ESP-LXME Controller
Basic Operation
Valves (or stations) operate at times as specified by irrigation programs.
The controller sends power to the rst valve solenoid to open. When
nished, the controller signals the solenoid to shut o its valve and
then signals the second valve solenoid to open. Then when the second
valve is nished, the third valve will begin watering and so on.
NOTE: The ESP-LXME’s SimulStations feature allows you to operate
multiple stations at the same time. See section D for more details.
NOTE: The ESP-LXME’s Cycle+Soak feature may delay valve
operation. See Section D, Set Up Cycle+Soak
for more details.
The ESP-LXME lets you set a delay between stations. For example, if
you set a one minute delay, station 1 will run until nished, followed
by a one minute delay. Then station 2 will run, followed by another one
minute delay, and so on. See Section D, Station Delay for more details.
The order in which stations are selected to operate depends on the
following settings:
Station Sequencing settings
Station priorities
Station run times
Station program assignment
Station ow rate (FloManager)
POC ow rate (FloManager)
SimulStation settings
NOTE: When using Station Sequencing by priorities, set station
priorities higher for stations you want selected earlier in a program
and lower for stations you want selected later in a program.
