Center pivots are just the beginning
1. BaseStation3 can do more than just irrigation monitoring.

2. It comes standard with a number of interface customization options including color theme, language, units of measure, and main screen preferences.
Multiple options to customize the revolutions of your machine
3. Patented Cruise Control™ allows the user to set a time period for their pivot irrigation machine to travel a specified number of degrees.
4. Destination ETA is a feature specific to BaseStation3 that allows you to calculate the duration of a running cycle until it reaches a certain spot in the field.
5. The Pass Counter will count how many passes a pivot makes over a specific point in the current running cycle.
6. With the Stop-in-Slot (SIS) feature, you can tell your pivot to stop when it gets to a certain spot in the field.
7. Using SIS with the Irrigation Cycle feature, you can tell the center pivot how many passes to make over a specific spot until it makes its final stop.
Variable rate irrigation - putting water where you need it
8. Variable rate irrigation (VRI) hardware and software allows you to precisely customize water application based on a number of field variables. With BaseStation3, you can load and manage prescriptions for VRI Speed Control and VRI Zone Control applications. Through the VRI view in BaseStation3, you can monitor and control when prescriptions for each pivot are running, which prescriptions are running, and the progress of the application – all from a single view.
Add-on modules - custom for your application
9. BaseStation3 users have the option to purchase add-on modules, providing them with premium features including field re-entry warnings, advanced reporting and SCADA integration. Please contact your local Valley dealer for more information about turning these features on.
