WARNING: In order to ensure that the controller intelligently irrigates in the event that
the Weather Station fails, it is important that the Historical ET data be
entered as a fallback. A Weather Station failure is declared by the
controller if the weather station reads a total of 0.0 ET for the 24 hour
accumulation period (midnight to midnight).
When this occurs, the Historical ET data will be automatically used for the
tomorrows ET calculations. In climates that have significant rain, it may
be possible to have a legitimate ET reading of 0.0.
Usage of a rain sensor connected to the controller’s sensor input terminals
is recommended for these installations.
To enable the Rain Master Weather Station as the ET data source device refer to 7.5 WEATHER
STATION.
8.6.4 ET Data from the Internet
Your RME EAGLE controller can be configured with a communications card (iCentral card) to
allow it to be controlled and manipulated over the Internet using Rain Master’s web site
www.rainmaster.com . As part of the service you may optionally elect to have ET data sent to your
controller on a daily basis. Refer to paragraph 6.12 COMMUNICATIONS (ENABLING) in order
to enable Internet communications.
