Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing the WeatherTRAK OptiFlow XR upgrade kit.
OptiFlow enables all of your controllers to share information in the cloud using WeatherTRAK’s
built-in cellular radios. Each controller is then given daily instructions for optimizing how, when,
and where watering takes place inside your water windows, based on your schedules and, of
course, the weather. Using your site’s maximum water flow potential and keeping things
running as close to capacity as possible, water is delivered where it’s needed within the time
available. Users define their own water windows, station priorities, and flow hydraulics, and
then WeatherTRAK OptiFlow does the rest. If your system has a compatible flow sensor, faults
and issues are detected in real time to minimize site disruption, expense, and waste.

Step 2 - Disconnect Antenna and Ribbon Cable
Disconnect the antenna cable from the back of the command module.
Disconnect the ribbon cable from the back of the command module.
Remove the command module and set it aside.
Step 3 - Transfer the Station Keys
It is important to take the station keys from the ET Pro3 and move
them to the OptiFlow XR. The controller will not recognize the
station valves unless the station keys have been transferred. A
hardware alert will be received if this is not done.
Locate the station keys on the ET Pro3 and remove them.
Plug the station keys from the ET Pro3 into the ports on the
OptiFlow XR mini-chassis. The order is not important; however,
it is important to start with the left-most port.

Step 4 - Disconnect the Rain Sensor
If a rain sensor is connected, disconnect it. You will be reconnecting the rain sensor to the new
WeatherTRAK OptiFlow XR mini-chassis in step 9.
Step 5 - Label and Disconnect the Valve Wires
If your valve wires are not labeled, you will need to label them. A wire-marker book or
masking tape and a permanent marker work well for labeling.
Disconnect the valve wires from the mini-chassis board.
Step 6 - Remove the WeatherTRAK ET Pro3 Mini-Chassis
Verify that the power cable has been unplugged from the mini-chassis board.
Remove the grounding wire from the grounding lug.
Remove the grounding lug by unscrewing the nut that is holding it to the mounting bolt
using the 7/16” nut driver.
Remove the nuts that are on the remaining mounting bolts using the 7/16” nut driver.
Set aside the grounding lug and nuts. You will be using them when installing the OptiFlow
XR mini-chassis.
Remove the mini-chassis board and set it aside.

Step 11 - Activate Controller with HydroPoint
Before calling Customer Service to activate the controller, you will need to know the serial
number, SIM card number, and location of the controller. You can record this information on
the checklist page at the end of this document.
Write down the serial number from BOTH controllers. The serial number can be found on a
sticker attached to the front lower corner of the command module.
Write down the SIM number from the new controller. To find the SIM number:
Press the
HELP
button.
Press the button until the
SIM CARD SERIAL NUMBER
screen displays.
Make note of the location of the controller.
Call customer service 1-800-362-8774 to activate. When calling, let the representative
service tech know you are upgrading a controller and will be transferring data. When
activating, all programming and report data will be transferred from the ET Pro2 SWM
controller to the ET Pro3 controller.
Step 12 – Testing the new WeatherTRAK OptiFlow XR Controller
After the controller has been activated, you will need to test the system to ensure that the new
WeatherTRAK controller is operating properly. You will need to perform a valve test and a
controller configuration check.
Valve Test
To ensure all field wiring is properly connected and all stations are operating properly, conduct
a field wire integrity test.
Press the
MANUAL TEST
button
Press the −button until the
Valve Test
screen displays
Press the button until the
RUN VALVE TEST
screen displays.
Press the
SELECT
button, then press the *button to start the test. It will take about 15
seconds to verify continuity to all stations and the master valve.
If any field wiring issues exist, they will be identified as a “Fault”. A valve fault could be “SH”
(valve short) from a failing solenoid, “OC “ (over current) from valves drawing more than 1000
mA or “NC” (valve no-connect or open), reflecting a broken wire or wire that is not making
good contact in the corresponding station terminal.

Controller Configuration Check
After installing the WeatherTRAK ET Pro3, you will need to check your controller configuration
to make sure that all the stations are being read by the controller. To check configuration:
Press the
SETUP
button.
Press the * button. The following screen will display something similar:
You want to check to see that the number of Found and Active stations matches the setting for
Max Active stations. SETUP screen 01 is explained as follows:
Config:
Set by WeatherTRAK at the time of manufacture. This is the number of stations that the
controller is capable of managing.
Found:
The number of station outputs enabled on the terminal board via the station keys. If the
controller has been configured properly, this number should never be 0.
Active:
The maximum number of user defined active station that will be programmed.
Step 13 - Updating to OptiFlow
⚠Caution: Please verify with the owner or maintainer of the controller before performing the
OptiFlow updating process. Performing this step will DISABLE the ability to program from the
front panel.
Press the
HELP
button.
Press the button to advance to 3a.
Follow the on-screen prompts to make the upgrade to OptiFlow.
Step 14 – Program OptiFlow
Log into WeatherTRAK.net and program WeatherTRAK OptiFlow.
