Before You Begin - Rain Bird ESP-LX Plus Series Installation, Connection And Settings

Before You Begin:

Please refer to your ESP-LX PLUS Installation,
Programming, & Operation guide for answers to questions
regarding installation and connection (valve wires, etc) of
an ESP-LX PLUS Controller.
NOTE: When Setting the Time and Date on
startup of the ESP-LX PLUS SITE Controller,
the ESP-LX PLUS SITE defaults will be MON
12:00 26 MAY 03. Dates earlier than this can
not be set in this controller. ESP-LX PLUS
Controllers (per the manual) default to SUN
12:00 1 JAN 95.
Installation instructions in this addendum assume conver-
sion of an existing ESP-LX PLUS Controller to an ESP-LX
PLUS SITE Controller using the ESP-LX PLUS SITE
Module Kit. If purchase of a new ESP-LX PLUS SITE
Controller was made, instructions specific to the Module
Kit (transformer replacement, etc) may be ignored.
Warnings:
Important: The ESP-LX PLUS SITE Controller is
designed to operate up to 4 valve stations
plus one Master Valve, simultaneously. It is
necessary that only one Rain Bird valve sole-
noid be connected to each valve station in the
controller.
Important: Before installing the Site Satellite
Maxicom Interface Site Board (MISB) cabinet,
make sure that the area around you is free
from dirt and dust and that your hands and
arms are clean. This will avoid contamination
of the controller's internal parts.
Warning! Don't let water or other liquids come
in contact with any part inside the controller
cabinet.
Caution: This controller contains a Lithium bat-
tery. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrect-
ly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the manu-
facturer. Dispose of used battery according to
the manufacturer's instructions
