Valve Settings
The ESP-LX Modular controller lets you assign special settings to
valves. These include:
Valve Delay— Program a pause between the end of one
valve’s operation and the beginning of the next valve’s
operation.
Cycle+Soak™—Break up a valve run time to prevent runoff
and puddling.
MV or Pump—Assign a master valve or pump start relay to
operate any time a valve opens.
Sensor Override—Set a valve to operate when a sensor is
active.
Valve Delay
The valve delay feature lets you program a pause between the end
of one valve’s operation and the beginning of the next valve’s
operation. You may set a delay from one second to nine hours.
You can use valve delays to allow a water well to recover or slow-
closing valves to turn off completely. If neither of these situations
applies to your site, leave the valve delay set to 0.
You can set a different valve delay for each program. A valve delay
applies to
all
valves in a given program.
Turn the dial to “VALVE SETTINGS.”
