Device Connections
The ESP-LX PLUS SITE has a maximum of 2 sensor
inputs. The ESP-LX PLUS SITE works with any open or
closed switch sensor or pulse-type devices.
Note:
The information from this sensor system
feeds back information to the central control
system (Maxicom
2®
).
Important:
The wires you use to connect the
controller to the sensor must be approved for
underground use. See the Rain Bird Catalog
for exact wire specifications.
Important:
The sensor wires should be installed
in a conduit other than the one that contains
the wires to the LX PLUS Controller main
power source.
To connect the sensor’s wires to the controller,
• Strip
1
⁄
2
” (1,3 cm) from the end of the sensor wires. Insert
one wire to each of the sensor terminal holes on the
MISB. If the wire does not enter securely into the hole,
press down on the lever as you insert the wire.
• Route the wires through the knockout for a PVC male
adapter sized
3
⁄
4
" (1,9 cm) on the right hand side of the
cabinet. This same hole will be used to run phone
cable to the MISB. Conduit is recommended for both
phone and sensor cables/wires
• Connect the other end of the wires to the sensor’s com-
mon terminals or wires.
• Follow the sensor’s directions for placing and connect-
ing the sensor’s probes and for setting the shutoff level,
if appropriate.
ESP-LX PLUS SITE OPERATION
Central Control / Stand-Alone Switch
On the back of the face plate of the LX Plus SITE con-
troller is a switch labeled “Central Control – Stand-Alone
Switch”. This switch must be placed in the “Central
Control” position for the controller to work as a Site-
Satellite. If left in Stand-Alone, the controller will function
as a Stand Alone ESP-LX PLUS.
