Water Windows; Create A Water Window - Rain Bird ESP-LXME Installation, Programming & Operation Manual

Water Windows

Used to specify certain times of the day/night when irrigation is
allowed.
Otherwise watering is not allowed outside these "Water Windows". This
is helpful to comply with local regulations which may prohibit irrigation
during certain hours.
d b
CAUTION: Be sure a Water Window is sufficient to allow irrigation
programs to run completely. Irrigation scheduled outside the
Water Window will not run but will resume when the Water
Window opens again. This can cause irrigation programs to "stack"
and eventually create an alarm condition if the controller stacks 8
or more programs.
b b
NOTE: Water Windows can be scheduled to cross midnight. For
example, a Water Window can start at 10:00 PM and continue until
4:00 AM the next morning. Be sure your Watering Start Times are
set to occur within the Water Window. See Section B, Set Watering
Start Times for more details.
