3.3 GETTING STARTED – POWERING-UP THE CONTROLLER
When the RME EAGLE controller is first powered up the controller will display “HELLO”.
When the HELLO prompt is displayed there are NO user programs in the RME 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 RME EAGLE controller keyboard, the controller will exit the HELLO
mode and remove the default watering program.
The RME EAGLE controller comes from Rain Master with certain parameters already configured,
these default parameters are noted in Table 6 - Setup Options and Controller Defaults.
Before the RME EAGLE controller can be used to control the irrigation system, some basic
operator entries must be made. The Date and the Time-of -Day must be entered prior to running a
manual station, the System Check/Syringe Cycle, or configuring any irrigation programs.
The following example will demonstrate how to enter the Date and the Time-of-Day.
