start whenever the plants in a zone are threatened.
The default setting is WiltGard = Off.
To enable WiltGard, use the
arrow keys to advance to the OFF position, and use the +/- keys to
change the setting to ON.
If WiltGard is ON, watering may start without warning at unexpected
times of day. Do not enable WiltGard if this creates a hazardous or
inconvenient condition!
The actual Wilt Runtime cannot be set from this screen, and is only
shown for information. WiltGard’s run time is created automatically,
based on the settings for each specific zone. WiltGard will base its
“emergency” run time on 50% of the MAD (Management Allowable
Depletion)
The WiltGard watering is tracked for ET purposes, and a portion of
it will count against the daily ET (in other words, it will be deducted
from the scheduled irrigation at the automatic start time).
The WiltGard Off/On setting applies to all zones. However, WiltGard
will only start zones whose plants are in danger of damage (based on
the plant and soil settings for the individual zones).
When the Start Time and WiltGard settings are correct, turn the dial
to save the settings. For initial setup, turn the dial to the Rain Setting
position. WiltGard is automatically turned OFF if the No Water Time
feature is used.
Non Water Windows
ET System allows you to set legal watering days and a Start Time.
Non Water Windows allow you to block out periods of each day during
which watering is forbidden, by local watering restrictions.
Unfinished watering can resume after the end of the non water win-
dow, but the system can also be set to prevent watering past midnight
(into a non water day) or at any other Day End you choose to set.
To Set the Non-Water Window:
Turn the dial to the Start Times position.
Set the Start Time normally with + and – buttons.
Use the arrow buttons to move to the No Water Time position.
START: 03:00AM
NO WATER TIME: OFF
WILTGARD: OFF
DAY END: 12:00AM
DAY END STOP?: NO
Use the + or – buttons to change OFF to the time of day that starts
the No Water Time. Make sure the AM/PM selections are correct.
Use the arrow buttons to move to the No Water End, and use the + or
– buttons to set a No Water End time (Default is 8:00PM). This will
allow unfinished watering to resume where it left off.
This will automatically set the WiltGard feature to OFF. WiltGard can-
not be used with No Water Times.
START: 03:00AM
NO WATER TIME: 08:00AM
NO WATER END:08:00PM
DAY END: 12:00AM
DAY END STOP?: NO
When the No Water Time is set, ET System will automatically pause
watering (wherever it is in the zones and cycles) at the No Water Time.
Whenever a No Water Time pauses during active irrigation, a status
message will appear to indicate that there are still unfinished watering
events being held during the pause.
