The ET & RAIN TABLE (Figure 17) is where the
controller stores rainfall numbers (measured in
inches). The numbers in this table can only be
generated from a Rain Bucket wired to the
controller, or shared, using the Calsense Command
Center software, from a controller wired to a rain
bucket. In figure 17 the rain table has a combination
of numbers, the letter next to the value indicates
what the value represents:
o
–
Original
, this value is zero (no usable rain), it
has no effect on irrigation run times.
m
–
Below minimum
, the below minimum value is
measured rain but it is not enough to offset irrigation
run times.
r
–
Usable rain
, this value is rain that is used to
offset irrigation run times.
s
–
Shutdown
, this means that irrigation was
stopped due to rain polling being shared with this
controller.
The usable rain in the Rain Table is used to reduce
each stations irrigation run times. The amount of
time each station is reduced is determined by the
precipitation rate of each station and the amount of
usable rain. Usable rain in the Rain Table is
determined by settings programmed at the Rain
Bucket setup screen at the controller. When
scheduled irrigation is set to occur, the controller will
use up the usable rain first by the amount of time
scheduled to irrigate for each station. Until the
usable rain is used up, there will be no irrigation.
This will continue until all of the rain is used up at
which time the irrigation will start again.
