The WeatherTRAK front panel has three types of menu buttons: 

  • Main menu buttons

  • Manage menu buttons

  • Program menu buttons. 


To scroll through all the sub-functions within a menu, use the  àand  àbuttons.  

To select choices for each sub-function, use the and  + and buttons. 

To display additional information in some sub-menus, press the * button. This button also allows you to make changes to controller keypad beeps and alert beeps.


Main Menu buttons are used most of the time for normal maintenance tasks and cause immediate action to occur.


RUN

This menu allows you to view the current operating status of the WeatherTRAK controller. Pressing the RUN button displays something similar to the following screen:

The current date and time are displayed, along with stations that are actively irrigating. The communication status of your controller is also visible here.

RAIN PAUSE

The Rain Pause menu lets you make programming changes to suspend irrigation for a specific number of days due to rain events in a range from 1 to 200 days.

The MANUAL TEST menu lets you manually start stations and perform valve and other diagnostic tests.
