Rain Bird® ESP Modular Irrigation
Controllers
Maximize Your Productivity
The ESP Modular
Irrigation Controller is designed to maximize your productivity by
saving you time and money. Easily expand from a 4 station base model
to 13 stations with 3 station hot-swappable modules, which can be
added without powering down the controller.
Another example of Rain Bird's legendary reliability, the ESP
Modular offers industry-leading surge protection, temperature
tolerance and rugged construction. It improves upon Rain Bird's
already easy-to-use ESP style of programming with a large, easy to
read display and intuitive programming sequence, making this the
most user-friendly irrigation controller in its class. The spacious
cabinet and terminal locations make installation and wire-up a snap.
And features like the Contractor Default™ program make service calls
more efficient and earn you more money by taking less time! The Rain
Bird ESP Modular: Maximizing your Productivity.
