ESP-Lx Plus features and benefits.
- 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 user's 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.
