ET Manager Series - Installation and Operation Manual 23

Note: A Historical ET database is available in your Rain

Bird ET Manager Scheduler program found on the pro-

vided CD.

Weather Interrupt

Main Menu Settings Weather Interrupt

Your ET Manager receives current weather information

from the local weather station. The ET Manager can be

programmed to interrupt watering in the event an

adverse weather condition occurs. There are four “sen-

sor interrupt” conditions that may be programmed:

• Low Air Temperature

• High Wind

• Rain 24 Hour

• Rain 1 Hour

To program a Weather Interrupt setting, from the

Settings screen, press

À when the cursor location is

at Weather Interrupt. Use

Œ or Õ to move the cursor

location in front of each Weather Interrupt, and press

À. Use Œ or Õ to adjust the interrupt value, and

press

Ã to move the cursor back to the list of

interrupts.

Low Air Temperature

If the hourly weather signal contains air temperatures

that reach the Temperature Interrupt setting, watering is

interrupted. The Weather Interrupt is cancelled once the

air temperature rises above the programmed interrupt

setting received in the hourly weather signal. This inter-

rupt will prevent watering during freezing conditions.

High Wind

If the hourly weather signal contains wind speeds that

reach the Wind Interrupt setting, watering is interrupt-

ed. The Weather Interrupt is cancelled once the wind

speed decreases below the programmed Wind Interrupt

setting. This interrupt will prevent watering during

high wind conditions.

Rain 24 Hour

Your ET Manager will look at rainfall for the last 24

hours. If rain accumulations reach the programmed

Rain 24 Hour Interrupt setting, watering is interrupted.

The Weather Interrupt is cancelled once the total rain-

fall in the last 24 hours drops below the Rain 24 Hour

setting. This interrupt will prevent watering when rain-

fall is received.

Rain 1 Hour

Like the Rain 24 Hour setting, your ET Manager will

look at rainfall for the last hour. If rain accumulations

reach the programmed Rain 1 Hour Interrupt setting,

watering is interrupted. The Weather Interrupt is can-

celled once the total rainfall in the last hour drops

below the Rain 1 Hour setting. This interrupt will pre-

vent watering temporarily when rainfall is received.

Note: If a Weather Interrupt occurs, the Attention

Indicator Light comes on and the cause of the interrupt

is displayed on the Home screen. The date time and

cause of the last interrupt is also recorded in the

Information Log.

Note: Due to metric to English unit conversions,

Weather Interrupts may not occur when the reported

conditions appear to match Weather Interrupt settings.

For example, a Temperature Interrupt may be set at 30°

F and the current temperature displays 30° F, but the

actual temperature may be 30.5° F. In this case, once

the temperature drops below 30° F, the Weather

Interrupt will occur.
