Verification of Weather Computer Input
8.3.1 At the Evolution DX2 Controller
This procedure describes the steps necessary to verify the operation of
the Evolution DX2 Controller ET input. This process simulates the
incoming pulses from a Rain Master Weather Computer, displaying the
results on the Evolution DX2 controller ET display screen.
Step 1
Disconnect the two wires from the Sensor Terminal board
at terminals Input 2 ( + ) and Input 2 ( - ). Connect a short
wire (14 - 12 AWG) in each of the Input 2 terminals.

Press the QUIT key to return to the main display screen.
(This is necessary to allow the controller to update the ET
value information.)
Step 4
At the Sensor Terminal board, touch the two wires
together momentarily 2 or 3 times. (An ET reading of 0.01
inches should be recorded each time the wires make
contact.)
Step 5
Re-check the ET values on the Evolution DX2 Controller
ET display screen. Verify that the readings have increased
by 0.01 inches (1/100 inch) for each time the wires made
contact.
Step 6
This ends of ET Data Checkout procedure. If the ET value
does not increase each time the wires are shorted, check
the inter-connection cables, the required cables are noted
in Table 9 - Interconnect Cables.
