Products




Primary Applications:
The power of an advanced water-management tool in an easy-to-use package. The ESP-MC is a commercial-duty controller for the basic or sophisticated user.

Features and Benefits:
  • 12-hour watering duration for any or all stations to aid in drip compatibility.
  • Four independent programs, with eight start times each, allow mixed irrigation applications in a single controller.
  • Two master valve terminals, one programmable by station, to provide better irrigation control.
  • Programs can overlap to maximize hydraulic efficiency and minimize watering time.
  • 365-day calendar with leap year intelligence for one-time date and time setting.
  • Event-Day-Off option to set any day of the month as a non-watering day for all programs.
  • Programmable rain delay enables system to stay off for up to 99 days with auto-restart.
  • Upgradable to MAXICOM® satellite.
  • Independent day cycle by program.
  • Water budget by program provides adjustments from 0 to 300% in 1% increments (up to a maximum run time of 16 hours).
  • Rain Bird's exclusive Cycle+Soak™ by station allows the total station run time to be split into usable cycles, minimizing puddling and runoff.
  • Programmable-Delay-Between-Stations provides time for water well recovery, or time for slow-closing valves to turn off completely.
  • Manual watering by station or program.
  • Sensor inputs and override switch with LED to indicate when irrigation is suspended by the sensor.
  • Non-volatile, 100-year memory holds program, date, and time during power outages.
  • Diagnostic circuit breaker identifies electrical shorts, provides a "FAULT" message on the LCD screen, skips shorted stations, and continues irrigation cycle.
  • Rapid Station Test Routine (RASTER™) enables the controller to diagnose and troubleshoot field wiring, solenoid, and controller problems quickly and easily.
  • Mounting plate and mounting bracket provide fast, secure, vandal-resistant installation
  • Surge protection, backed by a 3-year lightning warranty, makes the controller reliable and robust under extreme field conditions.
  • Quick-connect terminal strip for fast installation.
  • Universal remote ready: includes pre-installed connectors for addition of remote products.
  • Heavy-duty transformer for simultaneous operation of up to nine 24VAC, 7VA solenoids.
  • Removable, battery-programmable front panel for the convenience of both programming instruction and programming prior to installation.
  • Available in 3 enclosures:
  • Powder coated wall-mount steel cabinet
  • NEMA-4 rated wall-mount plastic cabinet
  • Stainless Steel Pedestal
