Before You Begin:

Please refer to your ESP-LX PLUS Installation,

Programming, & Operation guide for answers to questions

regarding installation and connection (valve wires, etc) of

an ESP-LX PLUS Controller.

NOTE:

When Setting the Time and Date on

startup of the ESP-LX PLUS SITE Controller,

the ESP-LX PLUS SITE defaults will be MON

12:00 26 MAY 03. Dates earlier than this can

not be set in this controller. ESP-LX PLUS

Controllers (per the manual) default to SUN

12:00 1 JAN 95.

Installation instructions in this addendum assume conver-

sion of an existing ESP-LX PLUS Controller to an ESP-LX

PLUS SITE Controller using the ESP-LX PLUS SITE

Module Kit. If purchase of a new ESP-LX PLUS SITE

Controller was made, instructions specific to the Module

Kit (transformer replacement, etc) may be ignored.

Warnings:

Important:

The ESP-LX PLUS SITE Controller is

designed to operate up to 4 valve stations

plus one Master Valve, simultaneously. It is

necessary that only one Rain Bird valve sole-

noid be connected to each valve station in the

controller.

Important:

Before installing the Site Satellite

Maxicom Interface Site Board (MISB) cabinet,

make sure that the area around you is free

from dirt and dust and that your hands and

arms are clean. This will avoid contamination

of the controller’s internal parts.

Warning!

Don’t let water or other liquids come

in contact with any part inside the controller

cabinet.

Caution:

This controller contains a Lithium bat-

tery. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrect-

ly replaced. Replace only with the same or

equivalent type recommended by the manu-

facturer. Dispose of used battery according to

the manufacturer’s instructions
