48 ESP-LX Modular Controller
OPERATING THE
CONTROLLER
After you have programmed the controller, you will normally set it
to operate automatically. You can manually run one or more
programs, and you can manually operate a single valve or several
valves.
The ESP-LX Modular controller also provides several testing and
diagnostic functions.
Operate Controller
Automatically
To operate the controller automatically, turn the dial to
“AUTO.” The controller runs the sprinklers according to the
programs you have set. When no program is running, the
display shows “Auto,” along with the day and time. When a
program starts, the display shows the valve currently running
and its remaining run time.
NOTE: If you forget to turn the dial to “AUTO,” the
controller will eventually set itself to automatic
operation. The only setting that prevents automatic
operation is “OFF” (see step 6).
