Rainbird ESPME3 Indoor Outdoor Lawn Irrigation Timer (+ WiFi + 1 Module)

The most flexible irrigation controller solution in the industry, the ESP-ME3, supports flow monitoring, LNK WiFi, and up to 22 stations. To enhance water monitoring and protect against a broken irrigation system, install a flow sensor.

Features:

WiFi Connectivity: By connecting a Rain Bird LNK WiFi Module (sold separately), users can access, operate, and monitor their irrigation system from anywhere. Internet-based weather information is used to make daily adjustments to the irrigation schedule, saving up to 30% in water.

Flow Monitoring: The controller is compatible with multiple sizes and makes of wired flow sensors, allowing for flow monitoring and notifications to save water and protect against property damage.

Bypass Rain Sensor by Station: The rain sensor can be bypassed for stations under an eave, deck, or in a greenhouse, ensuring consistent watering.

Seasonal Adjust by Program: Water savings can be achieved by changing the seasonal adjust from 5% to 200% for corrected run times without modifying the scheduled times.

One-Touch Watering: With the dial in the AUTO position, users can press and hold the right arrow button to start manually watering the current program.

Contractor Default: A default program can be saved and easily restored in just two steps if the original watering schedule is overwritten in error.

Programming Recommendation: Rain Bird recommends that the maximum irrigation zone cycle time be less than the time required for runoff to begin and that there be adequate soak time before the next irrigation cycle of that same zone begins again.

Operating Specifications: - Station timing: 1 minute to 6 hours - Seasonal Adjust: 5% to 200% - Max operating temperature: 149°F (65°C)

With 4 to 22 stations, the ESP-ME3 provides the station count options customers need, allowing for installation on both residential and light commercial sites. Additional station modules can be added when expanding the irrigation system without removing or powering down the controller.

The ESP-ME3 can be upgraded to a SMART controller by adding the LNK WiFi module and a WR2 rain sensor, making programming and monitoring easy through the enhanced Rain Bird app.

The controller can be configured to 22 stations with additional 3 or 6 station modules for different sized jobs or future irrigation needs. It comes with a power plug and outdoor cabinet for indoor or outdoor installation.

System issues, including electrical, programming, or high flow (when using a flow sensor), can trigger a red LED and scrolling messages, coupled with mobile device alerts when used with the LNK WiFi Module and the Rain Bird app.

The large, color-coded dial positions and a large 3" back-lit screen make the controller easy to understand and read, even in dark garages or sheds.
