32
ESP-Me Controller
Possible Cause
Water source not supplying water.
Wiring is loose or not properly
connected.
Field wires are corroded or damaged.
Loss of AC power.
No Power detected.
Controller may be plugged into a GFI
outlet or an outlet that is wired to a GFI
outlet.
This is normal operation. The ESP-Me
does not consider the interruption
of irrigation due to rainfall an alarm
condition.
Possible Solution
Verify there is no disruption to the main water line and
that all other water supply lines are open and functioning
properly.
Check that field wiring and master valve or pump start
relay wiring is securely connected at the controller and in
the field.
Check field wiring for damage and replace if necessary.
Check wiring connections and replace with watertight
splice connectors if needed.
When there is a power loss and a 9 volt battery is
installed, the system does not irrigate but programs show
as remaining active.
Check circuit breaker and that unit is plugged into socket
or properly connected to power source.
Check power to the outlet or reset the circuit breaker.
This is normal operation.
