ESP-LX Modular Controller
Valves
The ESP-LX Modular controls when your sprinkler system turns
on, and how long the sprinklers run. The controller has several
valves connected to it, as shown in the illustration on the following
page.
Each valve opens when it receives power from the controller, and
the sprinklers connected to that valve turn on. When these
sprinklers have run for their programmed time, the controller shuts
off the valve and opens the next valve in sequence.
For example, the illustration on page 5 shows that valve 1 is
currently watering. When valve 1 is finished, the controller will
shut it off and start valve 2. In the same way, valve 3 will begin
watering when valve 2 is finished.
NOTES:
The ESP-LX Modular controller lets you
set a delay between valves. (See page 33.) For
example, if you set a one-minute delay, valve 1 will
run until finished, followed by a one-minute delay.
Then valve 2 will operate, followed by a one-minute
delay.
In addition, the Cycle+Soak™ feature may delay
valve operation. See page 35.
