o Outside air temperature is close to 32 degrees.
 How to clear alert:
o This alert will automatically clear itself when the controller temperature returns to the normal range.
o Manually clear the alert by pressing Clear Alerts under the stoplight in the Controller Status panel on the Controller page. (Note: The alert will
return if the temperature continues to be too low.)
Current Alerts
Current Alerts are triggered when the current running through the sprinkler valves is too high or low. The default settings for alerts are set wide to avoid
unwanted alerts, but can easily be adjusted on the Controller page in the Current Sensor Alert Settings panel. To activate low current alerts, set an under current
threshold above 0 and safely below the typical current levels going through your valves. You can read your existing current levels by manually running a few
zones and watching the current gauge in the Controller Status panel on the Controller page. An under current threshold of 150 milliamps is generally appropriate
in most residential settings. The default for an over current alert is 750 milliamps, which should be suitable for the majority of installations. Note that Cyber-Rain
will stop watering the zone when a high current alert has been tripped, so the threshold should be set with care.
Potential current alerts are:
Current Hold Alert
 Indicates: Current going through valves is above the maximum threshold when all sprinklers are OFF.
 Cyber-Rain response: An alert is triggered and THE CONTROLLER WILL NOT WATER ANY ZONES until the alert is cleared.
 Potential causes of alert:
o Over Current Threshold is set too low. Check to make sure that the threshold (found in the Current Sensor Alert Settings panel on the Controller
page) is set to a value sufficiently higher than the typical zone current.
o Electrical short in the wiring. Check to make sure there is no short in the zone wiring using an ohm meter. The resistance should be at least 20
ohms.
o If you observe a Current Hold Alert when no zone is running please call Tech Support at 877-888-1452, or email us at [e-mail].
The controller may be malfunctioning.
 How to clear alert and resume watering:
o This alert will automatically clear itself when the current going through the valves returns to normal levels.
o Manually clear the alert by pressing Clear Alerts under the stoplight in the Controller Status panel on the Controller page. (Note: The alert will
return if the current remains above the maximum threshold.)
Over Current Alert
 Indicates: Current going through a valve is above the maximum threshold when that ZONE is running.
 Cyber-Rain response: Alert triggered and THE CONTROLLER WILL NOT WATER THE AFFECTED ZONE until the alert is cleared.
 Potential causes of alert:
o A sprinkler valve is failing and opening too much.
