Rain Bird’s ESP-LX Modular Controller provides convenient, flexible irrigation system control for commercial and large residential sites. Now, Rain Bird is taking the ESP-LX Modular to the next level by offering an all-new 12-station module that gives the controller the ability to accommodate up to 48 stations.
“Prior to the launch of the new 12-station module, the ESP-LX Modular could be configured with a maximum of 32 stations using 4- and 8-station modules,” said Christen Brooker, product manager for Rain Bird controllers. “With the new 12-station module now making it possible to expand the ESP-LX Modular up to 48 stations, the controller is an even better choice for larger commercial properties.”
Installing the 12-station module is as simple as snapping it into place in one of the four module slots inside the ESP-LX Modular’s cabinet. The 12-station module can be mixed and matched with the ESP-LX Modular’s 4- and 8-station modules to provide the optimum number of zones for any application. After each 12-station module is installed, it provides 12 stations and one common terminal. Once the module is installed, it reflashes the ESP-LX Modular’s firmware, providing 12-station compatibility along with other new features including Dynamic Station Numbering and a module status screen under the controller’s “Special Feature” dial position.
“The Dynamic Station Numbering feature eliminates station numbering gaps,” Brooker explained. “Stations are always numbered sequentially in module slot order with no numbering gaps, regardless of whether the modules are installed in any particular order. This makes it far easier for contractors to program each station with less chance for errors caused by installing the modules out of sequential order.”
