Introduction to Programming
You need to program WeatherTRAK ET plus in order to create an
irrigation routine for each station at your site.
There are four PROGRAM modes you can select. They are:
• Fully Automated,
• User Programmed-With ET,
• User Program-NO ET and
•Off.
All programs are based on their assigned schedule watering days you
created in the A and B schedules. (Please see “Setting Schedules” on
page 26 for more information.)
The “Fully Automated” mode is the first (and recommended)
method of programming.
To ensure that water is applied in the proper amounts at the proper
time, WeatherTRAK ET plus asks you to enter information about the
specific conditions of each irrigation zone at your site.
Based on your input, the controller will automatically calculate the
correct irrigation program. Once activated, the controller will start
receiving daily ET Everywhere service updates and automatically
adjust the program every day in response to current local weather
conditions.
The controller will then water on the best days according to the
schedule you selected.
The other two methods of programming are “User Programmed--
With ET” and “User Programmed--NO ET.” These require you to
determine your own irrigation program of runtimes, the number of
cycles, minimum soak times and what days of the week to water,
hence the name “User Programmed.”
The “User Programmed--With ET” mode will still receive daily ET
Everywhere service updates and will adjust station runtimes
accordingly. You will initially set the controller’s base schedule for the
best program for that day’s current ET and then the daily ETs will
adjust runtimes accordingly.
