ET Manager Series - Installation and Operation Manual 78

Slope: When sprinklers apply water faster than the soil

can absorb it, water can run-off. Sloping landscapes

increase the chance of run-off occurring.

Smart Control: The smart control term is used to des-

ignate water efficient systems which operate with your

sprinkler system by calculating the evapotranspiration

rate, or soil moisture.

Soil: Soil is a habitat for soil organisms and plant roots.

It functions as a storehouse for nutrients and a water

reservoir. It contains and supplies water, oxygen, nutri-

ents, and provides mechanical support for plant

growth.

Sprinkler Controller: A sprinkler controller is an elec-

tronic timer that activates automatic sprinkler control

valves within a sprinkler system.

Sprinkler System: A sprinkler system delivers water to

a landscape and consists of piping, sprinkler valves,

sprinkler heads, and a sprinkler controller. Rain and

water from the sprinkler system replaces water used in

the landscape.

Station: Stations on a sprinkler controller are connect-

ed to specific valves that are activated according to your

ET Manager. Each station should have plants with sim-

ilar water requirements within its area. Stations are

also referred to as “zones.” Stations must be assigned to

specific ET Manager Valve Groups A, B, or none.

Temperature Interrupt: If the hourly weather signal

contains air temperatures that reach the Temperature

Interrupt setting, watering is interrupted. The weather

interrupt is cancelled once the air temperature rises

above the programmed interrupt setting received in the

hourly weather signal.

Terminal Cover: The terminal cover protects the wire

terminal connections on your ET Manager. To access

the wire terminals, the terminal cover will have to be

removed.

Test Counter: The Test Counter registers every signal

received, increasing from 1 to 255 counts. If 255 signals

are received and counted, the Test Counter will reset to 0.

Tipping Rain Gauge (Model ETM-RG): A Rain Bird

approved, optional on-site tipping rain gauge (1mm/

tip) with 30' cable can be connected to the ET

Manager. The on-site rainfall value can be used in

place of the rainfall value broadcast in the weather

signal to provide accurate on-site rain data.

Units: The ET Manager can calculate and display val-

ues in either English or Metric units.

Valve Groups A and B: Your ET Manager controls two

Valve Groups (A and B) by enabling sprinkler controller

output to the valve common. Each valve group must

have separate common wires to the valves in the group.

For example, lawn valves could be in Valve Group A and

shrubs valves in Valve Group B.

Valve Group A & B Indicator Lights: There is one

Indicator Light for each valve group, A and B. A green

light indicates watering is enabled, allowing the sprin-

kler controller to activate the valve. A red light indicates

watering is suspended or interrupted until watering is

needed.

Water Window: The ET Manager Water Windows, the

Automatic and Daily Windows, must be synchronized

with the watering times set in your sprinkler controller.

The Watering Widows will not start a watering cycle but

are used by the ET Manager to control watering during

that programmed period of time.

Weather Info: You can view detailed weather informa-

tion and graphs of the current weather conditions. The

weather info is stored for fourteen days.

Weather Reach Signal Provider (WRSP): The role of

your Weather Reach Signal Provider (WRSP) is to

retrieve weather information from local weather sta-

tions and send the weather signal to your ET Manager.

Weather Reach Water Management System: The

Weather Reach Water Management System automates

commercial and residential sprinkler schedules using

real-time weather conditions which are sent to your ET

Manager via your local Weather Reach Signal Provider

(WRSP).
