Talgil - SAPIR 2 - Advanced Irrigation Controller

The SAPIR 2 is the next generation of central control irrigation systems. It allows combining various technologies to suit each project's specific needs.

It is an Internet-enabled controller so the user can control everything from his PC or Smartphone.

The SAPIR 2 is the perfect solution for small to medium irrigation projects with a single irrigation head, suitable for both simple and most demanding applications.

Configuration Options

Connectivity with the field's control components

• Connectivity with the field's control components:
  • Local AC or DC digital and analog I/Os
  • Radio RTU
    • RTUs with various digital and analog I/Os

Connectivity with the Cloud

• 4G Cellular Modem
• Local Wi-Fi connection
• External Wi-Fi Module

The new Wi-Fi card allows the SAPIR 2 / SAPIR 2 MINI to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi.

• The Wi-Fi card is installed in the same place as the cellular modem
• The configuration of the Wi-Fi network is done using the TOOLBOX App

SAPIR2 Versions & I/O

AC version – Can be powered directly from mains, using the internal 220V / 110V to 24V AC transformer and a rechargeable battery.

DC version - can be powered via a 20W Solar panel and 1.3Ah rechargeable battery.

The SAPIR2 has a very flexible hardware option, and therefore, there are many combinations for expanding the number of output/inputs / analog inputs in the system.
