· Saves water and electricity, while keeping the course drier and more playable, by pausing, adjusting or canceling irrigation in the event of rainfall.
· Results in reduced wear and tear on irrigation system components.
HOW RAIN WATCH MANAGES RAINFALL
· Stationed throughout the course, up to four (4) high-resolution Rain Watch rain cans collect rainfall data.
· Each irrigation program can be set to react to any one of the available rain cans.
· The central control system continuously polls each rain can.
· Rainfall data received by the system is used to make intelligent decisions based on user-defined responses.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Superior ET Model. Rain Bird Central Control systems use weather sensor input to determine ET rates based upon a field-proven proprietary equation for ET.
Automatic ET Download/Selective Usage. Automatically download weather data daily and calculate ET to determine irrigation times for the entire system or by specific areas, holes or stations.
ET Override. Allows you to easily set certain programs to ignore ET values when determining run times.
Rain Bucket. Allows rainfall from one day to be carried over to the following day(s) for more accurate ET calculations.
Multiple Station Capacity. Connect up to five (5) weather stations to one central control system for more precise ET values based upon different weather conditions and micro climates around the golf course.
Max Rainfall. User-defined maximum rainfall can be set to limit the amount of acceptable rainfall for specific soil types or other areas that are subject to high run-off.
Weather Data Reports. Generate reports to show current or past weather conditions by the hour, day, week, month or year. Along with Rain Bird’s Smart Weather Software, it supports alarms when thresholds are exceeded in: rain, high or low ambient temperatures, high winds or rainfall intensity.
When any of these alarms exceed user-defined thresholds in a programmed time period, the system will initiate an alarm condition. The alarms will automatically reset when temperature, rain or wind conditions are again within acceptable ranges for irrigation.
Automatic Shut Off/Turn On and Pause/Resume. Rain Bird Central Control systems automatically shut OFF or suspend irrigation operation for the entire system or in specific areas of the course (tee box, fairway, green, etc.) when alarm conditions are detected at the weather station. They also automatically turn ON or resume irrigation when weather conditions return to the acceptable range for irrigation.
Automatic Notification. Using Rain Bird® MessengerTM, it can automatically notify you wherever you are — at the central control, via text messaging or e-mail — when alarm conditions exist.
