Zimmatic Controllers
– The Only Control Panel Compatible with Fieldnet
Control panels have always been used on pivot sprinklers. New smart control panels, however, are revolutionizing pivot irrigation. These devices reduce water consumption and lead to savings in time and labour.
Zimmatic control panels have everything for the grower who is ready to take complete control of their irrigation and get the most out of their fields.
These control panels include built-in features such as pressure shutdown alerts and pressure restarts and are available with FieldNET for irrigation scheduling, analytics, and optimization.
Zimmatic control panels offer three main benefits:
- Gives growers full control of their pivots
- Tracks the status of pivots and gathers irrigation data quickly and easily
- Upgrades any brand of pivot, renewing a farmer’s initial investment

Adding FieldNET is as Easy as 1,2,3
1. TALK TO YOUR LOCAL ZIMMATIC DEALER
Your Zimmatic dealer will be a constant resource throughout your FieldNET journey. They will help you determine which solution is right for your irrigation operation.
Together, you’ll discuss your operation’s needs, layout, and budget and then walk through the FieldNET options that meet them all.
2. ADD FIELDNET TO YOUR IRRIGATION OPERATION
Depending on your needs, your dealer will recommend one (or more) of the options below. They will also help install the hardware, set it up, and ensure you feel comfortable navigating the interface. There are a few application-specific Fieldnet options to choose from, listed below:
FieldNET CircleScout™ for Remote Pivots
While all FieldNET solutions provide remote monitoring, FieldNET CircleScout is a monitor-only solution for the most remote and hard-to-access pivots.
It uses a satellite signal connection, so you never have to worry about cell coverage dead spots. Plus, it’s easy to install, works with any brand of pivot and has a reliable backup battery that keeps the signal strong, even in the event of power loss.
FieldET Pivot Watch™ for a Low-cost Monitoring Option
The FieldNET Pivot Watch can be mounted to the end of any pivot, regardless of brand, age, or whether it is electric or hydraulic. It’s low-cost and easy to install yourself, requiring no electrical connections.
Once installed, it provides real-time monitoring and critical alerts about performance issues or opportunities for improvement—anytime and from anywhere.
FieldNET Pivot Control Lite™ for Economical Monitoring and Control
FieldNET Pivot Control Lite is a compact, low-cost remote monitoring and control solution that can be retrofitted to almost any electric pivot.
The controller mounts to the end of the pivot and wires directly into the last tower box, offering more flexibility for later adjustments and no modifications to the OEM panel functionality.
FieldNET Pivot Control™ for Upgraded and Universal Control
FieldNET Pivot Control provides a universal interface to upgrade existing pivots to full remote-control technology for pivots, pumps, wells and injectors.
It uses an in-field control interface mounted at the pivot point and an end-of-pivot-mounted GPS receiver that work together to keep you connected and in control.
Zimmatic Control Panels for Out-of-the-Box Command
Our line of advanced Zimmatic controllers all come FieldNET-ready and offer the ability to take command of your pivot irrigation operation without the need for any additional hardware.
3. STAY CONNECTED WITH THE FIELDNET MOBILE APP
After your FieldNET hardware or control panel is installed, you can download the FieldNET mobile app (available on the App Store or Google Play). With it, you can regain control of your days by taking your operation with you wherever you go.
