Merry Christmas and happy new year to all of you.

I have an issue when placing RainBird 5000 series turf rotor.
First it says no catalogue while installing and while placing it is not functioning properly..
It also shows very high pressure when I check the equipment info as attached.

Nibal,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well. What happens if you use the Replace function within the Edit Equipment dialog? Will it allow you to pick from the proper available design pressures?

After adding the exact equipment back with the replace tool, you should see proper pressures, but let us know if you see otherwise any sending your drawing files in a tech support ticket, and we can go from there.
Jake,

I've tried to replace, delete, even restart Autocad, but the 5000 series heads are still functioning the same.


I just sent the support ticket..

5000 ROTOR SERIES SMALL RADIUS AND STILL SHOWING HIGH BAR.png Hi jesse,
Thank you for the reply below for my support ticket..
am putting it here for the benefit of all others irrigation designers in case they faced similar situation..

Hi Nibal,

Thank you for reaching out. We're looking in your project files. Jake also linked me to your Land F/X thread post.

I found that you are correct, the Bars for the "TURF ROTOR 5000" was wrong. It was roughly listing the PSI of the head instead of the Bars. If you click edit equipment on the turf rotor 5000, you can re-select 2.4 Bars, and it will adjust the pressure to that.

In your community post, you also stated that the turf rotor 5000 is not functioning properly when placing it. Could you describe that further to me?

I did edit the equipment and chose 2.4 bars in the design pressure window but still showing high bar.

5000 Rotor head series is functioning weird while placing as attached. it also giving small radius not like before. 5000 ROTOR SERIES FUNCTIONING WEIRD.png

Thank you Jessie,

Hi Nibal,

Yes the spray radius will appear differently with the incorrect bars reading in the design pressure. But once the design pressure is changed, it will revert to its normal scale. Have you tried changing the turf rotor 5000 to a different pressure? Like 3.1 or 3.8?






Dear Jesse,

When I go to edit window
And click design pressure , it give error saying no catalogue information

Then when I clicked ok

I changed to 3.1 and 3.8
The placed heads are instantly changed radiuses to normal ones (as attached)
But when I place a new one it function weird again( as attached)


Nibal
Happy new year to all.

wish you all the best in 2023..

Jake,

am still having the issue with the high pressure of the 5000 series heads and just now I am facing this issue with 3500 series too.

please need urgent help as I am supposed to submit to the client in few days..

Nibal
Jake,

In the same problematic file,
I replaced the Problematic turf rotors 3500 series with the turf spray to save time,
after placing and sizing the valve , it gave me white angled polylines as shown in the attached file .. what can be the problem for this?..

Please note that am using Autocad 2018
& Land F/X is up to date
Nibal,
Happy New Year! Please send us your latest drawing and project data files in the open support ticket you have open with us and we can take a look at what might be going on.

Regards,
Nibal,

There was a bug with fixed-arc rotors in Metric plans.
This has been fixed with the 19.01 update.

Regards,

--J
Many Thanks Jake & Jeremiah for the fix.

But now am not able to install the update to check if the fix is working in my plan.
the install button is not activated..


Think because I have Autocad 2018, and Land F/X is only supporting version 2019 and higher, Am I right?


Nibal
Yayyyyyyyyy..

It is FIXED.


I upgraded to Autocad 2022 and installed the Land F/X update and it worked perfectly..:) :) :)


Thank you so much..

Nibal
Nibal,
Glad you got things working! Let us know if you have any other questions or issues and we will be happy to help you out.

Regards,
Jake,


Please find the attached file..
the 5000 series is fixed and working good but
3500
8000 series are not. They are showing high pressure in the data information(same problem like 5000 before)

after placing 3500 head SERIES and sizing the valve , it gave me white angled polylines as shown in the attached file .. what can be the problem for this?.



I sent the files

Please need help
