3.3 GETTING STARTED – POWERING-UP THE CONTROLLER
When the Rain Master Eagle controller is first powered up the controller will display “HELLO”.
HELLO
When the HELLO prompt is displayed there are NO user programs in the Rain Master Eagle
controller.
If the controller is left in the HELLO mode the controller will automatically start to water every
station within its configuration for ten (10) minutes (default watering program).
This process will start automatically after the controller has been in the HELLO mode for six (6)
hours. Once the watering cycle starts each station will be on for ten (10) minutes. The cycle will
repeat every twenty-four (24) hours.
If you press any key on the Rain Master Eagle controller keyboard, the controller will exit the
HELLO mode and remove the default watering program.
The Rain Master Eagle controller comes from Rain Master with certain parameters already
configured, these default parameters are noted in Table 6 - Setup Options and Controller Defaults.
