30 ESP-LX Modular Controller
Delay Watering
The ESP-LX Modular controller lets you turn off watering during
rainy periods or on specific calendar days.
Rain Delay
The rain delay feature lets you suspend watering for up to 14 days.
For example, if rainy weather lasts for two or three days, you can
set a rain delay of five or six days to let the landscape dry out
before resuming normal watering schedules.
NOTE: The Rain Delay feature lets you set a delay
period manually. If you have a sensor attached to your
system, see the instructions on page 45.
The rain delay setting applies to all programs. During a rain delay,
you can run programs manually.
Turn the dial to “DELAY WATERING.”
The Delay Watering menu appears.
Press “1” on the Delay Watering menu.
The display shows the days remaining until normal watering
cycles resume. The number of days flashes.
Press “+” or “–” to set the number of days to suspend
watering. This setting applies to all programs. To cancel a rain
delay, set the delay to “0.”
