Station Data Setup
The Station Data function menu consists of several station setup
parameters required for automatic operation.
Four station operating mode options provide the control flexability to
program each station for optimum irrigation control.
The station operating mode selections are:
• Automated by WeatherTRAK
• User - With ET (user-defined setup parameters with ET control)
• User - No ET (user-defined setup parameters without ET control)
• Off (station disabled)
Within each operating mode are the following required setup
parameters:
Automated By WeatherTRAK:
• Select Station
• Select Station Mode
• Select Program
• Water Window option
• Usable Rainfall
• Sprinkler Type
• Precipitation Rate*
• Sprinkler Efficiency*
• Soil Type
• Plant Type
• Root Depth*
• Microclimate
• Slope Factor
• Sprinkler Location (on slope)
As you can see by the extent of these lists, many factors are required
to formulate an accurate baseline watering schedule. To simplify
this procedure, Intelli-Sense will select default values based on your entries.
You can adjust these values if needed. The items listed with an asterisk (*) will
have default values based on the selection made in preceding setup parameter.
Note: To begin the setup process, select Automated by WeatherTRAK
mode on page 24, or User-defined modes starting on page 33.
User Defined:
• Select Station
