Valves (Stations); Advanced Station Settings And Features - Rain Bird ESP-LXIVM Series Installation, Programming & Operation Manual

Valves (Stations)

Valves, or stations are controlled and operate according to irrigation
programs.
The controller is programmed to send signals to an LX-IVM-Valve,
which opens and closes on a timed schedule. For example, the con-
troller sends the fi rst LX-IVM-Valve a signal to open, allowing irri-
gation. When that program is fi nished, the controller shuts off that
valve and sends a signal for the second LX-IVM-Valve to open and
so on.

Advanced Station Settings and Features

The ESP-LXIVM has many powerful Advanced station settings,
including:
Cycle+Soak
Allows water to be applied to stations intermittently and is useful for
locations such as hillsides which can be diffi cult to irrigate eff ectively.
See "Cycle+Soak™" on page 33 for more details.
Inter Station Delay
Delays the start of the next station in a program after the previous
station completes. See "Inter-Station Delay" on page 36 for more
details.
SimulStations
Allows you to operate multiple stations at the same time. See "Set
SimulStations for Program" on page 37 for more details.
