ESPLXD-ET Controller
Rain Source
Select the source that the ET Manager uses for local rainfall
information.
The ET Manager receives rainfall data from the hourly weather signal,
an optional on-site rain gauge, or by entering the Rain Region number
for your area. The preferred method is to use the weather information
from the Weather Reach
TM
Signal Provider by setting the Rain Source to
“Weather Signal”.
The ET Manager can accept actual rainfall input from both 1mm/tip
(ETM – RG) and 0.01”/tip (RAINGAUGE) rain gauges. These two gauges
connect to the ESPLXD-ET controller in the same way. See the Rain
Gauge Installation section for more information.
Similar to the Weather Region number, a Rain Region number
corresponds to a local rain station that tracks local rainfall, and is also
accessed by the Weather Reach
TM
Signal Provider.
