Water Window
The ET Manager Water Window needs to be synchro-
nized with the first sprinkler controller start time and
the length of all watering cycles. There are two Water
Windows used to manage the system:
• Automatic Window: The period of time that
the ET Manager controls watering cycles based
on ET.
• Daily Window: An optional period when
watering occurs as programmed in the sprin-
kler controller as non-ET based watering
schedules not controlled by the ET Manager.
During this period of time, watering will not be
controlled by the ET Manager.
To avoid overlapping between the Automatic and Daily
Windows, the ET Manager restricts at least one hour
separation between the beginning and ending of each
Water Window. If there is no Daily Window pro-
grammed, the Daily Window time range will be dis-
played as “Off.”
There are two steps to program the Automatic Window:
1. Program the
beginning of the
Automatic
Window. The
position of the
cursor will be at
Automatic Window. Press
À to move the
cursor to the opening time of the Automatic
Window. Use
Œ or Õ to set the opening time,
synchronized to the first start time pro-
grammed in the sprinkler controller.
2. Press
À to pro-
gram the end of
the Automatic
Window. Use
Œ
or Õ to set the
length of time for
the Automatic Window. The Automatic
Window should be the total length of time it
takes to complete all watering cycles. When fin-
ished, press
à twice to exit from the
Automatic Window.
The steps to programming the Daily Window are simi-
lar to programming the Automatic Window.
Note: If you do not want
to program a Daily
Window, set your start
time and ending time to
the same hour, and OFF
will appear under the
Daily Window.
Note: The display changes from the closing time to a
length of time when programming the Water Window
settings. For example, if the Automatic Window is set
