Smart Irrigation Timer 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, a flow sensor can be installed.

Key Features:

WiFi Connectivity: By simply 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: The rain sensor can be bypassed for stations under an eave, deck, or in a greenhouse, ensuring consistent watering.

Seasonal Adjust by Program: Water can be saved 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, just press and hold the right arrow button to start manually watering the current program.

Contractor Default: A default program can be saved, and if the original watering schedule is overwritten in error, it can be easily restored in just two steps.

Programming Recommendation: 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)

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

The ESP-ME3 can be upgraded 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 can be configured 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.
