Optional Weather Reach control methods:
ET-Pulse – The Weather Reach Receiver creates a switch
contact for every 0.01" of ET for compatible ET-based
irrigation controllers.
Rain-Pulse - The Weather Reach Receiver creates a switch
contact for every 0.01" of rain measured at the weather
station for compatible irrigation controllers.
ET- Trigger – When an ET threshold is reached; the Weather
Reach Receiver creates a switch contact to signal a compatible
irrigation controller that irrigation is needed.
RS-232 – ET and weather data can be directly accessed from
the Weather Reach Receiver serial port by compatible irrigation
controllers.
Rainfall
Rainfall measurements are available from two sources:
• Local weather station – Rainfall data is included in
the weather broadcast.
• On-site – Connect a tipping bucket rain gauge directly
to the Weather Reach Receiver.
Weather Interrupt
The Weather Reach Receiver can also suspend irrigation.
Three interrupt conditions may be programmed.
• Low temperature
• High wind speed
• Rainfall amount
