Features & Benefits

The result of 40 years of expertise and thousands of installed units, the ESP-LXME is a modern, reliable, direct-wired controller. Large display, simple-to-use "hands-off" auto-dial, English/Spanish language support, and extra simple programming, the ESP-LXME modular design is flexible enough to cover small and large operations.

The ESP-LXME Enhanced Controller offers flow sensing and management with modular station capacity from 8 to 48 stations.

ESPLXM-SM Station Modules install in module slots 1 through 4 and provide wiring terminals for irrigation valves and a valve common.
Each ESP-LXME controller comes standard with either an 8 or 12 station module. This can easily be expanded by adding one to three additional station Expansion Modules.
Each station module adds 8 additional stations to increase capacity to a maximum of 48 stations.
Station Modules can be identified by the blue stripe on the middle of the module.

Installation

Step One	Step Two

Orient the connector on the bottom of the station module with the connection socket in Slot 1 on the controller backplane. (An ESP-LXM-SM8 is shown.)	Carefully fasten the module onto the controller backplane, pressing firmly until it snaps into place. The red light on the module will flash on and off once if the module is installed correctly. If the light does not flash once, verify the module is seated correctly
