where they are in the host controller. It will assume it controls
from station 1, to the highest numbered station it knows about, in
consecutive order. If there are stations for which ET control is not
desired, their wires should be moved to the highest-numbered sta-
tion positions. Be sure to change the Pump/Master Valve settings
for those stations if applicable (Pro-C and ICC only).
Example: A 9-station Pro-C controller has two stations, 3 and 5, for
which ET control is not desired. At the Controller dial position, ET
System is told that it is a 7-station system. Since ET System will as-
sume control of the first 7 stations, move the valve wires for stations
3 and 5 to stations 8 and 9, and move the former stations 8 and 9 to
the 3 and 5 positions. ET System cannot skip stations. It will accept
any number of stations, from 1 to xx, regardless of the controller
type selected.
ACC Controllers
The Hunter ACC controller is compatible with ET System, but setup
is somewhat different. See installation section for use of the ET/ACC
adapter.
•
Program A is not erased:
ET System will not affect controller
Program A directly. It will issue its run commands directly from
the ET Module.
•
Overlapping (with other Programs):
ET System stations may
overlap other ACC controller programs which happen to be run-
ning (within the controller’s or user-program’s maximum number
of overlapping stations), which is not possible in ICC, Pro-C, or
SRC. However, if ET System and the ACC controller try to run
more than 6 stations (or the user programmed maximum) at once,
ACC will cancel any irrigation over the maximum, and watering
may be postponed or lost. Avoid overlapping ET with other pro-
grams unless absolutely necessary, to prevent confusion.
•
Flow:
ACC controllers may also be equipped with flow meters, and
high or low flow shutdowns will not be known to the ET System (it
will think it has watered correctly). Compensate for any lost irriga-
tion by manual watering, after the flow condition has been fixed.
•
Move the Station wires
(if necessary). This applies to ACC as it
does to the other controllers: all stations for the ET control should
be first, in consecutive order from station 1 to the highest number
to be controlled by ET, followed by any non-ET stations that the
ACC will run in other programs.
Set Time/Date
The ET Module keeps its own time, separately from the irrigation
controller, and the current date/time must be set at the Controller Type
dial position.
After the station size has been set correctly, use the right arrow key to
advance to the hour position.
Use the +/- buttons to enter the correct hour. Press and hold either
key to accelerate the setting.
Use the right arrow key to advance to the minute position, and use
+/- to enter the minute.
Use the right arrow key to advance to the AM/PM setting, and use +/-
to finish the time setting.
AM/PM International Time definitions (in 24-hour clock terms):
0000 – 1200 = AM (Latin
Ante Meridiem
, before noon)
1201 – 2359 = PM (
Post Meridiem
, after noon)
Midnight = 12 AM
Noon = 12 PM
Continue to set the date with the right arrow key. Set the date, month,
and year separately, using the +/- at each position, and the right arrow
to move positions (dd/mm/yy).
Set Daylight Savings
ET Module can automatically adjust for Daylight Savings time
changes.
After the time and date are set, use the right arrow key to advance to
the Daylight Savings position.
Use the +/- keys to select either USE or DO NOT USE.
