Phase Lock – The Intelli-Sense receives daily weather updates from
three different paging carriers. At the time of ET Everywhere service
activation, the carrier with the highest signal strength is selected to
ensure the best data reception and to expedite the activation process.
After initial activation, the Intelli-Sense receives all carriers each night
to provide redundancy for data reception.
Rain Service – This is an optional service available in a limited number
of areas that enables the controller to receive rainfall information to
adjust the program accordingly. Rain Service data accounts for local
reported rainfall and includes it in the soil moisture depletion calculations.
Stacking – When Stacking option "Yes" is selected, the controller is
constrained to run one automatic watering schedule (A, B or U) at a
time. The stations within the schedule run one at a time in numerical
order until all programmed stations have completed their cycle and
soak times.
When Stacking option "No" is selected, the watering schedules operate
independently. Each schedule will have specific start times and a water
window assignment. With stacking disabled, up to 4 stations can
operate simultaneously, depending on how the schedules may overlap.
If a fifth station attempts to turn on, schedule "U" will be disabled.
The primary factor to consider before disabeling the Stacking feature,
is if the hydraulic capacity of the irrigation system is adequate for the
increased demand of concurrent multiple station operation.
Water District Number – If you are an active participant in a water
agency program, you will be given a water control district identification
number to enter during the ET Everywhere service activation.
This five-digit code will enable the controller to be automatically
notified of local agency requirements and/or restrictions.
– The Water Window is a selectable time frame ranging
Water Window
from 6 hours minimum to 23 hours and 59 minutes maximum per
scheduled watering day. The Water Window start time marks the begin-
ning of irrigation for the day. All stations which need to operate on the
scheduled watering day must run to completion before the end of the
Water Window occurs.
