Group Number – This is a code number provided by the ET Everywhere service to the Intelli-Sense controller at the time of activation. The link enables the ET Everywhere service to communicate conditions relative to controllers in locations where irrigation regulation programs are in effect. This code will only be assigned if the user is a participant in the program.

High ET Start Time – In the event of a very high ET rate, the controller will try to irrigate enough to satisfy the plants’ needs. If the controller cannot accomplish this within the allotted water window time frame, an additional irrigation start time will be initiated to fulfill the watering requirements. The High ET Start Time is when the additional watering cycle start can occur.

Maximum Active Stations – This number represents the actual number of functional stations. For example, if 10 stations have valves connect- ed, but two stations are for future system use and are currently non- functional, the maximum active station number would be eight. Selecting a higher number of stations than actually used can cause the Water Window duration to be exceeded, resulting in false condition alerts. Setting a lower number than actual will prevent some of the stations from operating.

Maximum Backup ET Value – This value is the highest ET rate expected for the year based on geographic and average weather conditions. Backup ET is a fail-safe measure used only if the daily ET Everywhere service data transmission has not been received for four consecutive days. The Backup ET value will be automatically adjusted to compensate for the current calendar month in which the interruption occurs.

Microzone Number – This value is transmitted by the ET Everywhere service at the time of activation to establish specific latitude and longi- tude coordinates. This process enables the ET Everywhere service to provide localized ET/weather data.

Phase Integrity Data – This reference value is used exclusively by the ET Everywhere service to determine the broadcast integrity or signal strength of three wireless network communication carriers used to broadcast the ET Everywhere service data. The highest displayed signal phase value is used for initial service activation.
