A member of the popular ESP family of controllers, the ESP Modular Series has features that are designed to maximize your productivity by saving you time and money. It improves upon Rain Bird's already easy-to-use ESP style of programming with a large, easy to read display and intuitive programming sequence, making this the most user-friendly controller in its class. The spacious cabinet and terminal locations make installation and wire-up a snap. And features like the Contractor Default™ program make service calls more efficient and earn you more money by taking less time! The ESP Modular Irrigation Controller: Maximizing your Productivity.
- Easily upgrades from a four station base model to 13 stations with the addition of 3-station modules at installation or in the future.
- Hot-swappable modules can be installed while the controller is in operation and in any position.
- Contractor Default™ Program allows the contractor to save his own default program and retrieve it with the push of a button. Useful in easily reloading a schedule that has been altered or to replace a temporary schedule for new seed or sod.
- Enhanced Diagnostic Feedback™ alerts the user to conditions when watering is suspended due to an activated sensor, shorted stations or programming errors with a warning light and text message on the LCD.
- Auxiliary Station™ can be set to bypass an active sensor to allow watering even if the other stations are disabled or can be set as a normal station.
- 365-day calendar with leap year intelligence means that you can set an “Odd” or “Even” day watering schedule and not worry about changing the date on leap years.
- Four irrigation cycle modes for maximum flexibility and compliance to all major watering restrictions (Custom 7-day calendar, cyclic 1-31 day interval, and odd/even day calendar).
- Non-volatile memory maintains the irrigation schedule indefinitely during a power outage.
- Lithium battery maintains the time and date for up to 6 months during a power outage.
- Permanent Day off allows the user to set any day of the week as a non-watering day in any program or schedule, making it easy to comply with watering restrictions or other requirements such as weekly lawn care or maintenance.
- Global Season Adjust (0-200%) allows the user to alter the run time of all the valves in every program with the push of a button.
- Dedicated sensor terminals allow the user to easily connect a sensor to the controller for maximum water efficiency.
- Sensor bypass switch allows the user to override an active sensor.
- Fuseless, diagnostic circuit breaker identifies a station with valve or wiring problems and continues to water operable stations.
- “Valve Test Terminal” allows the installer to test the valve wires during installation to determine the valve that each wire is connected to.
- Spacious heavy-duty cabinet with internal junction box provides lots of room for wiring and eliminates the need to purchase an external j-box for a clean and professional looking installation. Outdoor model comes with key-locking cabinet.
- “Remote Ready” connector enables the controller to be used with Rain Bird’s RMX multi-function remote control system
