ESP-LXME Controller
Section D - Advanced Programming
The ESP-LXME controller has a wide variety of advanced but easy-to-
use features designed to simplify irrigation.
Seasonal Adjust %
Seasonal Adjust % allows you to use the heaviest irrigation season as a
baseline and adjust to lesser amounts of watering at other times of the
year. For example, you could set July at 100% and set October to 50% so
there would be half as much watering in Fall than in Summer. Seasonal
adjustments can be managed by month or by program.
CAUTION: Multiple Seasonal Adjustment settings aect each
other and can signicantly impact irrigation. For example, if you
set a program-level Seasonal Adjustment of 10% and then a
monthly Seasonal Adjustment of 10%, irrigation will be reduced
to 1% of normal (10% of 10%). Consider using only one type of
Seasonal Adjustment setting.
CAUTION: Setting a small number for the Seasonal Adjustment
percentage will greatly reduce watering and setting to 0% will
cancel irrigation entirely. Use caution when making Seasonal
Adjustment settings.
NOTE: Do not use Seasonal Adjustments if you’re already using
an ET Manager Cartridge (ETC-LX) with your controller. The ETC-
LX automatically manages Seasonal Adjustments. For more
information consult the Rain Bird web site or the ETC-LX user
documentation.
