ET Manager Series - Installation and Operation Manual 13
Wiring Diagrams
The most common Output Method for the ET Manager
is to interrupt the valve common output of a sprinkler
controller until watering is needed. This is referred to
as the “Enable” Output Method. The ET Manager can
support two Valve Groups, A and B. The valve common
from the sprinkler controller is wired into the ET
Manager and the Valve Groups A and B common wires
run from the ET Manager to the sprinkler control
valves. A separate common wire is required for each
valve group. See Figure 7 for the Enable Output
Method wiring diagram.
Note: The wiring diagrams for advanced Output
Methods are included in chapter 8.
Optional Rain Gauge
Rain measurements are provided from the remote
weather station operated by the WRSP. If site-specific
rainfall measurements are desired, mount the optional
on-site tipping rain gauge (Model ETM-RG). The
optional rain gauge will be used by the ET Manager in
place of the weather station rain information.
A local on-site rain gauge can be connected to the ET
Manager. The rain gauge must be a tipping gauge with
an output measurement at either 0.01" or 1.0 mm per
tip. The on-site rainfall value can be used in place of
the rainfall value broadcast in the weather signal to
provide actual on-site rain data.
The Tipping Rain Gauge (Model ETM-RG) is an option-
al rain gauge available from Rain Bird for use with the
ET Manager. The rain gauge contacts can be either
normally open or normally closed.
