  • SOLUTION: Swap faulty station wire on controller terminal block with known working station wire. If the faulty valve still does not work on the known working connection then the solenoid coil is faulty. The panel may need to be repaired.


Fuse blows: 

CAUSE: Incorrect wiring or bad wiring connection.

  • SOLUTION: Check wiring and connections.


No automatic start:

CAUSE: Incorrect programming or blown fuse.

  • SOLUTION: If unit works manually check programming. Check fuse and field wiring.


Buttons on keypad not responding:  

CAUSE: Short on keypad or programming not correct.

  • SOLUTION: Check instruction book to ensure programming correct. If keypad still not responding return panel to supplier or manufacturer.


System coming on at random: 

CAUSE: Too many start times entered on automatic programs.

  • SOLUTION: Check number of start times entered on each program. If programming is correct return panel to supplier or manufacturer.


More than one station coming on at once: 

CAUSE: Damaged main output driver chip.

  • SOLUTION: Check wiring and swap faulty station wire(s) on the controller terminal block with known working station wire. If the same outputs are still locked on, return panel to supplier or manufacturer.


Pump start chattering:

CAUSE: Faulty relay or pump contactor.

  • SOLUTION: Electrician to check voltage on pump relay or contactor.

Watering icon on the display is flashing, but the system is not watering:

CAUSE: Water supply issue

  • SOLUTION: Verify there is no disruption to the main water line and that all other water supply lines are open and functioning.

CAUSE: Wiring is loose, not properly connected or damaged. 

  • SOLUTION: Check that wiring is securely connected at the controller and in the field. Check for damage and replace if necessary. Check wiring connections and replace with watertight splice connectors if needed.


Automatic and/or Manual Watering will not start:

CAUSE: Connected rain sensor may be activated

  • SOLUTION: Let the rain sensor dry out or else disconnect it from the controller terminal block and replace it with a jumper wire connecting the two SENS terminals. 

CAUSE: Jumper wire connecting the two SENS terminals may be missing or damaged.

  • SOLUTION:Jumper the two SENS terminals on the controller terminal block by connecting them with a short length of 14 to 18 gauge wire. 

CAUSE: Solenoid or master valve is shorted.

  • SOLUTION: Confirm short message on the display. Correct the issue in the wiring. Clear the message by testing watering at the shorted valve or by pressing the right arrow button.


Excessive watering:

CAUSE: Programs may have multiple start times that were set unintentionally

  • SOLUTION: Programs (A, B or C) only require a single start time in order to run. Separate start times are not required for each valve.


Display is blank:

CAUSE: Power not reaching the controller.

  • SOLUTION: Verify the main AC power supply is securely plugged in or connected and working properly. Verify the orange power supply wires are connected to the controller “24 VAC” terminals.


Display is frozen and controller will not accept programming:

CAUSE: An electrical surge may have interfered with the controller’s electronics.

  • SOLUTION: Unplug the controller for 2 minutes, then plug it back in. If there is no permanent damage, the controller should accept programming and resume normal operation. If not, Press and release the RESET button.

***THIS CONTROLLER HAS BUILT IN ERROR MESSAGES - review manual for error message explanations


Display shows a program is active, but system isn’t watering:

CAUSE: Water source not supplying water.

  • SOLUTION: Verify there is no disruption to the main water line and that all other water supply lines are open and functioning properly.

CAUSE: Wiring is loose or not properly connected.

  • SOLUTION: Check that field wiring and master valve or pump start relay wiring is securely connected at the controller and in the field. 

CAUSE: Field wires are corroded or damaged.

  • SOLUTION: Check field wiring for damage and replace if necessary. Check wiring connections and replace with watertight splice connectors if needed. 

CAUSE: Loss of AC power

  • SOLUTION: When there is a power loss and a 9 volt battery is installed, the system does not irrigate but programs show as remaining active.


NO AC message on display:

CAUSE: No Power detected.

  • SOLUTION: Check circuit breaker and that unit is plugged into socket or properly connected to power source.

CAUSE: Controller may be plugged into a GFCI outlet or an outlet that is wired to a GFCI outlet. 

  • SOLUTION: Check power to the outlet or reset the circuit breaker.


It just rained and the alarm light is not illuminated:

CAUSE: This is normal operation. The ESP-ME3 does not consider the interruption of irrigation due to rainfall as an alarm condition.

  • SOLUTION: This is normal operation.


Programmed schedules do not start:

CAUSE: Connected rain sensor may be activated.

  • SOLUTION: Set Rain Sensor to Sensor OFF to ignore the rain sensor. If watering resumes, the sensor is operating properly and no further correction is needed. 

CAUSE: Connected rain sensor may not be operating properly.

  • SOLUTION: Let the rain sensor dry out, or disconnect it from the controller terminal strip and replace it with a jumper wire connecting the two SENS terminals, or set to Sensor OFF.

CAUSE: If no rain sensor is connected, the jumper wire connecting the two SENS terminals on the terminal strip may be missing or damaged. 

  • SOLUTION: Move dial position to Weather Sensors and set to Sensor OFF.


Too much irrigation:

CAUSE: Multiple Start Times in the same program.

  • SOLUTION: Separate start times are not required for each valve. A program only requires single start time in order to run all stations in that program.

CAUSE: Multiple programs are running at the same time.

  • SOLUTION: Review programming to assure that the same Station is not active in multiple Programs.

CAUSE: Valve is malfunctioning.

  • SOLUTION: Check to see if the ALARM light on the controller is lit solid, then repair or replace the valve if necessary.

CAUSE: Seasonal Adjust setting is too high.

  • SOLUTION: Set Seasonal Adjust to 100%


Display is blank or frozen, the controller will not accept programming or is operating abnormally:

CAUSE: Power not reaching the controller.

  • SOLUTION: Verify the main AC power supply is securely plugged in or connected and working properly

CAUSE: Controller needs to be reset.

  • SOLUTION: Press the Reset Button. For details see “Reset Button” section.

CAUSE: An electrical surge may have interfered with the controller’s electronics.

  • SOLUTION: Unplug the controller for 2 minutes, then plug it back in. If there is no permanent damage, the controller should accept programming and resume normal operation. 


Automatic error detection indicates a problem by ALARM LED and an error message on display:

CAUSE: Short circuit or overload condition in valve, master valve or pump start relay wiring.

  • SOLUTION: Identify and repair the fault in the wiring. Refer to compatible pump start relays. For details see “Connect Pump Start Relay” section.


LED is flashing or solidly illuminated but I see no message on the LCD:

CAUSE: Dial not in AUTO RUN position.

  • SOLUTION: Turn dial to AUTO RUN position. Push Reset button or power cycle the controller.
