Rain Bird - ESP-ME3 - 4 Station Indoor/Outdoor Irrigation Controller - WiFi Ready

Rain Bird  |  SKU: ESP4ME3
$12698 $27395
The industrys most flexible irrigation controller solution that supports flow monitoring, LNK WiFi, and up to 22 stations using ESP Expansion Modules.

Upgrade the ESP-ME3 to a SMART controller with EPA WaterSense certification by adding the LNK WiFi module and a WR2 rain sensor. The LNK makes programming and monitoring easy through the enhanced Rain Bird app. For even greater water monitoring and protection from a broken irrigation system install a flow sensor. 

Features
  • 4 station base capability, expandable up to 22 stations using hot-swappable 3- or 6-station expansion modules (sold separately)
  • Comes with power plug and outdoor cabinet for indoor or outdoor installation.
  • WiFi Connectivity -- compatible with the new Rain Bird LNK WiFi module (sold separately). Simply plug in the module to access, operate and monitor your irrigation system from any mobile device.
  • Flow monitoring.  Use with wired flow sensor (sold separately) to monitor flows, get notifications and prevent water waste from broken pipes and leaks.
  • Easy to read, large backlit 3" screen that can be read in dark garages or sheds
  • 4 individual programs with 6 independent start times per program
  • One-Touch manual watering
  • Add a rain sensor (sold separately) to automatically prevent watering when it rains.
  • Non-volatile (100 year) storage memory saves current programming, no battery required
  • 10 year life lithium battery saves controller time and date during power outages
  • Delay watering up to 14 days
  • Water-saving, one-touch seasonal adjustment from 5% to 200%
  • Master valve/pump start circuit

Flexible Installation 

  • Configurable to 22 stations with additional 3 or 6 station modules for different sized jobs or future irrigation needs. Comes with power plug and outdoor cabinet for indoor or outdoor installation. 

Bypass Rain Sensor by Station

  • Bypass the rain sensor for stations under an eave or deck or in a greenhouse for consistent watering. 

Seasonal Adjust by Program

  • Save water by changing the seasonal adjust from 5% to 200% for corrected run times without changing the scheduled times. 

Alarm Notifications

  • 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. 

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

  • Simply save a default program and if the original watering schedule is overwritten in error, easily restore it in just two steps. 
Specs

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)
Electrical Specifications
  • Input required: 120 VAC ± 10%, 60Hz
  • Output: 25.5 VAC 1A
  • Master Valve/Pump Start Relay: Operating Voltage: 24VAC 50/60Hz, Max Coil Inrush: 11VA, Max Coil Holding: 5VA
  • Idle/Off power draw 0.06 amps at 120VAC
  • Power back-up not required. Nonvolatile memory permanently saves the current programming and a 10-year life lithium battery maintains the controllers time and date during power outages.
