Central Alarms

Central Alarms report if there is a download/upload failure from Central due to a communication failure with the controller, a polling failure to the controller which determines if there are any broken or shorted field station wiring, flow violations, power outages, etc., reports if the controller is offline, if there is an issue with establishing port connection and various other failures.

Controller Alarms

Controller Alarms reports failures that occur while running a station like the station current or flow being either high or low which might stop the station from running, reports if the rain or wind limits were exceeded in which case all controllers for the associated microclimate will be placed into the appropriate shutdown mode, reports if the flow sensor records unexpected flow which will stop all future scheduled irrigation until the alarm has been cleared at the controller and other alarms.

Weather Alarms

Weather Alarms informs you if there was any failure in obtaining the ET value during ET acquisition, or if the controller could not be placed either in or removed from shutdown mode due to a communication failure. It also informs you when the rain/wind limits have exceeded which will cause the controllers to go into shutdown mode.
