Operating The Controller; Operate Controller Automatically; Set Controller To Automatic Operation - Rain Bird ESP-6LX+ Installation, Programming, And Operation Manual

OPERATING THE CONTROLLER

After you have programmed the controller, you will normally set
it to operate automatically.
You can also manually run one or more programs, and you can
manually operate a single station or several stations.

Operate Controller Automatically

Turn the dial to “AUTO.” The controller runs the sprinklers
according to the programs you have set.
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 O..
(see step 2).
To turn off the controller and prevent all watering, turn the
program dial to “O...” The display will show the current
day and time, and the right-hand minute digit will flash,
indicating that the controller has been turned off.
You can use the “O..” setting to suspend watering during
rainy periods, seasonal shutdown, or system maintenance.

In addition, you can run a test program to test the operation of
all stations on the system. To operate automatically, run
programs or stations manually, or run a test program, the
controller should be connected to a 120 volt AC power source
(230 volt AC for international models).
