77 The Intelligent Use of Water.™

The ESP-LX Basic Controller offers basic irrigation programming options you need for commercial sites. The simple dial makes programming the controller straightforward, and easy-to-understand menu options guide you through set-up. The ESP-LX Basic is the first controller to offer both English and Spanish on one dial.
With 48-station capacity, four independent programs, and up to eight start times for each program, the ESP-LX Basic offers flexible scheduling options.
• A Seasonal Adjust feature is avail-able on all Rain Bird AC-powered controllers, allowing users to easi-ly adjust irrigation schedules to changing seasonal landscape water requirements. The ESP-LX Series Controllers also feature an automated Monthly Seasonal Adjust feature to help save water through automatic adjustments every month of the year.
• Water savings can also be optimized through daily irrigation schedule adjustments which fine-tune watering based on current weather. All ESP-LX series controllers can easily be upgrad-ed to include smart weather-based/ET or soil moisture irrigation control capability by adding the Rain Bird ET Manager Cartridge or a local rain sensor or soil moisture sensor.
• All Rain Bird controllers simplify conservation through a variety of flexible programming fea-tures. With the touch of a but-ton, the ESP-Me can recall a pre-viously saved “Contractor Default” irrigation program; the ESP-LX Series “Delayed Recall” feature automatically reverts to typical watering programs after a user-set time period.

Rain Bird FMD Series Landscape Water Meters Suggested Operating RangeThe following tables indicate the suggested flow range for Rain Bird FMD Series Landscape Water Meters. Rain Bird Sub-Meters will operate both above and below the indicated flow rates. However, good design practice dictates the use of this range for best performance. Landscape Water Meters should be sized for flow rather than pipe size.
