Getting to Know your
Rain Bird ET Manager
Your ET Manager automates control of the sprinkler
system. It reacts to weather information it receives
from the weather signal based on the settings pro-
grammed in the device. The following basic knowledge
will identify elements of the ET Manager (see Figure 4),
explain how to navigate through the ET Manager
menus, and provides ET Manager Specifications.
LCD Display
The display is used to view current operating conditions,
monitor status, view settings, and make programming
changes. On startup the LCD screen displays the Home
screen, which reports the following information:
Note: Status and Attention messages are a normal
operation condition. Refer to chapter 5, Routine
Operation, for more information on the Status and
Attention messages.
Note: On initial startup the date and time is displayed
as Jan 01 2000 12:00 am. Once the ET Manager
begins to receive the weather signal the date and time
will be set automatically. Date and time can also be
set manually.
Note: After two hours with no keypad activity the dis-
play reverts to the Home screen.
Note: The LCD display will refresh once a minute.
Note: If you are using an advanced Output Method,
as described in chapter 8, the Home screen may dis-
play different information.
