The Rain Bird ESP-9V is a rugged and fully waterproof 4-station irrigation controller, designed for reliable operation even in the most demanding outdoor conditions. Its waterproof construction makes it suitable for installation inside a valve box, providing protection against water, dust, dirt, and humidity.
The large LCD display and intuitive user interface make programming quick and easy. The controller provides 6 start times per zone, while run times, start times, and watering days can be customized independently for each zone.
The ESP-9V operates for at least two full years with two 9-volt alkaline batteries, or a minimum of one year with one 9-volt alkaline battery. Its non-volatile 100-year program memory preserves programmed schedules even when the batteries are depleted or replaced.
The Automatic Zone Stacking function ensures that only one valve operates at a time, while Contractor Rapid Programming™ allows the start times and watering days from Zone 1 to be automatically copied to all remaining zones during initial setup.
