ESP-TM Installation and Operation

Page 35

Install Wiring Skirt

Slide the wiring skirt into its slot beneath the flip strip

connector.

If you've used 3/4" PVC conduit to route the field wiring,

you can route the transformer wires out of the side of the

skirt by breaking out a small notch in the skirt with a pair

of needle-nose pliers. See the illustration.

Secure the wiring skirt to the wall with two of the screws

provided.

Snap the lower controller cover back into position.

Plug the 24VAC external transformer into a 110V outlet.

ESP-TM installation is now complete. Please refer to the

programming instructions on page 5.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Display shows

"PR OFF."

Fuse has blown.

Replace the fuse with one of the same amperage rating.

Use the MAN START / ADV. button to run a watering

program. Press MAN START / ADV. to cycle through

each station. If the fuse blows again on a particular

station, that station's solenoid or field wires may have a

short circuit that needs repair.

Determine why power to the controller has been

interrupted, and re-establish power.

Power is off to the controller.

Display is blank:

3. If the controller is still receiving

power, an electrical surge

exceeding the controller's built-in

surge protection may have

damaged the controller's

microprocessor.

Unplug the controller and remove the battery. Wait two

minutes. Then re-install the battery, and plug the unit in. If

numbers and letters return to the display, the power surge did

not do permanent damage. Reprogram the controller.

If the display remains blank, the ESP-TM may be perma-

nently damaged. Call Rain Bird Technical Services at 1-800-

247-3782 for a service referral.

Power is off to the ESP-TM and the

backup battery has run down.

Re-establish power to the controller, and then reprogram it.

Replace the battery with a 3-Volt lithium coin cell.
