Error Detection
The ESP-Me controller has built-in error detection that can
automatically generate an alert caused by an essential
programming error or if an electrical short condition is
detected.
The Alert LED light on the ESP-Me controller front panel will
light up to indicate an alarm condition:

When an electrical error is detected, irrigation for the
affected station is cancelled and watering advances to the
next operable station in the program.
The controller will attempt to water the affected station
again at the next scheduled watering. Completion of a
successful watering will clear the error condition associated
with that station.
Clearing Electrical Error Alerts
Turn the dial to the AUTO RUN position
to view the error message on the
display. To clear the Alert, press the
