® SECTION 6 REPORTSm akingsince 1986water work2. Reports / ET & Rain table (Rain)The Rain Table (Figure 6.6) is where the controllerstores rainfall numbers (measured in inches). Thenumbers in this table can be generated from thefollowing sources:o Automatically generated from a RainBucket wired to the controller.o Automatically generated from CampbellScientific weather station.o Automatically shared from anothercontroller connected to a Rain Bucketusing Calsense Command Centersoftware. (Controllers must havecommunication capabilities to sharerain).o – Original This value is zero (no usable rain), ithas no effect on irrigation run times.m – Below minimum The below minimum value ismeasured rain but it is not enough to offset irrigationrun times.r – usable rain This value is rain that is used tooffset irrigation run times.s – Shutdown This means that irrigation wasstopped due to rain polling being shared with thiscontroller.The usable rain in the Rain Table is used to reduceeach stations irrigation run times determined by theprecipitation rate. Usable rain in the Rain Table isdetermined by settings programmed at the RainBucket setup screen at the controller. Whenscheduled irrigation is set to occur, the controller willuse up the usable rain first by the amount of timescheduled to irrigate for each station. Until theusable rain is used up, there will be no irrigation.This will continue until all of the rain is used up atwhich time the irrigation will start again.(Table: 0 Reports: 0): These two values appear in(Figure 6.6) and are defined as follows:• Table: Shows the amount of usable rainpulses recorded during a one hour period, inthe controller, that will be applied toirrigation.• Reports: Shows the amount of total rain,recorded by the controller, during a one hourperiod.Note: The number in the upper right hand corner ofthe screen (Represented by a 3 in Figure 6.6) is thetotal recorded ET gage pulses in the last 24 hours.THIS CONCLUDES THE ET & RAIN TABLESSECTIONE. ALERTSAlerts are a chronological listing of each individualevent that has taken place, or changes that havebeen made to the controller.
