ET Manager Series - Installation and Operation Manual 76
Navigation Buttons: The Ã, Œ, Õ, or À naviga-
tion buttons are used to position the cursor at the
desired location and navigate through the ET Manager
menus.
No Historical ET Data: The ET Manager uses a histori-
cal ET database as a backup in the event weather signal
service is not available. Historical ET data is pro-
grammed in your ET Manager based on local condi-
tions. If your ET Manager is not programmed with his-
torical ET data, a No Historical ET Data attention mes-
sage will appear on the Home screen.
No Paging Signal: The ET Manager periodically verifies
the presence of the Paging Signal. If the paging signal is
not detected after a period of time the Attention
Indicator Light will come on and the No Paging Signal
is displayed on the Home screen.
No Power: The ET Manager needs power to operate.
The battery is used only to keep time during a power
outage and keep the display screen active. If there is no
power, the Attention Indicator Light will not come on,
but a No Power message will appear on the Home
screen.
No Signal Service: Your Weather Reach Signal Provider
(WRSP) can send a “No Signal Service” signal to cancel
weather signal reception. Typically this would happen
only if the terms of the service agreement were not met.
No Water Day: Available watering days can be pro-
grammed in your ET Manager. If the current day has
been set to “Off,” watering will not be enabled regard-
less of the current Moisture Levels. The No Water Day
status message indicates that the current day has been
set to “Off.”
No Watering Detected: Your ET Manager may not
detect watering if your ET Manager has not been prop-
erly wired or the sprinkler controller has not been prop-
erly programmed. “No Watering Detected” appears on
the Home screen and the Attention Indicator Light
turns on when this condition occurs.
No Weather Data: If your ET Manager has not received
a weather signal for more than 25 hours the Attention
Indicator Light comes on and this message will be dis-
played on the Home screen.
Output Method: To accommodate a variety of sprin-
kler controllers, the ET Manager has four output meth-
ods: Enable, Enable A then B, ET and Rain Pulse, or ET
Pulse with Weather Interrupt. Enable is the most com-
mon Output Method used.
Override: The override button temporarily bypasses ET
Manager control, allowing valve relays to close and
enabling watering regardless of the current ET Manager
status. Override watering is adjusted in hourly incre-
ments.
Password: Access to the ET Manager setting features
can be protected by an optional user defined numeric
password (from 1 to 255, or “none”).
Plant Type: It is important to understand what plant
types (turf grass types, shrubs, trees, and groundcover)
are included in the landscape. These different plant
types use water at different rates, requiring different
Irrigation Amounts and Landscape Adjustment
Percentages.
Precipitation Rate: The rate at which water is applied
to the landscape, or the precipitation rate, is measured
in inches per hour.
Provider Interrupt: The Weather Reach Signal Provider
(WRSP) can send a signal to interrupt watering. This
may be necessary during an emergency condition in
the community requiring watering to be suspended to
limit the demand on the community water system. As
a service, your WRSP may also watch weather forecasts
and choose to interrupt watering. A Provider Interrupt
lasts for 24 hours.
Pump Control: Pump control can be utilized with your
ET Manager using one Valve Group only, refer to
Appendix X.
