(The factory default program is in effect: Program A at 8:00AM.) Enter at least one start time and set the dial back to AUTO. Turn the dial to “AUTO” to finalize the master valve program by station.Īccording to the manual when the alarm LED is lit the possible causes could be:Ĭorrections recommended for items listed above are:ġ. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all necessary stations.ħ. Press the Up or Down buttons to select the next station and press the ADVANCE button.Ħ. This toggles between selecting the station number and MV settings.ĥ. Press “OFF” or “ON” to assign master valve/pump operation to the specific station.ī. The display will then show the station number, “MV” and a flashing “ON” or “OFF” (Default is ON for all stations).Ĥ. ![]() Press and hold the MANUAL START/ADVANCE button for three (3) seconds until “SET MV” is displayed briefly.ģ. The default is for all stations to have the MV circuit ON. In some systems, a booster pump is connected to the MV terminal and needs to operate with certain zones and not in others. The controller has one master valve (MV) terminal on its main Module 0. Here’s the info from the manual on the master valve: I would also manually start a station and test the voltage to the relay. I would remove the jumper wires and use the timer to turn off the stations you’re not using. Do you have to keep the jumper on one module? There is a container against the wall with two aluminum painted green nursery stakes which were touching the relay wires would that have caused a short? i have now taped the wires together and fastened them to the wall board using electrical staples with a shield to protect the insulation of the wires. It worked perfectly for a year now I have the alarm. i wire nutted the field common to the jumper and the common from the pump start relay when I first installed the controller. I followed your diagram on page three of the manual, I was follow the remarks about putting the jumper to an open station which on my controller is station five, so my jumper is from station three to the next module station five, I also had to put a common wire from the ten strand cable to the common terminal. I check the wires from the controller to the pump start relay they appear to be as I installed them a year ago, no burn signs. i wired the controller over a year ago have had to replace three solenoids due to the age of the valves, over fifteen years age. I have an error message about a short in the master valve or pump start not allowing the controller to water. There is a well pump being controlled by the controller. I have a customer who has the Rainbird ESP-Me controller with two modules. That way you should be able to water the rest of your system until you’re able to repair the sprinkler valve. If this works, reset the timer and disconnect the wire from the station terminal. Hopefully using this method you’ll be able to find the faulty valve because the valve should throw an error message. To cancel valve currently selected to run, turn the dial to OFF for three seconds. The valve number blinks in the display to show that it is running.ĥ. Press MANUAL START / ADVANCE to start the selected valve.Ĥ. This run time will then become part of the program.ģ. If the valve has a zero run time, either select a different program or press the Up arrow to set a non-zero run time. Make sure the valve has a run time greater than 0 in the selected program.Ģ. Turn the dial to the valve number you want to run. Here’s the instructions from the manual:ġ. ![]() My advice would be to manually water each sprinkler zone and see if one station throws the error. When you run the test valves feature is there a sprinkler zone that doesn’t water? It’s a little weird that you can run the test valves and everything works fine. Usually the error message in the display points to one valve. My experience is when a timer throws an error message in the display it’s usually a bad solenoid on a sprinkler valve. If this is not desired, press the Back button to return to watering by Custom Days. ![]() NOTE: With Sunday selected, press the Forward button to enter and activate Cyclic Watering (see the Advanced Programming section). Press Forward or Back button at any time to move the cursor to the previous or next day. Press Minus or Plus button to set the selected (blinking) day as either ON or OFF, and to automatically move to the next day.ģ. NOTE: The OFF Position for any start time is between 11:45 PM and 12:00 AM.Ģ. To turn off a start time press Minus button until 12:00 AM (00:00 in 24 HR), then press Minus button one more time for OFF. Press Forward button to set additional Start Times.ĥ. Press Plus or Minus button to set the selected Start Time (ensure the AM/PM setting is correct).Ĥ. Press Back or Forward button to select an available Start Time.ģ. Press Program Select to choose the desired Program (if necessary).Ģ. The part number you listed is for a transformer for the ESP-Me controller.
