  • simple, flexible and reliable for residential applications, satisfying a wide range of land applications. It also has advanced irrigation features that ensure compliance with any type of local watering restrictions
  • the perfect choice for basic residential solutions. Designed according to the famous The Intelligent Use of Water® approach by Rain Bird, this controller offers water-saving features and easy operation
  • with the flexibility of 3 programs and 4 start times available per program, you can customize irrigation schedules to suit your terrain
  • offers the familiar Extra Simple Programming interface in a programmer built to last!
  • has been specially designed as an easy-to-use programmer with ESP’s familiar user interface, large LCD screen, and universal icons on both sides of the programmer as well as on the LCD screen
  • is a hybrid type device that combines electromechanical and microelectronic circuits – it operates at full capacity both automatically and manually

The programmer is housed in a waterproof plastic cabinet that can be mounted on the wall with a lockable door (padlock not included). The controller has three independent programs that offer four different start times per program. Firmware programming can set multiple start times sequentially to prevent hydraulic overload. All programs must be run consecutively.

Watering day programs are as follows: custom weekdays, odd or even calendar days, and cyclic (e.g., every 2 days, every 3 days, etc.). When the selector is in the WATERING DAYS position, the display indicates the type of active schedule (Odd, Even, or Cyclic) for the selected program. Station watering times vary from 1 minute to 6 hours.

The programmer is equipped with a clock in 12-hour AM/PM and/or 24-hour mode with day change at midnight.

The controller has a 365-day calendar stored for resetting in the event of a power outage thanks to an internal lithium battery that can store the date and time for 10 years. The controller offers manual watering options for all stations, a single station or a single program. When manual watering is enabled, the unit ignores the status of a rain sensor (if connected) and re-enables the sensor when manual watering is complete. The controller can override a rain sensor (if connected) for each station individually.

The controller has a seasonal adjustment feature to adjust watering times from 5% to 200% in 5% increments. Seasonal adjustment can be applied to all programs simultaneously or to individual programs. The controller shall be equipped with a watering delay feature that can override and suspend scheduled watering for up to 14 days. The controller has a Permanent Excluded Days feature available for odd, even, or cyclic day schedules. A day set as “permanently excluded” overrides normal repeat programming.

The programmer is equipped with a number of advanced functions that can be accessed by moving the selector switch to the appropriate position and holding down the left and right (or back and forth) arrow keys simultaneously for 3 seconds.
