Here you will have the option of enabling or
disabling the use of negative hold-over (rain) for any
of the controller’s seven programs. If you select
YES, Negative hold-over will be used for that
program to reduce irrigation run times. If you select
NO, rain will have no effect on irrigation run times for
that program. If there is no rain bucket installed and
you are not sharing rain data through the Calsense
Command Center program, these settings will have
no effect on irrigation.
