The ESP-LX Basic Controller offers basic irrigation programming options you need for commercial sites. The simple dial makes programming the controller straightforward, and easy-to-understand menu options guide you through set-up. The ESP-LX Basic is the first controller to offer both English and Spanish on one dial.

With 48-station capacity, four independent programs, and up to eight start times for each program, the ESP-LX Basic offers flexible scheduling options.

• A Seasonal Adjust feature is avail-able on all Rain Bird AC-powered controllers, allowing users to easi-ly adjust irrigation schedules to changing seasonal landscape water requirements. The ESP-LX Series Controllers also feature an automated Monthly Seasonal Adjust feature to help save water through automatic adjustments every month of the year.

• Water savings can also be optimized through daily irrigation schedule adjustments which fine-tune watering based on current weather. All ESP-LX series controllers can easily be upgrad-ed to include smart weather-based/ET or soil moisture irrigation control capability by adding the Rain Bird ET Manager Cartridge or a local rain sensor or soil moisture sensor.

• All Rain Bird controllers simplify conservation through a variety of flexible programming fea-tures. With the touch of a but-ton, the ESP-Me can recall a pre-viously saved “Contractor Default” irrigation program; the ESP-LX Series “Delayed Recall” feature automatically reverts to typical watering programs after a user-set time period.
