Looking to install an irrigation system but have no power?  Considering a generator for pumping requirements?  Looking for a controller to operate generator starts, and run solenoid valves in the system?  Then the Heron 2-Wire Hybrid may be just what you are looking for.

The Heron Battery 2-Wire Hybrid Controller offers an effective means of running a complete generator powered irrigation system.

Complete with battery back-up during stand-by, this unit acts as a stand alone command controller, designed to provide a signal start to an auto-start generator, allowing a "warm up" time for the generator, and then converting to AC power itself to start and run the irrigation sequence.  On completion, the controller allows the generator to "cool down" before going into a battery backed-up stand-by mode.
