ET-8 Series - Wall Mount

Overview

Aqua Conserve introduces the ultimate landscape irrigation controller, featuring an intuitive programming interface, advanced features, daily smart operation using real-time weather data backed by Aqua Conserve’s proven historic/temperature (stand-alone mode), and Internet feedback & control technologies. Let us help you save water!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Features

  • Rugged stainless steal Wall Mount or Pedestal enclosures. Wall Mount unit is available as an 8, 16, 24, or 32 station. The Pedestal is available as an 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, or 48 station.
  • Modifies scheduled watering times to coincide with the landscape plant water use demands.
  • Optional modem enables programming of all controller features as well as viewing irrigation history at any time of the day using your web browser. This feature does not require a dedicated telephone line.
  • Real-time ET data from a local weather station is received over the Internet using the optional modem (modem shares an existing telephone line).
  • If Internet data is unavailable or disrupted, controller utilizes Aqua Conserve’s proven historic/temperature-based adjustments.
  • Provides for a familiar programming interface. Programming options include odd/even, skip-days, or weekly based. Station run-times program up to 240 minutes each. The four programs may be stacked or overlapping.
  • The ET-8 Series controller, operating on historic/temperature data, has obtained SWAT approval.
  • Measures and displays the electrical current draw of each active station. Common electrical problems, such as electrical shorts or open circuits, are easily identified. The unit is protected against over-current and other electrical anomalies.
  • Each station may be programmed to irrigate in an on/off pattern (cycle/soak) to prevent run-offs.
  • The Establishment feature allows the scheduling of additional watering for a specified period of time to establish new plant material.
  • With the addition of a flow meter, system flow limits, such as station high/low flow, as well as main break levels, may be set. When activated, controller will monitor flow and skip the current station when flow limit is exceeded.
  • The Accumulate feature, when activated, skips scheduled watering days during the cool months if run-times are too low to be of benefit to the landscape.
  • 24 VAC, 50/60 Hz @ 1.6 Amps transformer output: simultaneously drives 6 typical irrigation solenoids.
