Detached Programming

Program the front panel remotely on battery power.

The front panel can be removed from the controller 
and programmed remotely using a 9 volt battery for 
power. Settings can be programmed for all 22 stations 
regardless of which Station Modules are installed in 
the controller.

Remove the front panel.

Install a 9V battery in the battery compartment.

Program the controller.

 

B

NOTE: 

Program information is stored in nonvol-

atile memory so it is never lost if the front panel 
loses power.

Replace the front panel (refer to 

Complete 

Installation

 in the Installation section).

 

B

NOTE:

 After the front panel is re-installed, any 

station that does not have a corresponding Sta-
tion Module installed will function as though the 
run time is zero.

Battery Life

If the display repeatedly shows “-- -- -- -- --”, or there 
is no display when using a 9V battery for remote pro-
gramming, replace the battery.

Troubleshooting

Error Detection

The ESP-ME3 controller has built-in error detection 
that can automatically generate an 

ALARM

 caused by 

an essential programming error or if an electrical short 
condition is detected.
The 

ALARM

 LED light on the ESP-ME3 controller front 

panel will light up to indicate an alarm condition:

The error will go away when the station is successfully 
run after condition is corrected.

NOTE

: The dial must be in the AUTO position for 

an ALARM message to appear on the display.

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 sta-
tion again at the next scheduled watering. Completion 
of a successful watering will clear the error condition 
associated with that station.
