•
The ability to input and store Historical ET data on a monthly basis (12 months); the data is
based on a daily average, at the geographic location of the controller.
•
The ability to store an ET reference value. This value is used during the adjusted station
runtime ET calculations.
•
The ability to automatically re-compute the user entered station runtime, at the moment of
irrigation, utilizing the current ET information
. The station runtime is evaluated and
adjusted based on days since last irrigation. The controller automatically compensates for
changes in weather patterns between irrigation days.
