127 ESP-LXD Controller
Local Weather Sensors
ESP-LXD can also accept input from a single weather sensor wired
directly in to the controller instead of to the 2-Wire path. Supported
Rain Bird sensors include the RSD rain sensing device, the WR2-RC
wireless rain sensor, the WR2-RFC wireless rain/freeze sensor and the
ANEMOMETER wind sensor (the Rain Bird 3002 Pulse Transmitter is
required for use of the ANEMOMETER). Other generic sensors, such as
soil moisture sensors will also typically work. ESP-LXD supports one
local weather sensor. The local weather sensor can also be bypassed
with the sensor bypass switch on the controller front panel.
Connect Local Weather Sensors
b b
NOTE:
Follow the sensor manufacturer’s instructions to correctly
install and make wire connections to the sensor. Ensure the sensor
installation is in compliance with all local codes.
A
Run continuous sensor wires from the weather sensor to the ESP-
LXD controller.
B
Remove the yellow jumper wire (if present). Connect the sensor
wires to the sensor (Sen) and common (C) inputs, to the right of
the 2-Wire path terminals on the ESP-LXD decoder module. When
finished, tug gently on the wires to make sure the connections
are tight.

NOTE:
If your weather sensor requires 24V power from the
controller, the connectors to the left of the sensor and common
connectors can be used.
C
To enable the weather sensor: on the controller front panel, slide
the Weather Sensors switch to Active.

NOTE: Ensure that the configuration for your controller and
irrigation programs are set up correctly for your sensor. For
example, if one of your programs is set up to manage your
landscape lighting you may want to ensure that its stations ignore
input from a local rain sensor. See Section B, Weather Sensors
Setup for more details.

NOTE: The Weather Sensors switch activates or bypasses all
installed weather sensors on your system.
Verifying Field Installation
Once some or all field decoders have been installed and programmed
into the ESP-LXD controller you can check the electrical portion of the
installation even if water is not available to test sprinklers. See Section
C, Run a Line Survey for more details.
If water is available and you would like to test some or all of your
sprinklers, the easiest way to do so is by using the Manual Watering
features of the controller. See Section G, Manual Watering for more
details.
