Owner's Manual

Four status screens can be opened from the Master Control Panel for any field unit. These are the Alarm Status, Output
Status, Program Status, and Station Days Off.
NOTE: The Output Status window will launch when Send is clicked on the Master Control Panel.
Similar to the unit code label in each window of the Master Control
Panel, the Alarms button will be color-coded with green, yellow or red,
depending on the alarm status received. If an alarm was received during
any communication from any of these screens, it will turn red. Yellow
indicates shutdown for a Rain day. Green is the normal state.
If the Receive button is clicked, Sentinel will read the states of the Flow,
Current, Power Failure, Missed Start and Mapped Unit Comm Alarms
for every station of the unit including the master valve. Any alarm will
result in an X in the corresponding box on the screen. The Power Failure
Alarm is received every time the field unit loses power, which may include
the initial set up of the entire system. In the event of a power failure, the
field unit records the time the power failed and the time it was restored.
To clear the alarms in the field unit, click each checked box to remove the X, then click the Send button. The red labels will
not revert to green until the Master Control Panel is re-opened.
The status of each field unit output station is represented graphically on the Master Control Panel. Each station is
represented by a small numbered, blue text box. It is initially located in the upper left corner. These symbols or icons can be
arranged automatically by clicking Unlock and Arrange. If you have displayed a picture or map on the Master Control Panel
as described in Chapter 4, you can arrange the icons within the image to represent their actual locations in the field. Select
Lock to save the positions of the icons.
NOTE: You might only see one icon during the initial view before arranging the icons. This is because the icons are stacked
on top of each other as a default arrangement. Clicking Un-Lock and Arrange will organize all the icons in rows and columns
for full view.
To relocate the icon, you must first select Un-Lock. Click on the icon and then click at the desired spot where the icon should
be positioned. Dragging the icon will not work. Proceed to locate all of the icons as necessary. When finished, select Lock to
save the icon positions.
Double clicking a station number will select it for manual activation, and it will blink yellow to confirm selection. Double
clicking the station again will deselect it. Program activated stations will blink green and cannot be deactivated from this
window.
