Rain Bird ESP-LXME Controller Programing & Operational Questions.
I have just completed my system at my house. I'm using a Rain Bird ESP-LXME controller with 3 12 station modules installed using 30 of the 36 zones. I noticed my zones are not running in numerical order. Does it run zones based on run times? The other question is with the SimulStations feature, can I pick which zones to run simultaneously? Like can I specify zone 5 and 12 run at the same time? The reason I'd like to specify is that I have some zones with fewer heads that could be run at the same time but most zones use all available psi/gpm. Thanks of the help.
Take a look HERE . Page 3 give a description of different functions.
"NOTE: The ESP-LXME’s SimulStations feature allows you to operate
multiple stations at the same time. See section D for more details.
NOTE: The order which stations are selected to operate depends
on the following settings:
• Station priorities • Station flow rate (FloManager™)
• Station run times • POC flow rate (FlowManager)
• Station program assignment • SimulStation™ settings"
On the order which stations are selected to operate, does the longest run time go first or last?
Priorities are manually assigned. Check out page 45.
