2. Reports / ET & Rain table (Rain)
The Rain Table (Figure 6.6) is where the controller
stores rainfall numbers (measured in inches). The
numbers in this table can be generated from the
following sources:
o
Automatically generated from a Rain
Bucket wired to the controller.
o
Automatically generated from Campbell
Scientific weather station.
o
Automatically shared from another
controller connected to a Rain Bucket
using Calsense Command Center
software. (Controllers must have
communication capabilities to share
rain).
o – Original
This value is zero (no usable rain), it
has no effect on irrigation run times.
m – Below minimum
The below minimum value is
measured rain but it is not enough to offset irrigation
run times.
r – usable rain
This value is rain that is used to
offset irrigation run times.
s – Shutdown
This means that irrigation was
stopped due to rain polling being shared with this
controller.
The usable rain in the Rain Table is used to reduce
each stations irrigation run times determined by the
precipitation rate. Usable rain in the Rain Table is
determined by settings programmed at the Rain
Bucket setup screen at the controller. When
scheduled irrigation is set to occur, the controller will
use up the usable rain first by the amount of time
scheduled to irrigate for each station. Until the
usable rain is used up, there will be no irrigation.
This will continue until all of the rain is used up at
which time the irrigation will start again.
(Table: 0 Reports: 0):
These two values appear in
(Figure 6.6) and are defined as follows:
•
Table:
Shows the amount of usable rain
pulses recorded during a one hour period, in
the controller, that will be applied to
irrigation.
•
Reports:
Shows the amount of total rain,
recorded by the controller, during a one hour
period.
Note:
The number in the upper right hand corner of
the screen (Represented by a 3 in Figure 6.6) is the
total recorded ET gage pulses in the last 24 hours.

SECTION
E. ALERTS
Alerts are a chronological listing of each individual
event that has taken place, or changes that have
been made to the controller. They can be viewed at
the controller physically or obtained from the
controller via communication. The Alerts section of
the controller allows you to view the controller alerts
in the following arrangements:
•
All
Alerts.
•
Change
(alterations made by use of
Command Center software, or by controller
keypad).
•
Irrigation.
•
Status

•
Go To Top
(Returns the highlight cursor to
the top of the current list of alerts being
viewed).
From the REPORTS menu screen (Figure 6.2).

If the “ALERTS TO SEE” menu key is
available on the STATUS screen when the ALERTS

RECENT ALERTS screen to come up, if not the
ALERTS screen will appear as in figure 6.7.
The ALERTS screen is displayed (Figure 6.7).
