If a controller is not wired to a rain bucket, the RAIN
BUCKET SETUP screen will only have one setting
(Figure 5.12). This setting is described below:
•
Let Rain Only Build Up to:
This setting
determines the maximum amount of rain
that can be stored in the rain table. In
figure 5.12 the controller will stop storing
rain data in the rain table if the
Maximum 24 Hour Total reaches
1.50
inches of rain.
If you are not sharing rain data using the Calsense
Command CENTER
software, this setting will have
no effect on irrigation.

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, rain (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

program, these settings will have no effect
on irrigation.
