dialog box
A message box that is displayed in the Maxicom
2
software user interface. A dialog box asks the user to
select certain options or answer questions before a
requested function can proceed.
elevation
The height above or below sea level at which the
weather station is located.
ET (evapotranspiration)
Usage of water by plant material combined with
evaporation of water from the soil surface.
ET (evapotranspiration) adjustment factor
The amount an irrigation schedule is adjusted,
measured in inches per hour, based on a determined
ET rate.
ET (evapotranspiration) gauge
An ET weather source directly connected to the CCU.
ET (evapotranspiration) rate
The amount of water used by the plant material in a
landscape plus the amount of water evaporated from
the soil surface. This value is calculated by the
computer with information from a weather station or
entered into the system manually. ET rate is used to
calculate watering times and amounts.
ET (evapotranspiration) sensitized
State of a schedule that is modified automatically
based on ET value. An ET-sensitized schedule does
not use the water budget feature.
ET (evapotranspiration) source
A type of weather source that collects data useful in
calculating and storing ET values.
event
Actions to or by Maxicom

.
event log
A list of all actions to or by Maxicom

FLO-MANAGER
A Maxicom
2
feature that allows the computer to
calculate the optimum sequence for each station on a
CCU, based on the hydraulic capacity of the system.
FLO WATCH
A Maxicom
2
feature that causes the computer to
instruct the CCU to watch for flow problems while
schedules are running at the CCU.
flow rate
The rate at which water is used by the system.
flow zone
Specified portions of an irrigation system’s main line
system grouped by valves and monitored by a flow
sensor. All valves designated in a flow zone must be
downstream of the flow sensor that is monitoring the
flow zone.
flow/time/cost
The relationship between the rate of flow, the amount
of time, and the water cost.
FREEDOM System
A system that sends Maxicom
2
commands from a
remote location via a touch-tone phone or radio to
your personal computer.
GPM
Gallons per minute.
historical data
Data gathered over the years as a benchmark.
irrigation period
The period of time between one Send Schedules to
CCU contact and the next.
landscape coefficient
See crop coefficient.
