Calsense
for some stations but not others. For irrigation systems where multiple controllers share one or more
pumps, the FLOWSENSE option (model -FL) should be used.
For information about Sharing Points of Connections
, see page 23.
Light, Gate, and Water Features
The ET2000e Irrigation Controller provides an optional lights feature (model -L), which is used to operate
up to four light, gate, or water feature relays.
For more information about lights, see Lights (model -L)
on page 69.
Central Control
The ET2000e Irrigation Controller supports central communications through two optional central
software packages. The Calsense Command Center Central Water Management Software (model COMM-
1), purchased separately, is a fully-featured central software package installed on a computer with the
Microsoft® Windows® operating system. This software provides communication using a variety of
options, including Ethernet, wireless Ethernet (Wi-Fi), cellular modem (GPRS), and analog phone
modem.
The Command Center for the Web service provides fundamental central control from any web-accessible
computer without the need to purchase the Command Center Central Water Management Software.
However, the web-based service is only compatible with ET2000e controllers using the GPRS
communication option (model -GR).
Both packages allow the user to monitor and program their controllers, as well as run various water
usage reports from their office. Weather data collected from an ET Gage, Tipping Rain Bucket, Campbell
Scientific Weather Station, or WEATHERSENSE can also be shared to any controller on the system.
