mode after being in Disabled mode for an extended
period of time, verify the current moisture level to
determine when the first automatic watering cycle
should occur.
Override
If you need to manually turn on valves and the ET
Manager is interrupting the output of the sprinkler con-
troller (Valve Group Indicator Light(s) are red), press
the Override button to enable sprinkling for one hour.
If more time is needed, press the Override button to
increase override in one-hour increments.
The ET Manager can also be set to the Override mode
from the Control Mode screen. Use
Πin the Override
Control Mode screen to set the number of hours the
Override mode should run. After the override time has
elapsed, your ET Manager will resume normal opera-
tion. If you want to cancel the Override mode, press
Õ
until “Hours” is set to zero.
Weather Signal Test
The ET Manager uses a paging radio receiver with a
built-in antenna to receive the weather signal. In most
cases, this antenna is reliable.
Follow these steps to verify your ET Manager receives
weather signals:
1. ET Manager must be powered using a 24-volt
AC power source.
2. Navigate the menus to the Weather Signal
screen.

3. Verify the weather signal is “Detected,” this
may take up to two minutes.
4. From the Weather Signal screen, monitor the
Test Counter. The Test Counter registers every
signal received increasing from 1 to 255 counts.
Note: If 255 signals are received and counted, the
Test Counter will reset to 0.
5. If the weather signal is “Not Detected” after two
minutes, verify the Signal Provider Code is pro-
grammed correctly. If the Signal Provider Code
is programmed incorrectly, use the
Œ, Õ and
À buttons to set the codes for A through J.

Note: To obtain your Signal Provider Code, contact
your WRSP, the Rain Bird Distributor, your installa-
tion contractor, or go to
www.rainbird.com/etmanager. See chapter 3,
Programming, for more information on the Signal
Provider Code.
6. Once the Signal Provider Code is confirmed
correct, press

7. If the weather signal becomes “Detected,”
monitor the signal Accuracy percentage over
several days.

8. If the signal remains “Not Detected” after com-
pleting the steps above, try a different installa-
tion location or an optional external antenna.
Note: Because of the nature of radio transmission,
strength of the paging signal may vary depending
upon your location. An external antenna may be
used in some areas to eliminate signal weakness-
es. See chapter 2, Installation, for more informa-
tion on optional external antennas.
Note: The Reset command also clears the test
counter.
