Features
- ESP: Extra-Simple Programming with
self-prompting large alphanumeric LCD display makes this controller easy to program, read
and understand.
- Four independent programs (A-, B-, C-, and
D-drip), with six start times each, allow mixed irrigation applications in a single
controller.
- 365-day calendar with leap year
intelligence for one-time date and time setting.
- Non-volatile program memory maintains
users program during a power outage independent of the battery backup.
- Removable, battery-programmable panel for
the convenience of both programming instruction and programming prior to installation.
- Four cycle modes (CUSTOM, CYCLICAL, ODD,
or EVEN) selectable for each program for maximum flexibility.
- Event-Day-Off option to set any day of the
month as a non-watering day for all programs accommodates special occasions and special
watering ordinances.
- Programmable Delay-Between-Stations
provides time for water well recovery or time for slow-closing valves to turn off
completely.
- Start time stacking prevents hydraulic
overload.
- Variable test program for system
operational testing.
- Water budgeting by program from 0 to 300%
in 1% increments makes seasonal adjustments quick and easy.
- Programmable rain delay enables system to
stay off for specified period with an auto-restart.
- Sensor inputs and override switch with LED
indicate when irrigation is suspended
- Master valve/pump start circuit,
programmable by station, for optimal irrigation control.
- D-drip program can run simultaneously with
program A, B or C to maximize hydraulic capacity and minimize watering time.
- Diagnostic circuit breaker and LED fault
indicator identify electrical shorts, skip shorted stations, and continue irrigation cycle
- Battery recharging circuit maintains fully
charged Ni-MH backup battery (included) to keep current time and date during a power
outage.
- Surge protection, backed by a 3-year
lightning warranty, makes the controller reliable and robust under extreme field
conditions.
- Heavy-duty 1.25A
external, plug-in style
transformer on the ESP-LXi+ indoor version provides convenient installation.
- Includes easy-to-mount, heavy-duty plastic
cabinet with key-lockable door and swing-out, quick release face panel, as well as all
internal wiring (no junction box needed), for clean-looking, professional installation.
- Remote Ready connector compatible with
Rain Bird's multi-function (RMX-1 system)
- Rapid Station Test Routine (RASTER)
enables the controller to diagnose and troubleshoot field wiring, solenoid, and controller
problems quickly and easily.
- Special Fuse Circuitry detects and
displays when a fuse has blown.
- UL and CUL Listed; FCC, CE and C-Tick
approved.
