will be saved as “hold-over time” and will be used on the next scheduled irrigation cycle. If the setting is OFF, irrigation will continue
until the program is finished. If the controller has hold-over time, you can view it or delete it
(See Section 10 for information about
viewing and deleting hold-over time

8. Main Display in Daily-ET Mode
As explained in the beginning of this guide, historical ET is used as a back-up to daily-ET, or it can be used as the source data to
drive the program. In either case, you would want to use the historical ET for the area you are located in. The ET1 controller stores
historical ET information for 21 counties in California, and numerous cities within each of those counties. After setting the precipitation
rate for all stations, the following screens will appear. Select the area that you are located in, or the area that most represents your
location. You can also choose to enter your own ET numbers.
