Compact Rain-Bird Irrigation Controller for Indoor and Outdoor Use

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

Features: - WiFi Connectivity: By plugging in 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 for flow monitoring and notifications, helping to save water and protect against property damage. - Bypass Rain Sensor by Station: Users can bypass the rain sensor for stations under an eave or deck or in a greenhouse to ensure consistent watering. - Seasonal Adjust by Program: Users can save water by changing the seasonal adjust from 5% to 200% for corrected run times without changing 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: Users can save a default program and easily restore it in just two steps if the original watering schedule is overwritten in error.

Programming Recommendations: 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)

The ESP-ME3 provides the station count options customers need, with 4 to 22 stations, and can be installed on residential and light commercial sites. Users can add station modules when expanding irrigation without removing or even powering down the controller.

Upgrade the ESP-ME3 to a SMART controller by adding the LNK WiFi module and a WR2 rain sensor. The LNK makes programming and monitoring easy through the enhanced Rain Bird app.

The controller is configurable 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.

Users will be alerted of system issues, including electrical, programming, or high flow (when using a flow sensor), through 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 text and symbols make the color-coded dial positions easy to understand, and the large 3" back-lit screen is clear to read in dark garages or sheds.
