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

6. About the LEIT RC2ET Environment Features
Introduction
Today, irrigation use can be optimized through the use of our weather based
irrigation control system developed for landscape irrigation. This can be
achieved by monitoring the soil, temperature, humidity, radiation, rainfall,
wind, and environmental conditions at the irrigation site. Both the plants water
requirements and the amount available to the plant roots can be measured or
estimated through a variety of techniques. These techniques include the feel
method, which is an estimate based on the user’s knowledge of the irrigation
site, the more accurate method of utilizing tensiometers, or the use of weather
sensors designed to monitor real time conditions including water demands
influenced by the local environment, the irrigation method and the plant types.
Water Requirements
To simplify the relationships between plants, water requirements and the
environment, the term evapotranspiration is often used. Originally established
for agriculture, where irrigation requirements are well documented,
evapotranspiration measures the loss of water for various crops planted by
farmers. Evapotranspiration takes into consideration the loss of water from the
plant surface, the evaporation of water from the soil and the water lost through
transpiration during a specific time period. Historical values for many crop
types have been recorded and are made available through agricultural extension
services.
Evapotranspiration (ET)
Several methods have been developed to estimate crop ET. Most methods
use weather data to provide an estimate of reference, or potential,
evapotranspiration (ETo). Often this estimate of reference is converted to
“actual” ET using a factor known as a crop coefficient (Kc). In landscape
irrigation, reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is established for well-watered turf
grass, however most landscape species do not have values established. The turf
and landscape industry’s managers and users are not equipped to measure the
plants’ water loss. The feel method is not practical due to the large variety of

environmental and management conditions. Due to this inability to effectively
measure and record water loss for landscape planting, formulas have been
developed using reference evapotranspiration, plant coefficients, microclimate
factors and landscape coefficients to estimate the water used. DIG’s weather
based irrigation controller system utilizes a version of these formulas as the
baseline for estimating water use.
The Importance of Soil Texture in Setting ET
Before programming the LEIT RC2-ET handset and using the new ET features
we recommend that the user read about soil texture. Knowing the soil type is
important in setting the proper configuration on the LEIT RC2-ET. Most users can
determine the soil type by reviewing the following:
A fine-textured soil is referred to as clay soil. Sandy soil is a coarse-textured soil.
Numerous soil properties are influenced by texture, including drainage, water-
holding capacity, aeration, susceptibility to erosion and organic matter content.
The soil texture determines the rate at which water drains through saturated
soil. Water moves more freely through sandy soils than it does through clay
soils. Once field capacity is reached, soil texture also influences how much
water is available to the plants. Clay soils have a greater water-holding capacity
than sandy soils. In addition, well-drained soils typically have good soil aeration
meaning that the soil contains air that is similar to atmospheric air, which is
conducive to healthy root growth, and thus, to healthy plants.
How to Determine Soil Texture and Type
• Sandysoil: Feels gritty and if formed into a ball when moist, falls apart
easily.
• Loamysoil: Feels somewhat gritty, retains water easily and is easy
to work with it. It has relatively even amounts of sand, silt, and clay. If
formed into a ball when moist, will hold its shape, yet still will break apart
easily when squeezed.
• Claysoil:Forms large, hard clods, and cracks form on the surface. Clay
soils feel sticky and are bendable when moist. A ribbon can be formed
when moist by pinching soil between fingers and thumb. A longer ribbon
formed before it breaks indicates a higher amount of clay.

Water Saving
Knowledge of the environment, plants water requirements, and the tools to
calculate how much water is available in the soil may help in reducing water
use by increasing irrigation efficiency. By viewing the soil as a reservoir for the
plant’s water, and calculating the daily water needs of the plant using various
factors and landscape coefficients, we can determine approximately how long
plants can survive on the water available in the soil. When the water in the soil
is close to depletion, a timed irrigation in the proper amount can refill the soil
profile, restarting the cycle.

evapotranspiration (ET). The result can be reviewed in the REPORTS MENU,
STATUS REPORT and HISTORY REPORT.
NOTE: The controller can receive information from more than one weather
station in the area if available.
7. How to Program and Activate ET
1. Setting and Activating ET:
Using the ET MONITOR feature in the ENVIRONMENT screen, the user can
enter detailed site information to each zone (valve #) and download this
information to the LEIT-2ET controller. The controller use the information
received from the handset and the weather station to adjust the daily irrigation
schedule. The effect on the daily scheduled irrigation programs based on
weather data collected can be reviewed in the REPORTS MENU and HISTORY
Report.
Activating ET: Using this feature the user enters detailed information for each
valve or site zone.
Follow theses steps to configure each zone setting conditions using the
handset ET MONITOR screens:
Step 1: Select plant stage of life (example: mature)
Step 2: Select soil type (example: clay)
Step 3: Select plant type (example: mix planting)
Step 4: Select plant density (example: 50-70%)
Step 5: Select percentage of slope (example: 0 to 4%)
Step 6: Select microclimate type (example: open space)
Step 7: Select irrigation method (example: spray)
Step 8: Select irrigation efficiency (example: 70%). This is the default
setting that can be changed.

About the LEIT RC2-ET Environment Features (LEIT-2ET only)
The ENVIRONMENT menu is used to activate and set the ET feature, adjust
budgets, and set wind and rain gauge sensors. The ET MONITOR screens are
used to input site information for each zone which is then downloaded to the
LEIT-2ET controller. With the ET data received from the weather station the LEIT-
2ET controller calculates the hourly and daily local microclimate and adjusts or
overrides the daily scheduled irrigation program.
ET Edit can be used to edit ET settings from 10% to 200%. The Budget feature is
used to reflect seasonal changes by adjusting each month’s irrigation schedule
by percentages from 10% to 200%. The Rain Gauge setting is used to select
rainfall amounts from 1/8” to 1” (3 mm to 25 mm). This data, coupled with
information provided by the weather station, will adjust or override the irrigation
program. Wind Speed information provided by the weather station overrides
irrigation when wind speeds ranging from 8 to 25 MPH (3.5 - 11.1 m/s) are
reached.
How DIG’s Weather Based System Works
As daily ET accumulates, ET value, along with site information and microclimate
coefficients are used to determine plant water requirements and allowable soil
depletion rate. System run time is set and based upon the irrigation method
along with application rate and site information water requirements. When ET is
active, this calculated run time replaces or overrides the program duration that
the user set originally.
In activating ET the user enters detailed information on each site zone to the
LEIT RC2ET handset. This information includes mature or new planting, soil
type, plant type, plant density, slope, microclimate type, irrigation method,
irrigation efficiency, flow rate and spacing if available. Based on the user
input and the information collected hourly from the weather station sensors,
the controller performs the daily calculations needed to override or adjust the
scheduled irrigation program specifically for each zone, to compensate for

* Default setting can be adjusted to any specific distribution uniformity.
NOTE: In the event an audit of the site soil condition cannot be performed
prior to initial setting of the LEIT ET System, we recommend soaking the soil
thoroughly to ensure the soil is wet as a reference point for the system from
which the LEIT-2ET starts calculating the site ET.
FINE-TUNING THE SYSTEM: We recommend monitoring both the plant
health and the soil moisture level on a weekly basis. If the plants are showing
signs of distress or the soil appears to be oversaturated, fine-tuning of the
system can be accomplished utilizing the ET Edit feature. The system can
be fine-tuned based on weather pattern, location and the ET zone setting.
Either an upward or downward adjustment in percent can be made to adjust
to the actual ET setting condition. Again, DIG strongly recommends a careful
monitoring of the site for the first month of operation.
2. Setting the controller to operate with the weather station and to
compensate for evapotranspiration (ET):
In the ENVIRONMENT Menu screen press and highlight ET MONITOR
icon. Press again and the next screen appears with the valves number.
Press , SELECT VALVE screen appears with valve 1 and 2. Press and
select a valve. Press to connect, when connected, CONNECTED appear
momentarily and then ET MONITOR screen appears with ET INACTIVE
blinking. Press to change INACTIVE to ACTIVE. Press and ET MONITOR
screen appears with NEW or MATURE blinking. Press or and select one
of the plants appearance option. Next, select the soil type. Press to select
SOIL TYPE. CLAY appears, blinking. Press or and select the soil type for
the indicated valve, (refer to ‘How to Determine Soil Texture’ on page 35).
After selecting the SOIL TYPE, press to move to the next screen and
repeat the steps for selecting PLANT TYPE and PLANT DENSITY. In PLANT
TYPE, select from MIX PLANTING to ANNUALS and in PLANT DENSITY
select from 10-30% to plant density of 70-100%. After selecting the setting
press again to move to the next screen and repeat the steps for selecting
MICROCLIMATE and SLOPE degrees. In MICROCLIMATE select from OPEN
SPACE to FULL SHADE and in SLOPE % select from 0%–4% to 13%–20%.
After selecting the setting press again to move to the next screen
and repeat the steps for selecting IRRIGATION METHOD and IRRIGATION
EFFICIENCY. Under IRRIGATION METHOD select from DRIP EMITTER to ROTOR
and in IRRIGATION EFFICIENCY the preset default setting can be changed
if needed. Press again to move to the last screen and repeat the steps,
selecting FLOW RATE and SPACING (if no information is available for the flow
and spacing, a PRESET setting is used). When finished, press to download
the new information. ARE YOU SURE? screen appear with YES. Press
again to download the information. The UPDATE SUCCESSFUL message
appears confirming that the controller accepted the new information and the
SELECT VALVE screen appears again. Repeat the steps for the second valve.
