 It is a good idea to write down the zone names from the controller before resetting it. This information will be useful when re-entering the zone

information. Use the RIGHT and LEFT arrows on the controller to cycle through each zone, and write down each zone’s name.

 Reset the controller by simultaneously pressing the RIGHT and LEFT buttons on the controller. (Note: All settings on the controller will be erased and

a schedule needs to be saved to your controller before it will start irrigating again.)

 Install the Cyber-Rain software on your new computer or hard drive.

 Your new installation of the Cyber-Rain software should now be able to recognize your controller.

Zone Too Wet or Too Dry

The Cyber-Rain Smart Irrigation System is designed to adjust zone watering depending on the weather of the area that the controller is installed. Weather

information is downloaded from the internet periodically when the software has access to the internet and the controller. If that connection is lost, the

controller reverts to historical weather averages to determine the percentage of the zone interval to run. If your weather has been unusually hot or cold and

Cyber-Rain has not had access to the internet, weather adjustments may be inaccurate.

If the Smart Scheduling Wizard is run, irrigation times are determined on averages based on the information provided and historical weather data for the zip

code provided in the wizard. We strongly suggest monitoring your landscape after running the Smart Scheduling Wizard as irrigation times may need to be

adjusted up or down. The baseline schedule, displayed in the schedule tab, should be adjusted if your irrigation system is functioning properly but a zone or

zones are too moist or dry. If your landscape seems too moist and appears to be overwatering, reduce the number of minutes in your baseline schedule on the

schedule tab. If your landscape appears too dry, increase the number of minutes in your baseline schedule. Watering times can be edited by selecting the day

and zone you’d like to change and inputting new times.

In the event that Cyber-Rain is shutting off for rain too frequently or not enough, the rain settings may need to be adjusted to calibrate for the chance of

precipitation in your area.

By default, a 55% or greater chance of rain will trigger a rain hold within Cyber-Rain and not irrigate the landscape. If you would like Cyber-Rain to trigger a rain

hold at a higher/lower chance of precipitation, complete the following:
