Questions and answers
When set on auto there is MV ERR reading. What does it mean and how do I get rid of it.
The "MV ERR" reading on the Rain Bird ESP-4 indicates a fault in the master valve (MV) or pump circuit. This error is usually caused by a short circuit in the wiring.
To resolve it:
1. Identify and repair the fault in the MV or pump wiring.
2. Set the dial to AUTO.
3. Press the ADVANCE button to clear the Alarm LED.
