ESPLXD-ET Controller
Master Valves Setup
The Master Valves Setup Wizard tells the ESPLXD-ET controller what
types of master valves (MVs) are used by your irrigation system.
The ESPLXD-ET supports up to 5 Master Valves or pumps. Each MV
must be connected to a Field Decoder and set up in the controller. Both
Normally Open master valves (NOMVs) and Normally Closed master
valves (NCMVs) are supported. Pumps are set up in the controller as
Master Valves. If you are installing a pump, follow the instructions
below, choosing the Pump Start Relay valve type in step 4. For wiring
instructions for a pump please see Appendix B.
