a. Per Minute: There are two options either 1
or 10 pulses per minute. This setting controls
the pulse rate so the host sprinkler controller
can recognize each pulse.
b. ET Duration: For each 0.01” of ET a dry con-
tact switch closure is made. The number of sec-
onds the switch remains closed for each pulse is
programmed here.
c. Rain Duration: For each 0.01” of rain a dry
contact switch closure is made. The number of
seconds the switch remains closed for each
pulse is programmed here.

Sprinkler Controller Programming
using ET and Rain Pulse
Every ET-based controller implements ET and Rain
inputs differently. Wiring, settings, programming, and
operations should be described in the users guide for
your sprinkler controller.
Note: Application notes detailing installation and set-
tings for specific compatible controllers are available at
www.rainbird.com/etmanager.
ET Pulse with Weather Interrupt
The ET Pulse with Weather Interrupt functions the
same as the ET and Rain Pulse Output Method by uti-
lizing Weather Interrupt instead of a Rain Pulse. To uti-
lize this Output Method:
• Your sprinkler controller, ET Manager, and
valves must be installed correctly, see Figure 17.
• Your ET Manager must be correctly pro-
grammed.
• Your sprinkler controller must be programmed
to recognize ET pulse input and Weather
Interrupt control.
