[. . . ] Operation and settings of the Rain function are essentially identical to the ones described in Item 9 above. Therefore a short description of the minor differences in regards to Item 9 will be a sufficient enough explanation. · Since it is not necessary to display minimum rain values, the menu does not offer the item MIN but MAX only to display the various maximum rain amounts. Since no minimum rain values are stored, upon activating the ALARM, the display will immediately proceed to the high alarm setting as described in section 9 above. · 18 Note: The alarm option is only offered during display of the last hour and last 24-hour rainfall amounts. No exact definition of alarm time is possible for weekly and monthly rain amounts; therefore these alarm functions have been omitted. · When touching the TOTAL field in the RAIN section, the total rain amount accumulated since the last deletion is displayed. This can be erased by touching RAIN TOTAL in the bottom section of the LCD, followed by CONFIRM.
