I see a message on the DISPLAY “14NOMOD” what does it mean?
It means that you have there is no module installed for the station. For example, Station 14 would be located in the 2nd bay. Bay 1 is for stations 5-10. Bay 2 is for stations 11-16. So, you either have a 3 station module installed in Bay 2 or no module at all.
My Alert light is flashing, what does it mean?
It means that you have a programming error. Either there are: no start times, no run times, or no watering days selected. The controller ships from the factory with the following settings:
1 Start time of 8:00 AM, 10 minute run time for the first 4 stations (base module) and all days set to ON.
My Alert light is illuminated and not flashing, what does it mean?
It means that you have an electrical error. Pay attention to the DISPLAY screen which will scroll a message across it indicating what error condition exists. The controller will automatically skip the affected station and proceed to the next station. To clear an alert condition, make sure the dial is in the AUTO and press and hold the right arrow key for 3 seconds. (Arrow with teardrop shape)
How do I run a manual program?
Turn dial to the Run Manual Program position and press and hold the right arrow key (with teardrop shape) OR
A: With dial in the AUTO RUN position, press and hold the right arrow key (with teardrop shape) for 3 seconds. The program that has the letter shown on the DISPLAY will run.
How do I run a specific station?
Turn the dial to the Run Manual Station position. Use the arrow keys to choosestation. Use – and + keys to adjust the run time. Press and hold the right arrow (with teardrop shape) for 3 seconds.
What settings are reset if I do a factory reset?
Start/Run Times, watering days, Rain Sensor status is returned to Bypass, Delay watering status is reset to 0 days, Seasonal Adjust % is reset to 100% of program values.
What settings are not reset if I do a factory reset?
Date/Time is the only setting not reset to the factory ship settings.
I replaced my old ESPM with the new ESPME, can I reuse my 3 station module?
Yes, 3 station modules are compatible with the new ESPME.
Do I need to have a 9V battery installed to backup anything?
No. All Date/Time information is backed up internally on a long life lithium battery.
The programs and settings are backed upon internal memory. So, no battery is required.
Can the ESPME run more than 1 program at a time?
No.
