(This may be a second reply...if the first one shows up.) Alex; The circuit also has my outdoor lighting transformer and my irrigation well pump on it. I checked the temp again today and was able to leave my hand on the transformer...it was quite warm...but seemingly not as HOT as it had been getting for some reason. I did check SW for a new ESP-6 and while the $119.00 price was very good -- especially as RB wants that much plus for a rebuilt -- I opted for a $105 deal here in town for a new one...

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> OK So let me get this straight...One of your zones stays on even with the controller at the "Off" position? Right? It could be a possibility that either your soleniod is "dead" for some reason(we have lots of those around here) or you could have debris in your diaphram. Let me know if I got that right....

Alex... I don't want to talk myself (or you) out of the possibility of a lightning strike, what is there besides the controller that could have failed at this point (and recall it's been replaced) ? I just went out and yes, all the solenoids have pigtails above them (including the one I replaced a few months back). It's just the one zone that is not working unless I turn it on mannally by backing off the solenoid as well. My original problem of "no power" has been removed by the changing of the ...
Alex and others (?).... I went the route of putting a new controller in place (got a pretty good deal) and the system "almost" works now. It runs zones 1-2, Zone 3 errors, and zones 4-6 are okay. Checked the controller by moving zone 3 wire to another post and it errored there too so the new controller is okay. I can turn on zone 3 with power on the system by backing off the valve solenoid a turn or two manually. Can't get it on any other way. The pump start relay does open momentarily and close...
..any more ideas? thanks~!
Yes on both. It's a 1.5 amp fuse...the original was the one that blew first after two years. The 1.25 amp option is scratched out by the installer. Power is same as it always has been. Thanks, Bob <BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Bob, Do you have the correct power to the controller? Do you have the correct fuse? Check in the manual to see if you are using the right fuse. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=...
Thanks for the response Alex. Switch in correct postion. Rain sensor cleaned and working. Blowing fuses as fast as I can put them in there.... Bob
I appreciated all the earlier help on my valves so I'm back with another problem. At my Rainbird ESP-6 Controller, I get a power off notice. Power appears to be good to the until as the ground fault is set and the rain sensor is working. I've pretty much ruled out lightening. The transformer (?) gets real hot so I am also reading that as power is available to the unit. Where do I go from here? Many thanks, Bob
