Features

  • Rugged stainless steal Replacement Panels available as an 8, 16, 24, or 32 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.
