Control All Manual Irrigation from Redesigned Manual Operations Page
We’ve designed the manual operations page to give you quick access to the irrigation queue, settings, programs, events and diagnostics. In the manual operations page you can connect to satellite controllers and devices to monitor and control all manual irrigation from one location. You can view and manage these operations.
- Manage the irrigation queue
- View and change current settings
- Flow alarms monitoring and healing
- Start programs and/or stations
- Cancel all irrigation
- Advance selected station
- Review events for the controller
- Review and initiate diagnostics for the controller
- Monitor status of weather sensors and master valves
- Using special commands: i.e. downloading updated firmware to satellite controllers and viewing controller event logs
Under the manual operations tab you will see Irrigation Queue, Events and Diagnostics
Once IQ4 connects to the satellite controller and retrieves current settings you will be able to see the current status of these items:
Satellite
The satellite can be either Auto (automatic) or Off. If the satellite is Off, watering is suspended. It does not mean that there is no power to the device.
Rain Delay
The number of days remaining in a Rain Delay, as physically stored in satellite controller memory
Sensor Switch
This indicates the position of the Sensor Switch
Sensor
Indicates the current status of watering based on the status of the installed sensor. The values are either normal or watering suspended, along with the name of the sensor.
Mode
Current irrigation mode
FloWatch
FloManager
2-Wire Path (ESP-LXIVM/ESP-LXD only)
