputs can detect low system pressure, low tank level and pump failure triggering alarms that can stop the irrigation Built-in surge protection Each CSG output has a built-in surge protector. This device can be replaced by the user when the need arises. LED indicators to check DOU status Invaluable for quickly diagnosing DOU hardware issues. All alarm conditions are logged for reference Interrupted irrigation programmes can be restarted later if required Status indicators inform user 05

8 Bailoy / GTI PC / Software Overview SOFTWARE OVERVIEW EASY TO USE GTI PC software is simple to use with guided steps for every process and no confusing spreadsheets or multiple windows. Once the database of site information has been setup, the user could be irrigating in just a few minutes. The combination of hardware and software will provide the user with lots of features to setup and adjust irrigation run times quickly and easily and view data to diagnose any system issues giving precision-control of their irrigation on a daily basis. GTI was designed to be user friendly and specifically based on: What do I want to water? Main software window When are my irrigation programmes scheduled to run? What is irrigating? 06

9 Bailoy / GTI PC / Software Overview FLOW MANAGED SYSTEM Flow managed system This feature manages the hydraulic configuration. It ensures pump capacity and flow limits of the pipe distribution network are never exceeded which ensures sprinkler heads maintain the specified coverage at all times. Configuring pump stations: GTI PC can be configured with up to 8 independent pump stations. Each pump will have its own hydraulic tree For simplicity and ease, a basic tree can be instantly created from a single click Compensate the hydraulic behaviour for each station to allow for: Different valve pressure settings or elevation Slow-closing valves, to avoid temporarily exceeding the flow from the associated pump system or in the supply pipes The strict flow management creates a near constant flow from the pump station, which also helps minimise pump wear. 07

10 Bailoy / GTI PC / Software Overview INTUITIVE ONLINE MANUAL Easy to use screen layouts Simple guided steps, no confusing spreadsheets or multiple windows. Online help manual covering all aspects of the software and hardware. Each window in the software has a help button. When selected, it opens the manual at the correct page. The manual also explains how to wire decoders, operate the remote control, and has a quick-learn tutorial to get you started. Support button Click this button when requested by the Bailoy support technician to gain access to GTS Support. See GTI-PB-011 for further information. System status area At a glance view of the next scheduled irrigation programme, pump station flow, total water consumption for month, and the most recent logbook entry. Online manual always available through help button 08

11 Bailoy / GTI PC / Software Overview Irrigation programmes Create irrigation programmes for one, multiple or all of your stations, for any application. With up to 256 programmes every possible setup option is available. Setup by time (minutes) or precipitation (mm) to create your preferred routine irrigation programmes or for when specific-to-course treatments are needed. No need to write an irrigation programme for one off requirements. Instead a start time is chosen and irrigation times/precipitation is set for the required stations, meaning you could add thousands of individual programmes to the irrigation schedule. Remote control As well as the DTMF Radio Remote option, the software also offers a dedicated window that allows the operation of a virtual radio handset on a 3G/4G enabled device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) without the substantial financial investment required for the radio hardware, aerial and installation costs. The virtual handset is used to select stations for immediate irrigation and to stack the stations in a queue when the number of requested stations exceeds the hydraulic limitations of the system. The codes required to select stations are designed to be easily remembered. Manual irrigation Select multiple stations for manual irrigation quickly from a list of courses and holes. Stations can be irrigated sequentially or within the shortest time possible. Like all other options, the manual irrigation feature is flow managed, too. Adding the optional VIP feature makes the manual irrigation easier and visually clearer. 09

12 Bailoy / GTI PC / Software Overview VIP maintenance centre A feature that is used to quickly add new stations or move/delete existing stations and sprinkler heads from the graphics without needing support from the installer or manufacturer. Please note VIP option required, see GTI-PB-012 for further information. Rapid programming Purposefully designed to setup irrigation programmes to cover the whole area/course in just a few clicks. You can then let the GTI system do the hard work for you. Diagnostic test facilities Test the operation of a single, selection of, or all stations, with results stored in the easy-access diagnostic logbook: Visually displayed diagnostics Test by station, course, hole or VIP graphically-displayed selection, CSG The diagnostics includes an option to pause before each hole is tested allowing for a service technician to check the (sprinkler head) operation without an assistant Diagnostic logbook allows for data to be analysed after the tests are complete meaning the service technician can work on other jobs while diagnostic tests are in progress When diagnosing sprinkler heads, stations can be given different test durations, allowing for physical sprinkler inspections 10

13 Bailoy / GTI PC / Software Overview MONITORS WATER USE Water consumption records The GTI software logs the calculated water consumption for all controller based irrigation whether scheduled programmes, manual, remote control or diagnostic tests. Consumption from the current or previous years can be viewed and compared as a list or visually. Water consumption shown as list Water consumption shown visually 11

14 Bailoy / GTI PC / Software Overview AUTO LOGBOOK Operational logbook The logbook is used to record events from multiple programme conditions such as every time an irrigation programme is completed or stopped. The irrigation programmes, together with logged information such as system faults and precipitation, are stored for later historical reference or analysis. The addition of VIP allows instant analysis of all faults recorded within a selected period. As a result a service technician can instantly recognise where a cable or joint problem might be. Logged details for further analysis Visually diagnose actions instantly 12

18 \ INDEX Overview Page 01 Hardware Overview Pages Software Overview Pages Software Features Pages 06-13

19 Bailoy / GTI EC / Overview OVERVIEW GTI EC controllers are economical irrigation systems for smaller sites on a modest budget, yet retain many of the powerful features found in their GTI PC stablemate. Available in Pro and Lite editions, GTI EC customers now have a choice with how they want to irrigate. Both editions are available for sites that use either 2- or 3-core control cables. The Gemini system is used with 2-core control cable, the Trident system with 3-core. This makes them an ideal replacement for older controllers such as the SC3000 or Watermation TW1 and TW2 and, in most cases, can utilise the existing site control cables, decoders and solenoids. Forwards and backwards compatible with all equipment manufactured by Bailoy, means both GTI EC editions are fully upgradable or flexible to your existing infrastructure. 01

20 Bailoy / GTI EC / Hardware Overview HARDWARE OVERVIEW The GTI EC uses a single DOU (Decoder Output Unit) with 4 control cable outputs (CSGs) available allowing control of up to 448 stations (436 on Gemini). The DOU is IP65 rated so can be installed in most environments allowing for simple retrofitting into existing controller locations. The DOU is connected to a dedicated touch screen tablet, running GTI EC software. This can be installed up to 10 meters from the DOU using a fibre optic cable, or up to 1600 meters using a Communication Booster. 02

21 Bailoy / GTI EC / Hardware Overview HOST OF USEFUL FEATURES Built-in decoder programmer Programme, read and check your decoders from the DOU using the GTI software. Built-in pump start A volt-free contact that can be used to control pump systems. The contact is closed when irrigation is taking place.

Deliberately uncomplicated interface 04

23 Bailoy / GTI EC / Software Overview TWO EC CHOICES The GTI EC Pro is designed to flow manage all your irrigation requirements. Irrigation programmes are scheduled by Hole/Area or station priority. The software then automatically irrigates in the quickest and most efficient order. Alternatively, the programme can be scheduled using the step sequence feature. This allows users to design up to 10 unique sequences to suit their irrigation needs. The GTI EC Lite is designed to emulate older controllers like the SC3000 and TW2 by using the step sequence feature. This allows users to design up to 10 unique sequences to suit their irrigation needs. The GTI EC Lite can be upgraded to benefit from flow management and features by simply ordering a feature unlock key. The GTI EC Pro has a comprehensive report and alert feature, providing a range of diagnostic data and alerts on programme and station issues. 05
