Sensor System Wiring

NOTE: Complete this section only if your system has
an automatic rain sensor.
If you are not connecting a sensor to the controller,
make sure the supplied jumper is installed on the
two SENSOR terminals on the controller’s vertical
terminal strip.
Most sensors have two wires or two terminals designed to
be connected to the valve common wire. Instead of
connecting to the valve common wire, connect these wires
or terminals to the “SENSOR” terminals on the ESP-LX+ or
LXi+ controller.
Route the pair of wires out of the controller cabinet to the
sensor system.
.ollow the sensor system’s directions for placing and
connecting moisture probes, setting the rain shutoff level,
and making final adjustments.
