SRMS Zone Node (16-Zone)

For larger irrigation footprints, the 16-zone node provides one disciplined control architecture instead of fragmented operation.

Deployment is service-scoped: we validate infrastructure, commissioning standards, and tier expansion path before final scope lock.

Quick Answer: When should you choose the 16-zone node?

Choose it when your property operations exceed smaller-zone architectures and you need a unified, scalable SRMS stack. Most projects phase Tier 1 first, then add Tier 2 and Tier 3 protections.

Split-Control Workarounds vs. SRMS 16-Zone Node

Ad Hoc Multi-Controller Setup SRMS 16-Zone Architecture
Fragmented zone visibility and ownership Unified control baseline across up to sixteen zones
Inconsistent upgrade paths per controller island Single Tier 1 to Tier 3 progression model
Reactive operations after visible failures Reliability-first commissioning and monitoring discipline
Unclear infrastructure constraints until late stage Constraints identified during inspection and documented pre-install

Best-fit property profiles

  • Larger residential estates with complex zone maps.
  • HOA common areas where uptime and predictable maintenance are critical.
  • Commercial landscapes requiring coordinated reliability across many active zones.

How it aligns to the SRMS tier path

  • Tier 1: establishes connected control foundation.
  • Tier 2: adds flow monitoring and abnormal-flow protection stack.
  • Tier 3: adds structured response and deeper protection workflow.

Deployment workflow

  • 1

    Map architecture and risk

    Validate zone map integrity, controller location strategy, and priority failure exposure across the property.

  • 2

    Test infrastructure readiness

    Assess wiring continuity, valve access, power stability, and connectivity feasibility at deployment points.

  • 3

    Install and commission node

    Deploy the 16-zone architecture with service standards and confirm predictable operation across all active zones.

  • 4

    Document tier expansion checkpoints

    Define Tier 2 and Tier 3 upgrade requirements with clear technical and service milestones.

What we validate before deployment

  • Wiring integrity, valve accessibility, and enclosure serviceability.
  • Power and connectivity conditions for stable ongoing operation.
  • Known weak points in hydraulic components that can undermine platform outcomes.
Scope clarity: SRMS is optimized for typical 1" and 2" irrigation systems. See SRMS for details.

FAQs

What is the SRMS 16-zone node designed for?

It is the core zone-control profile for larger irrigation footprints where up to sixteen zones require coordinated, reliability-centered management.

How is the 16-zone node different from running two separate controllers?

A single SRMS 16-zone architecture keeps deployment standards, monitoring logic, and tier progression unified rather than fragmented across multiple independent control islands.

Is the 16-zone node commercial-only?

No. It can fit larger residential, HOA, and commercial properties where zone count and operational complexity justify the architecture.

Can a 16-zone deployment start at Tier 1?

Yes. Many projects start at Tier 1 for connectivity and control, then phase to Tier 2 and Tier 3 as requirements grow.

When is Tier 2 flow monitoring added on 16-zone systems?

Tier 2 is added when abnormal-flow protection is required. Timing depends on risk profile, budget sequencing, and site readiness.

Can existing field wiring be retained?

Often yes, provided testing confirms wiring integrity and predictable operation under the upgraded control architecture.

Can Green Guru install owner-supplied hardware for 16-zone projects?

In many cases yes. We verify compatibility, condition, and scope accountability before integration.

How is 16-zone deployment pricing scoped?

Pricing is inspection-based and reflects zone count complexity, infrastructure condition, enclosure/connectivity requirements, and selected tier level.
