Pivot Control Lite, an innovative product added to the FieldNET by Lindsay pivot monitoring control solutions line, provides growers with a simpler, more cost-effective option for remote monitoring and control of existing center pivots. An end-of-pivot mounted controller, Pivot Control Lite delivers many advanced irrigation management capabilities previously available only with more expensive and complex solutions.

“Pivot Control Lite is the simplest and most economical way to add remote control and monitoring capabilities to center pivots,” said Reece Andrews, product manager and FieldNET business manager at Lindsay Corporation. “This lower cost option is the perfect solution for growers who don’t need or want some of the more premium capabilities that come with the full Pivot Control solution – such as remote start.”

Pivot Control Lite is designed for retrofit on virtually any brand or model of electric center pivots. The many advanced capabilities in this compact yet powerful solution gives growers the ability to:

“This is an especially great solution for growers with leased land where they have no ownership of the pivot but want the benefits of remote monitoring and control,” Andrews said. “Its location at the last tower makes it extremely simple to install any time of the year.”

Pivot Control Lite also comes with an optional cable theft detection package, so even when the pivot is powered off, Pivot Control Lite will be actively monitoring the span cable.

“Thieves can strip miles of cable very quickly and often go unnoticed,” Andrews said. “With cable theft detection, an email or text alert will be sent when a disruption in continuity is detected. This is valuable, real-time information that can be passed to law enforcement or neighbors to prevent further theft.”
