From the WEATHER SETUP screen (Figure 5.2).
1. Press the RAIN SWITCH Menu key
if you want to activate a Rain
Switch.
The RAIN SWITCH SETUP screen is displayed
(Figure 5.19).

the default setting of NO (Figure 5.20).
CAUTION:
If YES is selected, and the controller is not hooked
up to a rain switch irrigation will be halted
. This is
due to rain switch wiring requirements.

5E. ET
The ET section of the controller is used to program
the use evapotransperation data accessed from an
ET Gage, or pre-determined values to compute
irrigation run times using the following:
• Irrigate using ET table
• Using ET averaging
• Adjust allowable percentage of historical ET
• Use of Crop Coefficients
From the WEATHER SETUP screen (Figure 5.2):
1. Press the ET Menu key.
The DAILY ET SETUP screen is displayed
(Figure 5.21).

5E.1 Irrigate using ET table
A NO next to a program indicates the program is not
using ET. Once YES is selected for a program, any
station assigned to that program will use daily ET to
automatically adjust the amount of time the station
will run during its next irrigation.
1. Press the PLUS or MINUS keys to
change the setting.
Note: If the setting is changed to YES for a program,
