Weather Interrupts
Automatically cancel watering due to adverse weather
conditions.
The ET Manager can automatically cancel watering should unfavorable
weather conditions arise. You decide how much rainfall or wind is
required or how cold it must be to cancel watering. An Alert message is
displayed whenever a Weather Interrupt cancels watering.

NOTE:
Once the default settings have been changed, they are
not able to be automatically reset by the ESPLXD-ET Controller.
Rain Interrupt
If rainfall over the last hour exceeds the 1 Hour Rain Interrupt setting,
watering is canceled. Once the total rainfall in the last hour drops below
the 1 Hour Rain Interrupt setting, the 1 Hour Rain Interrupt will clear.
If rainfall over the last 24 hours exceeds the 24 Hour Rain Interrupt
setting, watering is canceled. Once the total rainfall in the last 24 hours
drops below the 24 Hour Rain Interrupt setting, the 24 Hour Rain
Interrupt will clear.
Temperature Interrupt
If the air temperature received by the hourly weather signal is less
than the Temperature Interrupt setting, watering is canceled. Once
the air temperature rises above the interrupt setting, the Temperature
Interrupt will clear.
Wind Interrupt
If the wind speed received by the hourly weather signal exceeds the
Wind Interrupt setting, watering is canceled. Once the wind speed
decreases below the interrupt setting, the Wind Interrupt will clear.
Provider Interrupt
The Weather Reach
TM
Signal Provider (WRSP) can send a signal to cancel
watering. This may be necessary during an emergency condition in the
community to limit the demand on the community water system. As
a service, your WRSP may also watch weather forecasts and choose to
interrupt watering for expected conditions such as large rain storms. A
Provider Interrupt lasts for 24 hours. For information regarding a current
Provider Interrupt, contact your Weather Reach
TM
Signal Provider.
