The four (4) settings on the screen determine how
much actual rainfall will be placed into the rain table,
which are used to offset irrigation run times. The
following is a description of each:
Stop irrigation after: This setting determines how
much rain must fall before the controller will start
accumulating rainfall values in the rain table. It also
determines when to halt any on going irrigation. In
figure 3 0.10 inches of rain will have to fall before
any rain data starts to accumulate in the rain table.
Maximum Hourly Rain: This setting determines the
maximum amount of rain that will be put in the rain
table after a period of one (1) hour of rain. In figure
3, a maximum of 0.20 inches of rain will be put into
the rain table, no matter how much rain falls in a one
(1) hour period. The amount of rain from this setting
put into the rain table, will increase only until it
reaches the 24 HOUR TOTAL setting.
Maximum 24 Hour Total: This setting determines
the maximum amount of rain that will be put into the
rain table in a 24 hour period. In figure 3, a
maximum of 0.60 inches of rain will be put into the
table, no matter how much rain falls in a 24 hour
period. The amount of rain from this setting put into
the rain table, will increase only until it reaches the
LET RAIN ONLY BUILD UP TO :setting.
Let Rain Only Build Up to: This setting determines
the maximum amount of rain that can be stored in
the rain table. In figure 3, the controller will stop
storing rain data in the rain table if the Maximum 24
Hour Total reaches 1.50 inches of rain.
