User manual RAIN BIRD ESP MODULAR

[. . . ] The ESP Modular comes in two basic models, the ESP-4Mi for indoor use and the ESP-4M for indoor or outdoor use. The basic unit supports four valves and a master valve/pump start relay. With the addition of optional internal modules, the ESP Modular can support up to 13 valves (including an auxiliary valve), and a master valve/pump start relay. LCD Display -- during normal operation, displays the time of day and day of the week; during programming, shows the results of your commands; during watering, shows the valve that is running and the minutes remaining in its run time. [. . . ] The ESP Modular controller includes several additional functions that do not correspond to dial and switch settings on the front panel. These "hidden" functions are described on the following pages. In some areas, watering is prohibited on specific days of the week. If you are using an ODD/EVEN or CYCLIC watering cycle, you can set these days off so you won't violate watering restrictions. Turn the dial to the day of the week you want to turn OFF. Watering will never occur on this day of the week, regardless of the watering cycle or program. To turn the day of the week back on, press ON. The controller has one master valve (MV) terminal on its main Module 0. In some systems, a booster pump is connected to the MV terminal and needs to operate with certain zones and not in others. Press and hold the MANUAL START/ADVANCE button for three (3) seconds until "SET MV" is displayed briefly. The display will then show the station number, "MV" and a flashing "ON" or "OFF" (Default is ON for all stations). This toggles between selecting the station number and MV settings. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all necessary stations. Turn the dial to "AUTO" to finalize the master valve program by station. This feature allows the user to add a time delay between when one station turns off and the next station turns on. This is very useful for systems with pump stations that have slow recovery time or systems with slow closing valves. The user can set a delay between stations for each program. The delay can be from 0 seconds (default) to nine hours. The first 5 minutes can be set in 1-second increments, and the remaining time in 1-minute increments. Press and hold the "OFF" key for 3 seconds until the LCD shows "DELAY". Use the or keys to increase or decrease the delay time you need. The auxiliary valve terminal on the ESP Modular controller can operate in one of two ways. [. . . ] If the start time is missing, enter it as described on page 12. Turn the dial to the valve number, and set the program switch to check the run time for the valve in each program. The display will show "# Err, " where # is the valve number at fault. With the dial in AUTO, press the ADVANCE button to clear the Alarm LED. [. . . ]
