Using the Display Screen and Menus
Home Screen
The "Home Screen" shows basic information about your HermitCrab and its current status. Only
three lines are visible on the display screen at any one time. The Home Screen shows:
Current Date and Time
Serial Number
Status
Current Date and Time: This line displays the current local time where your HermitCrab is
installed. This information is automatically updated every time your HermitCrab connects to the ETWater
servers.
Serial Number: Your serial number is unique, and you should use it if you communicate with the
ET Water Support Team.
Status: This line tells you what your HermitCrab is doing. There are five status modes:
Idle (not currently watering)
Watering (in the process of watering a station)
Suspended (your HermitCrab operation has been suspended and will not water, but it will
continue to make daily connections to the ET Water servers to download watering
schedules)
Rain Sensed (your HermitCrab will not water because the rain sensor is wet
[you will receive an alert for this condition])
Soaking (automatic pause during irrigation to allow the water to soak in)
The Action Menus
There are 9 Action Menus. You access them from anywhere in the Home Screen by pressing the
selector knob, then rotating it to your selection. Once your selection is highlighted, press the knob
to access the Actions sub-menu.
Percent Adjust: Use this function to increase or decrease your irrigation run-times. Rotate the
selector knob to select either one specific station, or all stations, and press the knob to make your
selection. Then, rotate the knob to choose the percent adjustment you wish to make.
Complete the process by selecting either Accept or Cancel. Once complete, the display will return
to the Home Screen.
Suspend: Use this function to stop any scheduled watering. Rotate the selector knob to highlight
your choice; "On" means suspend all stations so that no watering will occur; "Off" means all stations
will water according to their downloaded schedules. Press the knob to make your selection. Once
complete, the display will return to the Home Screen. (Note: If you want only some stations to
water, but not others, use your online account to apply restrictions to the stations you want off.)
Station Test: Use this function to turn on and off a station. Rotate the selector knob until the
station number you want to water appears. Press the knob to make your selection. Next, rotate
the knob to select the number of minutes you would like the station to water. Press the knob to
make your selection. You will need to press the knob again once Begin is highlighted, or you can
cancel the watering command by selecting Cancel. If you select Begin, the display will show you
which station is watering, the number of minutes you requested, and the number of minutes
remaining. (Note: To stop watering before the minutes run out, press Stop. Watering will stop, and the
display screen will return to the Home Screen.)

Misc Status Info: This selection will display the host currently selected for the HermitCrab, the
firmware version the device is running and the date / time the device last connected. This
information will be helpful if you call ET Water technical support.
Return: When Return is highlighted, you may press the selector knob to return to the Home
Screen.
Host Select: Rotate the selector knob until your type of host controller is highlighted, then press
the knob to make your selection. (See Page 8 for a list of compatible host controllers.) After
making your selection, the display will return to the Home Screen. (Note: If you had previously
selected your host controller, its name will appear in the display. If it is correct and you don't want
to change it, press Cancel to return to the Home Screen without changing your host controller.)
YOU MUST SELECT THE CORRECT HOST CONTROLLER OR YOUR HERMITCRAB WILL NOT
OPERATE CORRECTLY.
Test Dial: A Test Dial initiates a connection to the ET Water servers where all of your account
information, landscape profiles, and watering schedules are stored. You may execute a Test Dial
at any time. With each connection, your HermitCrab downloads the latest watering schedules, so
this feature is especially useful if you have made changes to your landscape profile.
When you access the Test Dial selection, the display shows the last connection date and time, a
bar graph depicting the wireless signal strength, and two menu options: "Dial" and "Cancel". To
execute a Test Dial, press the knob when the "Dial" option is highlighted. There needs to be some
amount of cellular signal for the test dial to be successful. Your HermitCrab will initiate a
connection. The HermitCrab will display that it is transmitting ("TX") and will show that it is receiving ("RX")
and it will display the number of data packets that are received. When the communication is finished, you
will see "Done". Your HermitCrab will terminate the connection automatically. (Note: During the connection,
"Abort" will be highlighted, which means you may press the knob to stop the connection in progress.)
After a successful connection or an aborted connection, you will automatically return to the Home
Screen.
Program Review: This screen shows the first watering start time and the number of programmed
stations.
Rain Sense: This function allows your HermitCrab to operate with a rain sensor. If you connect a
rain sensor to your HermitCrab, you must enable it as well. To enable your rain sensor, rotate the
selector knob to highlight "Rain Sense Disabled," then press the knob. Next, rotate the knob to
either Enable or Disable. Press the knob to make your choice. (Note: You can cancel the rain
sensor setup process by pressing the knob when "Cancel" is highlighted.) You will automatically
return to the Home Screen once you've enabled the sensor or canceled the setup process.
Recent Activity: This function displays event codes that describe operations your host controller
has recently performed. Rotate the selector knob to scroll through the list. To exit from the list,
press the selector knob.
Here is a sample of event codes and their descriptions:

1300, 1301, 1302, etc.
