6.0 Advanced Menu
6.3 Review
Turn dial to Advanced Menu. Push NEXT button to access review
functions. Use UP/DOWN buttons to select review functions you
wish to view.
6.3.1 Temp Data
TEMPDATA provides the daily high/low temperature readings
in Fahrenheit (Celsius for 230V applications) from the SLW
Weather Sensor for the past 5 days. Press NEXT to view daily
high and low readings for the prior day. Continue pressing NEXT
to view up to 5 days of temperature history.
6.3.2 Next Run
NEXT RUN is the total amount of run time SMART has calculated
for each zone based on ET deficits and SMART system audit
information entered on the SMART side of the dial. NEXT RUN
is calculated and revised each night at midnight 365 days per
year. The cumulative run time will carry forward until the next
scheduled watering cycle. NEXT RUN times will return to zero
after each watering cycle. To review NEXT RUN, turn the dial
to Advanced Menu. Use the UP arrow button to access Review
and then use the NEXT and BACK buttons to scroll through the
zones.
6.3.3 Smart Watering Run/Soak Review
This feature allows the user to review expected Run/Soak
schedules that will occur when the controller is in the SMART
mode. Turn the dial to Advanced Menu. Use the UP button to
go to REVIEW and press the NEXT button. Use the UP button
to advance to RUN/SOAK. Press the NEXT button and zone 01
will show in the display. Press NEXT again and RUN with a time
will show. This is the maximum RUN time the controller can do
in SMART before going to SOAK. Press NEXT again and SOAK
will show in the display with a time. This is the minimum time the
zone must soak before it is ready to run again. SMART Run/Soak
times can be changed by adjusting the soil and slope settings
at SOIL TYPE on the programming dial. The times are also
aected by adjusting the SPRINKLER TYPE setting on the dial
for precipitation rate.
6.3.4 Deficit
Deficit is the amount of water (displayed in inches) that needs
to be replaced for your plant material due to water loss through
evapotranspiration – evaporation from soil and transpiration
from plants. Your SmartLine® controller will calculate the water
deficit each day at 11:50 pm based on data communicated to
it by the SLW series Weather Sensor. The water deficit will
continue to accumulate until the next scheduled watering cycle
and will return to a zero reading when watering is finished. The
SmartLine controller uses an internationally recognized formula
called the Hargreaves formula for calculating evapotranspiration.
During a rain event, deficits will decrease to zero. SmartLine
will not begin calculating deficits and run times again until the
ACTIVE LED goes back to green after the SLW DLY.
