9.5 Rain Shutdown
The Rain Shutdown is meant to delay irrigation programs when the amount of the
daily accumulated rain reaches the user defined limit. The Programs affected by the
Rain Delay will be those with priority less than 5.
Notice that:
When the Rain Delay left is manually set to a nonzero value, it will cause the
rain delay to be started right away.
Prior to using the Rain Shutdown option it must be enabled at the DEALERS
DEFINITIONS.
9.6 Frost protection
The Frost protection algorithm is taking into consideration the Current
temperature and Dew point for calculating at which temperature the frost
protection program should be started in order not to let the crop temperature drop
to the Critical temperature defined by the user. The Dew point is calculated based on
the ambient temperature and humidity. When the Frost protection program is
activated, all irrigation programs with priority lower than 6 will be halted.
The frost protection will stop
when the temperature rises above
the critical temp by this value
