Installation guide
Irrigation Manager has two different types of diagnostics:
1. Configuration Check - check your configuration for common problems.
2. System Test - run a series of electrical diagnostic tests on the system.
Configuration Check
The default diagnostic is the “Configuration Check”. It appears when you click on the "Diagnostics" button, but you may also
click the “Configuration Check” tab.
This diagnostic tool analyzes all of the configuration settings of the controller and displays a list of configuration suggestions.
These do not necessarily indicate problems. They are intended only to point out potential configuration problems of which you
may not have been aware. Notice in the picture below that zones 4, 6 and 8 are disabled. This is a potential problem since those
zones will not water. However, they may also be intentionally disabled. It is the responsibility of the user to determine if the
suggestions in the list need to be acted upon.
Configuration suggestions are grouped by type as noted in the "Type" column.
Each type has a number which uniquely identifies it in the group. This is contained in the "#" column. This could be its zone id or
restriction id, etc.
The "Description" column displays the potential problem. More details may be provided in the "Details" column.
System Test
The “System Test” diagnostic tool runs a series of electrical diagnostic tests on the system. It has a basic and advanced mode.
Click the "System Test" tab to access this tool.
The basic mode requires no user input. It will test all
zones and devices and report any errors.
Click “Start Test” to run in basic mode.
The progress of the test is indicated by a bar across
the top of the screen. Each error will be displayed in
the grid along with a description of the problem. At
the conclusion of the test, the overall status will be
displayed. A failure status indicates that one or more
errors were detected.
Stop the test at any time by clicking on "Stop Test".
Print the resulting errors by clicking the “Print”
button.
Advanced mode gives you complete control over the
system test.
To enter this mode, click on "Advanced Mode" at the
bottom of the screen. A check mark will appear next
