ET Manager Series - Installation and Operation Manual 12

Wire Connection Guidelines

• Strip approximately

⁄4” insulation off the ends

of wires connected to the ET Manager, and

strip insulation off the ends of other wires as

needed.

• Use an appropriate screwdriver for all mount-

ing.

• Use a thin blade screwdriver for all ET Manager

wire terminal connections.

• Use appropriate screwdriver for all wire con-

nections to sprinkler controller.

• Use proper wire gauges, 14-26 AWG for termi-

nal connections, and 10-18 AWG for

grounding.

• Use proper wire ties.

• Verify each wire connection is secure.

• Use a Volt-Ohm meter to test and verify com-

mon wires and power source voltage.

WARNING: To prevent electrical shock make sure the

power supply is OFF before connecting wires to any of

the devices. Electrical shock can cause severe injury or

death.

Grounding

Connect a 10, 12, 14 or 18-gauge ground wire to earth

ground. Strip approximately 1/4" insulation from the

end of the ground wire and connect to the ET Manager

ground connection using a thin blade screwdriver. Give

the wire a gentle tug to verify it is secure.

GROUNDING IS ESSENTIAL for electrical surge pro-

tection and personal protection.

Note: 10 AWG is preferred for grounding your ET

Manager.

Power

WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, damage to the

ET Manager, or damage to your sprinkler controller,

make sure the power supply is OFF before connecting

wires to any of the devices. Electrical shock can cause

severe injury or death.

All electrical connections and wire runs must be made

in accordance with local building codes.

The power requirement is 12 to 30-volts AC or 12 to 35-

volts DC and draws a maximum 0.22 (0.2) Amp max.

Power for the ET Manager can come from one of two

sources:

Power Option 1

The ET Manager can be connected to a 24-volt AC

source within the sprinkler controller. The current

draw is 0.22 (0.2) Amps (less than one standard valve

solenoid). Check the sprinkler controller owner’s man-

ual to verify that accessory devices can be powered

from the sprinkler controller power supply.

Connect a 14 or 18 AWG wire to the sprinkler controller

24-volt AC power supply. Strip approximately

⁄4" insu-

lation from the ends of the power wires. Using a thin

blade screwdriver, connect the wires to the ET Manager

power terminals labeled “24 VAC.” Give the wires a gen-

tle tug to verify they are secure.

Power Option 2

Use a Rain Bird ETMi 120-volt AC Plug-in Transformer

635640 (Model ETMi-TRAN). Using a thin blade screw-

driver, attach the two orange wire ends of the trans-

former to the 24-volt AC wire terminals on the ET

Manager wire terminal strip. If an adequate ground is

not connected, as described above, attach the green

ground wire, to the ET Manager ground connection

using a thin blade screwdriver. Give the wires a gentle

tug to verify they are secure. Plug power supply into a

120-volt AC outlet.
