Valve Control Test

When using Enable Output Method, your ET Manager

controls the output of the sprinkler controller. Follow

these steps to verify your ET Manager interrupts the

stations on each Valve Group, A and B:

Note: To complete the Valve Control Test, the

Automatic Window or Daily Window must be

closed. If a status message appears on the Home

screen with either “Automatic Window Open” or

“Daily Window Open” temporarily close the

Automatic or Daily Window by changing the Water

Window settings outside the current time dis-

played on the Home screen.

1. On initial startup the Valve Group A and B

Indicator Lights are green, indicating watering

is not interrupted. If the lights are red, adjust

the Current Moisture Level for A and B below

zero.

2. Manually turn on each station with your sprin-

kler controller and visually check that all sta-

tions operate.

3. Adjust the Current Moisture Level for Valve

Group A above zero. The Valve Group A

Indicator Light will turn red and interrupt the

watering on Valve Group A.

4. Manually turn on each station with your sprin-

kler controller and visually check that Valve

Group A stations do not operate and Valve

Group B stations still come on.

5. Reverse the Moisture Level settings for A and B,

so that the Valve Group B Indicator Light is red

and that the Valve Group A Indicator Light is

green. Then repeat step 4 for to verify that

Valve Group B stations do not come on, while

Valve Group A stations operate.

6. Set both Moisture Levels back to the desired

level, a setting of zero will allow the next water-

ing cycle to occur.

Water Window Settings

Verify the Water Window settings were set correctly in

your ET Manager. The Water Window settings consist

of the Automatic and Daily Windows, where the

Automatic Window is the period of time that the ET

Manager controls watering cycles based on ET and the

Daily Window is an optional period of time when

watering can occur as programmed in the sprinkler

controller, and is not controlled by your ET Manager.

These Water Window settings should be checked to

confirm that they correspond with the start times and

run times programmed in the sprinkler controller. You

should also verify that the current time is set correctly

on the sprinkler controller.

Initial Moisture Levels

On startup, your ET

Manager A and B Moisture

Levels are “0.” At this level,

watering will be allowed on

the next cycle programmed

in the sprinkler controller.

If the amount of water in

the soil is already high and

the plants do not need

immediate water, the initial

moisture level for A and B

can be increased to post-

pone watering.

Use

Œ or Õ to increase or decrease the Current

Moisture Level for A or B.
