Produkt overview

Figur 1: The Sime Duplex 2-inch Full Circle Impact Sprinkler, shown with its main body, impact arm, and a selection of interchangeable nozzles. The sprinkler features a durable cast aluminum construction and a brass base connection.

• Cast Aluminum Body: Ensures durability and resistance to environmental factors.
• 2-inch FNPT Base: Standard threaded connection for easy integration into irrigation systems.
• Spring Arm Impact Drive: Provides reliable and consistent rotation for uniform water distribution.
• Udskiftelige dyser: Allows for customization of flow rate and throw radius based on specific irrigation needs.

Opsætningsinstruktioner

1. Udpakning: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts, including the sprinkler body and various nozzles, are present and undamaged.
2. Dysevalg: Refer to the "Nozzle Performance Chart" in the Specifications section to select the appropriate nozzle for your desired flow rate, throw radius, and operating pressure. The sprinkler comes with a set of nozzles to choose from.
3. Montering af dyse: Insert the chosen nozzle into the sprinkler head. Ensure it is seated firmly to prevent leaks and maintain spray pattern integrity.
4. Montering: Securely attach the sprinkler to a stable riser or stand using its 2-inch FNPT (Female National Pipe Taper) threaded base. Ensure the connection is watertight using appropriate thread sealant or tape. The sprinkler should be mounted vertically for optimal performance.
5. System Tilslutning: Connect your water supply line to the sprinkler's base. Ensure all connections are tight and free of leaks before activating the system.

Betjeningsvejledning

1. Vandforsyning: Gradually open the water supply valve to allow water to flow to the sprinkler. Avoid sudden high-pressure surges.
2. Trykområde: Ensure your system operates within the recommended pressure range of 22-90 PSI for optimal performance. Pressures outside this range may affect the throw radius and spray pattern.
3. Full Circle Operation: The Duplex sprinkler is designed for full-circle rotation, providing uniform coverage over its entire throw radius.
4. Sprayjustering: The sprinkler features a brass screw on the back of the impact arm. This screw can be adjusted to fine-tune the spray pattern and break up the water stream for closer watering or a finer mist. Turning the screw clockwise typically increases the spray break-up, while counter-clockwise reduces it.
5. Overvågning af ydeevne: Observe the sprinkler's operation to ensure even water distribution and proper rotation. Adjust water pressure or nozzle selection if coverage is uneven.

Opretholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your Sime Duplex sprinkler.

• Rengøring af dyse: Periodically inspect the nozzle for blockages from debris (e.g., dirt, sand, mineral deposits). Clean with a small brush or by flushing with water. Avoid using sharp objects that could damage the nozzle orifice.
• Sprinkler Body Inspection: Check the cast aluminum body and impact arm for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure all moving parts operate smoothly.
• Kontrol af fjederarm: Verify that the spring arm mechanism moves freely and returns to its original position after each impact. A stiff or stuck arm may indicate debris or wear.
• Vinterisering: In freezing climates, disconnect the sprinkler from the water supply and drain all water from the unit and associated piping to prevent freeze damage. Store the sprinkler in a dry, protected area.

Fejlfinding

• Sprinkleren roterer ikke:
  • Check for debris obstructing the impact arm or nozzle.
  • Ensure adequate water pressure (minimum 22 PSI).
  • Inspect the spring mechanism for damage or stiffness.
• Uneven Spray Pattern or Reduced Throw:
  • Verify the nozzle is clean and free of blockages.
  • Confirm the water pressure is within the optimal range (22-90 PSI).
  • Check for leaks in the system before the sprinkler.
  • Ensure the sprinkler is mounted vertically.
• Leaks at Connection Point:
  • Tighten the connection to the riser/stand.
  • Reapply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the 2-inch FNPT connection.
