Over Flow Alert
 Indicates: More water is flowing through a valve than the overflow alert threshold for that zone.
 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 head is broken.
o A sprinkler line has a leak.
o A sprinkler valve is failing and is opening too much.
o Your threshold for over flow alerts is set too low. Increase the Overflow Threshold percentage in the Current Sensor Alert Settings panel on the
Controller page.
o The normal flow rate for the zone is set too low. To check your normal flow rate setting, go to the Zone page, select your zone and modify the
normal flow rate as needed in the Flow Sensor Options panel.
 How to clear alert and resume watering for the affected zone:
o Manually run the zone from either the controller or computer after the underlying cause has been addressed.
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 the next time Cyber-Rain waters if the flow remains above the maximum threshold.)
Under Flow Alert
 Indicates: Less water is flowing through a valve than the underflow alert threshold for that zone.
 Cyber-Rain response: Alert triggered but controller continues to water all zones.
 Potential causes of alert:
o A sprinkler valve is failing and not opening sufficiently.
o A sprinkler head or line is blocked.
o The sprinkler valve wire is not properly inserted in the valve harness.
o Your threshold for under flow alerts is set too low. Increase the Underflow Threshold in the Current Sensor Alert Settings panel on the Controller
page.
o The normal flow rate for the zone is set too high. To check your normal flow rate setting, go to the Zone page, select your zone and modify the
normal flow rate as needed in the Flow Sensor Options panel.
o Your Flow Sensor fill time is set too low, meaning your pipes have not completely filled when the flow sensor starts measuring the flow. Adjust
your Flow Sensor Fill Time in the Flow Sensor Settings panel on the Controller page.
 How to clear alert:
o This alert will automatically clear itself when the flow going through the valve returns to normal levels.
o Manually run the zone from either the controller or computer after the underlying cause has been addressed.
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 the next time Cyber-Rain waters if the flow remains below the minimum threshold.)
