Specifications <br />The ESP-LXME Controller shall be of a hybrid type that <br />combines electro -mechanical and microelectronic cir- <br />cuitr y capable of full y automatic or manual operation. <br />The controller shall be housed in a wall -mountable, <br />weather -resistant plasti c cabinet with a key -locking <br />cabinet door suitable for either indoor or outdoor <br />installation. The controller shall havethe ability to <br />be programmed and operated in any one of six <br />languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, <br />& Portuguese. The displayshall show programming <br />options and operating instructions in the chosen <br />language without altering the programming or <br />operation information. <br />The controller shall have a base station capacity of <br />8 or 12 stations as well as 3 expansion dots capable <br />of receiving station modules of4, 8, or 12 stations to <br />create a controller capacity ofupto48 stations. All <br />stations shall have the capability of independently <br />obeying or ignoring the weather sensor as well as <br />using or notusing the master valve. Station timing <br />shall be from 0 minutes to 12 hours. The controller <br />shall have a Seasonal Adjustment by program which <br />adjusts the station run time from 0 to 3001/b in 1 % <br />increments The controller shall also have a Monthly <br />Seasonal Adjustment of Oto 300% by month. Station <br />timing with Seasonal Adjustment shall be from 1 <br />second to 16 hours <br />The controller shall have 4 separate and independent <br />programs which can have different starttimes, start <br />day cycles, and station run times Each program <br />shall have up to 8 starttimes per day for a total of 32 <br />possi bl e start times per day. The 4 programs shall be <br />allowed to overlap operation based on user defined <br />settings which control the number of simultaneous <br />stations per program and total for the controller. <br />The controller shall allow up to 5 valves to operate <br />simultaneously per program and total for the control- <br />ler including the master valve/pump start circuit. The <br />controller shall have an electronic, diagnostic circuit <br />breaker that shall sense a station with an electrical <br />overload or short circuit and shall bypass that station <br />and continue to operate all other stations. <br />The controller shall have a 365 -day calendar with <br />Permanent Day Off feature that allows a day(s) of the <br />weekto be turned offon any user selected program <br />Rain Bird Corporation <br />6991 E.

(Custom, Even, Odd, Odd31, & Cyclical). <br />Days setto Permanent Day Off shall override the <br />normal repeating schedule and not water on the <br />specified day(s) ofthe week The controller shall also <br />have Calendar Day Off feature allowing the user to <br />select up to 5 dates up to 365 -days in the future when <br />the controller shall not start programs. The controller <br />shall incorporate a Rain Delay feature allowing the <br />user to setthe number of days the controller should <br />remain off before automatically returning to the auto <br />mode. <br />The controller shall have Cycle+Soakwater manage- <br />mentsoftwarewhich is capable ofoperating each sta- <br />tion for amaximum cycletime and a minimum soak <br />time to reduce water run-off. The maximum cycle <br />time shall not extended by Seasonal Adjustment. <br />The controller shall incorporate a FloManager <br />feature providing real-time flow, power, and station <br />management. FloManager shall managethe number <br />of stations operating at any point in time based on <br />water source capacity, station flow rate, number of <br />valves per station; user -defined simultaneous stations <br />per program and forthe controller. FloManager shall <br />incorporate the abilityto provide station priorities to <br />determine the order in which stations shall operate. <br />The controller shall ignore the station number and <br />instead operate the highest priority stations first and <br />the lower priority stations last when FloManager <br />isenabled. FloManagershall bean option that is <br />disabled by default and the controller shall operate <br />zones in order of station number, started with the <br />lowest numbered zone set to irrigate and ending with <br />the highest number zone. <br />The controller shall offer Water Windows for each <br />program. This function sets the allowed start and <br />stop time where watering is allowed. Ifthewatering <br />cannot be completed bythe time the Water Window <br />closes, the stations with remaining run time are <br />paused and watering automatically resumes when <br />the Water Window opens the next time. <br />The controller shall offer a Flow Smart Module option <br />which adds flow sensing functionality. The Flow <br />Smart Module sensor input shall accept a direct <br />input from a flow sensor with no flow scaling device <br />required. <br />Rain Bird Corporation <br />970 West Sierra Madre Avenue <br />Azusa, CA 91702 <br />Phone: (626) 812-3400 <br />Fax: (626) 812-3411 <br />Specification Hotline <br />800-458-3005 (U.S. and Canada) <br />Module features shall include a FloWatch Learn Flow <br />Utility which learns the normal flow rate of each sta- <br />tion. Each timethe station runs HoWatch compares <br />the current real-time Flow rate to the learned rate <br />and takes user defined actions if high flow, low flow, <br />or no flow is detected. FloWatchshall automatically <br />determine the location ofthe flow problem and iso- <br />late the problem by turning offthe affected station or <br />mastervalve. FloWatchshall becompatible with both <br />normally closed and open master valves. A Manual <br />Master Valve Water Windows shall be provided to <br />coordinate daytime manual watering with the flow <br />sensing. This Water Windows shall offer programma- <br />ble days ofthe week and manual watering additional <br />flow rate. <br />The controller shall have an alarm indicator light on <br />the front panel visible through the outer door with <br />the door closed and locked. The alarm light shall <br />promptthe user to select the alarm softkeyto review <br />the alarm condition(s). <br />The controller shall be compatible with the ETC -LX ET <br />Manager Cartridgewhich upgradesthe controller to a <br />Smart controller. Aweather service signal received by <br />the cartridge shall automatically adjust the individual <br />controller program day cycles and station run times to <br />applythe minimum amount ofwater required based <br />on the current plant water requirements <br />The controller shall be compatible wfth the IQ' Platform <br />utilizing NCC Network Communication Cartridges, The <br />NCC Cartridge shall provide communkationwiththe IQ <br />Central Computer and other controllers via a variety of <br />communication options (Direct Connect Cable, Phone, <br />GPRS/Cellular, EthernMWiR, Radio, and IQNet <br />Communication Cable). The IQ Platform shall <br />provide remote computer control ofthe controller <br />providing automatic or manual program adjustments. <br />The controller shall offer an optional metal cabinet <br />and pedestal. <br />The controller shall be as manufactured by Rain Bird <br />Corporation. <br />Rain Bird International Inc. <br />1000 West Sierra Madre Ave. <br />Azusa, CA 91702 <br />Phone: (626) 963-9311 <br />Fax: (626) 852-7343 <br />The Intelligent Use ofWateC' <br />www.rainbird.com <br />D40030BEO <br />
