The TAMAR-3 irrigation controller redefines landscape irrigation with precision, flexibility, and real-time cellular connectivity. Available in both AC and DC configurations, TAMAR-3 can be installed anywhere, even in remote locations, where there is no access to the power grid.
Designed to manage up to 16 valves, with the option to expand 32, it supports a wide variety of latching solenoids and irrigation valves, delivering analog and digital outputs with precise control through adjustable pulse width and voltage. Its real-time cellular connectivity links seamlessly to the RECO cloud-based central irrigation management system, offering two-way data transmission for real-time remote monitoring and management. TAMAR-3 supports unlimited volume-based and time-based programs, while optimizing water usage with features like automatic volume prediction. With versatile power options, real-time connectivity, scalability and water optimization, it’s a sustainable, reliable solution for landscapes of every scale.

features a built-in MPPT controller for optimal solar panel performance and intelligent charging control to extend lithium battery lifespan
TAMAR-3 supports a wide range of water flow pulse frequencies (up to 100 pulses per second) for precise monitoring and control
capable of functioning independently for extended periods without server connectivity, ensuring all essential features remain operational at all times
all TAMAR-3 controllers are remotely monitored and operated on web or mobile through RICO cloud-based central irrigation management system. Technicians can connect locally in the field through short-range Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
adds fertilizers to the water using multiple methods, based on quality, on time, or based on proportion between the fertilizer and the water
by monitoring the water meters the system automatically identifies that the filter needs cleaning and can automatically clean the filter by backwashing it (reversing the flow of water so that it enters from the bottom of the filter bed, lifts and rinses the bed, then exits through the top of the filter tank)
The communication gateway can connect between existing PLCs, such as pumping controllers, moisture controllers, densiometric controllers, temperature controllers, etc.*, and the RECO cloud-based central irrigation management system irrigation control system. Available in both AC and DC configurations, the gateway offers two-way real-time cellular-based data transmission to RECO cloud-based management system communications.
* Some integrations require additional custom driver development.
connection through standard serial communication methods - RS232/RS486

real-time cellular-based data transmission to RECO cloud-based management system
The Water Network Protector is a central controller that identifies and mitigates water leakages in the irrigation network, resulting in substantial water savings and preventing road spillage. In addition, as a central controller, the Water Network Protector can be optionally used to monitor and control a pump as well as other controllers in the network.
Installed at the water source, the Water Network Protector is connected to a main water meter and the main valve. The water network protector monitors the various TAMAR-3 controllers in the network, through the RECO cloud-based central irrigation management system, and compares the flows of the various controllers to the flow measured through the connected main water meter. If the comparison shows that the flow in the water meter is higher than the aggregate flow of the controllers/valves, this means that there is a water leakage. In such cases, an alert is generated in the RECO system, and the system can automatically mitigate the problem by shutting down the valve.
Another use case is when there is a breach in the main water line, for example due to construction work. In this case, the Water Network Protector senses that there is water flow through the main line, while there is no water flow demand from the controllers/valves. This will generate an alert, and the system can optionally shut down the main valve.
Another use of the Water Network Protector is to control a water pump. In this case, the Water Network Protector controller is connected to a water pump and to the RECO cloud-based central irrigation management system. When RECO senses that there is a demand for additional water flow from the controllers, the Water Network Protector turns on the pump to meet the demand and shuts it down when necessary.
serves as “master controller” to monitor the various controllers throughout the water network (up to 32 controllers). It can, for example, alert when the a controller in the network has a fault or lost communication
identifies water leakages by performing flow balance calculations, in which it compares water flows in the main valve and subsequent controllers/valves or identifies when there is water flow from the main valve, but no actual irrigation. The thresholds for generating an event are adjustable
through RECO, it alerts the relevant stakeholders in the event of a water leakage, while providing GIS information on the leakage location
in the event of water leakage, RECO can be configured to send a command to the Water Network Protector controller to automatically close the main valve through the latching solenoids, providing immediate relief before maintenance arrives
the Water Network Protector controller can be used to control the water pump. It can turn on/off the pump to meet the irrigation demand

real-time cellular-based data transmission to RECO cloud-based management system
The weather station adapter serves as a communication adapter that receives data from a weather station and sends it in real-time to the RECO cloud-based central irrigation management system. By connecting to a weather station, you can increase your water consumption savings by 25%-30%. The weather station feeds actual weather data (e.g. rainfall measurements, evapotranspiration trends, winds, etc.) to Reco. Based on this data, the coefficient rate is updated on a daily basis and is fed to each individual irrigation controller in the field to determine the precise irrigation quantity needed.
irrigation volumes (ecoefficiency rates) are adjusted automatically based on actual weather
can connect to leading weather stations, such as Davis weather station
