A. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing DIG’s LEIT RC2ET weather based handset, which
operates as a part of the LEIT-2ET wireless irrigation system. This manual
describes how to get the LEIT RC2ET weather based handset up and running
quickly. After reading this manual and familiarizing yourself with the basic
functions of the handset, you can then reserve the manual to use as a
reference for specific, less common tasks in the future.
B. About the DIG LEIT-2ET
Weather Based Irrigation System
The LEIT-2ET weather based wireless irrigation control system comprises
of the LEIT-2ET weather based two-station ambient light (solar) powered
irrigation controller with a rain sensor connection, the LEIT RC2ET handset,
and the LEIT WWS or LEIT WWSE ambient light (solar) powered weather
stations.
The LEIT RC2ET handset is an advanced and cost effective wireless device
that is used to communicate with up to 99 LEIT-2ET solar powered controllers,
operating up to 198 valves, from a distance of up to 350 feet (100 m) line of
sight. The LEIT RC2ET handset has a large LCD display and sophisticated,
intuitive, icon-based software. Site information entered into the LEIT RC2ET
handset is downloaded to the LEIT-2ET controller, and with hourly data
received from the LEIT WWS or LEIT WWSE wireless solar powered weather
stations, the LEIT-2ET controller calculates the daily local microclimate
evapotranspiration (ET). The final result is used for a daily adjustment or
override of the current scheduled irrigation program.
All LEIT-2ET controller functions are controlled and reviewed by the LEIT RC2ET
handset. After installation, no further visits to the controller are required.
IMPORTANT: Communication between the LEIT RC2ET handset, the LEIT-2ET
controllers, and the LEIT WWS or LEIT WWSE weather station is automatically
limited to daylight hours when there is sufficient light energy. Longer bright
light days will enable the user to communicate over longer parts of the day.

E. LEIT RC2ET Features
The LEIT RC2ET remote control handset is used to communicate with LEIT-
2ET weather based, wireless irrigation controllers. The user can program the
handset with daily scheduled irrigation programs and detailed information
on the site zone, such as; planting, soil type, planting type, plants density,
percentage of slope, microclimate, irrigation method, irrigation efficiency,
flow rate and spacing used. This information is downloaded to the LEIT-2ET
controller, which uses it to determine the plants water loss and the total
irrigation rate per day needed. With this information along with other factors,
including depth of irrigation, allowable depletion and basic intake rate, the
LEIT-2ET controller calculates system or zone run time with number of cycles
per day. This calculated run time replaces or overrides the program duration
that the user set originally. The controller performs the daily calculations
needed at midnight to override or adjust the scheduled irrigation program
specifically for each zone, to compensate for evapotranspiration (ET). This
information can be reviewed in the Report Menu.
• ET setting can be input to each valve when ET Setup is changed to active
• Sensitivity of the ET setting can be optimized using the editing feature
without changing any of the ET settings
• Wind Stop setting can be programmed to shut off the system at wind speed
from eight (8) to twenty-five (25) miles per hour (12.9-40 Km/h)
• The Rain Off feature can be accessed either via the weather station in a range
of 1/8” to 1” (3 mm to 25 mm), or via a rain sensor
• ET features can be overridden at any time
• Report Menu screen provides various function information on the controller
operation and program. Current Status report provides controller time and
date, station open or short circuit, controller power level, any feature or
device activity, alerts, if ET is active, sensor(s) information and the average
for 24 hour ET. Program Status report provides controller program changes
made along with the handset ID that made the changes. History report
provides total run time, total rain amount, and ET saved in both time and
percent, for the last two (2) months
