Condition
Probable Cause
Action
It was raining and the
sprinklers were running
There are several reasons the irrigation system may
be watering during a rainstorm:
The rainfall received in the weather signal may not
correctly represent rainfall at your site.
The Rain Source in the ET Manager Cartridge may be
programmed incorrectly.
Rain Interrupt settings may need to be adjusted.
The weather signal rainfall value may not correctly represent rainfall at
your site. Connect an optional on-site Local Rain Gauge (ETM-RG).
Check the Weather Info for the last hour of rain to verify the rain data is
being reported by your ET Manager Cartridge.
Check the Rain Source to verify the ET Manager Cartridge is programmed
to use data from the correct Rain Source. If correct check the Rain Gauge
for proper functionality (you may need to contact your Weather Reach
TM
Signal Provider).
Program a 1 Hour Rain Interrupt to stop watering until rain accumulations
reach below the programmed 1 Hour Rain Interrupt setting.
Program a 24 Hour Rain Interrupt to cancel watering until rain
accumulations reach below the programmed 24 Hour Rain Interrupt
setting.
