Selecting Controller Setup Options
The controller setup options determine how the controller displays and manages the various tasks required to control
and monitor your irrigation system.
A set of default controller setup and operating preferences is established on initial power-up. The table below lists the
various controller setup menu items, the available options and the factory default settings.
Note: Synchronizing the controller with the current date and time should be accomplished rst. The remaining settings can
be changed at any time. Some of the settings will inuence corresponding programming and controller operations. These
features are explained in detail within the applicable portion of the User’s Guide.
Upon initial power-up and after the controller has been without power for an extended period of time, the SETUP
DATE/TIME screen is displayed by default. Enter the actual time and date per the following step-by-step procedure.
When you have completed this initial procedure, you will be familiar with the Eagle Plus menu structure and how the
multifunctional Dial allows you to easily navigate to select, change, adjust and enter the various controller programming
and setup options.
Important: All setup and programming selections must be entered (saved to memory) by pressing the Dial before
pressing any of the Direct Access keys. The controller will disregard any selection that has not been saved.
Note: An audible “chirp” tone is generated each time a valid Key or Dial entry is made. An invalid action is indicated by the chirp
tone four times in rapid succession.
