Integrated Pivot Panel is a radio remote control panel which can control center pivots, linear pivots, and hydraulic pivots using available servo control valves. This panel is also capable of controlling sprinkler, drip, or flood irrigation control valves.

  • Field Programmable Pivot Panel has the ability to be programmed to perform functions in the future and to electronically store multiple future schedules as well as running currently active schedules. The panel may be set in the manual mode or controlled remotely with the necessary options. A keypad and LCD display assists in programming and control.
  • Manual Control Pivot Panel has selectable settings that take immediate effect and the panel runs with these settings until stopped by conditions or changed manually. Once stopped, it will not restart until manually restarted.
  • Area Remote Terminal Unit (ARTU) is a stand-alone, programmable cluster controller for up to eight (8) remote terminal units (RTU). The A-RTU provides an alternative to PC based Monitor and Control Systems without sacrificing future expandability to a System Control Computer (SCC) or basic functionality within the Telemetry/SCADA Monitor and Control System.
  • Remote Terminal Units (RTU) designed and manufacted by DFA collect, store and forward information and/or monitor and control remote devices on a peer-to-peer communications scheme. The DFA RTU utilizes an open architecture and open communications protocol known as OpenLINK™ and can be easily networked by radio, phone, cellular, RS 232 cable, RS422 / IEEE 485, fiber optic, Ethernet, or internet.
  • Auto Alarm Phone Dialing System with or without a synthesized voice or simply called “Dialer” resides either within the System Control Computer’s Base Radio Modem or within a RTU System Controller. The Dialer software interface called LVDialer™ resides on the System Control Computer (SCC). If an RTU System Controller, the dialer software functions are accessible through an LCD Display and Keypad.
  • Base Radio Modem (BRM) is serially connected to the System Control Computer (SCC) and is the radio communications to all remote sites within a Telemetry/SCADA System. LVMAC™ software developed by DFA is the user software interface to the Base Radio Modem radio communications functions and resides on the System Control Computer (SCC).
  • Radio Repeater is used to relay messages outbound and inbound within a radio communications path due to geographical high and low spots interfering with signal transmission strength within the path. Within a DFA Telemetry/SCADA System, each RTU is a repeater with “store and forward” capabilities. However, there may still exist terrain which requires a repeater within a radio communications path.
  • Control Panels – motor or pump.
  • Controllers – for local control.
  • Electrical Panels or Electrical Controls to UL specifications.
  • Circuit Boards. The DFA manufactured printed circuit boards which are used in the DFA RTU are stocked inhouse and can be delivered next day.
  • Custom Design Electronic Products.
