User Program With ET
To program with ET, you must enter the entire irrigation schedule
(cycle time, number of cycles per operating day, soak time) and also
assign a Schedule (water days.) The program you create is then
modified by the daily ET Everywhere Service Updates. Stations in
this mode will run according to the same Start Times you set in
“Setup.”
Remember, if you choose the stacking option, it is a sequential
operation. Non-stacking is a simultaneous operation.
The steps to program your controller with ET are:
1.
Set Station
This allows you to program one station at a time.
2.
Set Program Mode
User Programmed with ET.
3.
Set Cycle Time
This is how long to water for each cycle.
4.
Set Number of Cycles
This is how many times to repeat a cycle.
5.
Set Soak Time
This is the minimum time between cycles to let the soil absorb
water.
6.
Set Water Days
This allows you to select the days to water.
You enter these values for each valve. To speed up the entry process,
information can be copied from one station to another and then
edited as required.
