ELECTROMECHANICAL CONTROLLERS ESP Modular: ESP-4M, ESP-4Mi The controller shall be of a hybrid type that combines electro-mechanical and microelectronic circuitry capable of fully automatic or manual operation. The controller shall be housed in a wall-mountable, weather resistant plastic cabinet with a key-locking cabinet door (outdoor models only) suitable for either indoor or outdoor installation. The controller shall have a base unit with 4 stations as well as three expansion slots capable of receiving station modules of three stations each to create a controller of up to 13 stations. Station 13 shall be called an “auxiliary station” and shall have the capability of bypassing an active rain sensor or of functioning as a normal station output. Station timing shall be from 0 minutes to 6 hours. Run time resolution shall be in 1-minute increments from 0 to 59 minutes and 10 minutes from 1 to 6 hours. The LCD shall display No Run Times or equivalent icon for 230 VAC models if no run time has been entered for any station in any program. The controller shall have three separate and independent programs which can have different start times, station timing and watering days. Each program shall have up to 4 start times available. The controller shall stack multiple start times in sequence to prevent hydraulic overload. The LCD shall display No Start Times or the equivalent icon for 230VAC models if no start time has been entered for any program. The controller shall be capable of operating two 24 VAC solenoid valves per station plus a master valve or remote pump start relay. The controller shall operate on 120 VAC± 20% at 60Hz (230VAC ± 20% at 50Hz for international models). The controller shall have an electronic, diagnostic circuit breaker that shall sense a station with an electrical overload or short circuit and shall bypass that station and continue operating all other stations. The controller shall have a 365-day calendar with a permanent day off fea
