ET Manager Series - Installation and Operation Manual

3. Programming

Your ET Manager operation requires programming
specific settings. Most of the programmable settings
are site specific and are defined in chapter 6,
Determining Programmable Settings. This chapter will
allow you to program your ET Manager using general
settings; refer to Appendix II for a table of general pro-
grammable settings.

Programming Options

There are two programming options for an ET
Manager:

• Using the ET Manager Programming Software

• Manual Programming

Using the ET Manager
Programming Software

The ET Manager Programming Software (ETM-PS) is a
software program that simplifies ET Manager program-
ming. The ETM-PS allows you to connect your ET
Manager to a personal computer to perform several key
functions:

• Choose your WRSP and weather region from

pull downs.

• Program all settings quickly and easily.

• Save programmable settings for future use.

• Use ET Manager Scheduler to help automati-

cally set site specific settings for your ET
Manager.

• Access ET Manager diagnostic tools.

• Provides a printable report of programmed set-

tings.

The ETM-PS software is sold separately. For ET
Manager Programming Software information, contact
your Rain Bird Distributor.

Note:

If your ET Manager has been previously pro-

grammed you should have received an ETM-PS report.
This report is a summary of programmed settings. You
should review these settings to verify they correspond
to the actual site conditions.

Note:

The yellow Attention Indicator Light may be on

when power is connected to the ET Manager. Attention
condition messages may be displayed on the Home
screen. Initially, the “Set Signal Provider Code” and “No
Historical ET Data” messages may be displayed. Once
these settings are programmed, the yellow Attention
Indicator Light will turn off and the attention messages
will disappear.

Manual Programming

Manual programming allows you to program each set-
ting on-site or in the field using the buttons and menus
built into the ET Manager. Manual programming can
be more time consuming than using the ET Manager
Programming Software.

Manual Programming Steps

Manual programming can be broken into 4 key steps:

1. Data Source

2. Output Method

3. Site Specific Settings

4. Additional Settings

Note:

Appendix I, ET Menu Structure, is available for

easy viewing of the ET Manager menus.

1. Data Source

Specific settings must be programmed to obtain access
to the appropriate weather information. These settings
include:

• Weather Region

• Rain Source

• Elevation

• Signal Provider Code
