Before You Begin:

Please refer to your ESP-LX PLUS Installation,

Programming, & Operation guide for answers to questions

regarding installation and connection (valve wires, etc) of

an ESP-LX PLUS Controller.

NOTE: When Setting the Time and Date on

startup of the ESP-LX PLUS SITE Controller,

the ESP-LX PLUS SITE defaults will be MON

12:00 26 MAY 03. Dates earlier than this can

not be set in this controller. ESP-LX PLUS

Controllers (per the manual) default to SUN

12:00 1 JAN 95.

Installation instructions in this addendum assume conver-

sion of an existing ESP-LX PLUS Controller to an ESP-LX

PLUS SITE Controller using the ESP-LX PLUS SITE

Module Kit. If purchase of a new ESP-LX PLUS SITE

Controller was made, instructions specific to the Module

Kit (transformer replacement, etc) may be ignored.

Warnings:

Important: The ESP-LX PLUS SITE Controller is

designed to operate up to 4 valve stations

plus one Master Valve, simultaneously. It is

necessary that only one Rain Bird valve sole-

noid be connected to each valve station in the

controller.

Important: Before installing the Site Satellite

Maxicom Interface Site Board (MISB) cabinet,

make sure that the area around you is free

from dirt and dust and that your hands and

arms are clean. This will avoid contamination

of the controller’s internal parts.

Warning! Don’t let water or other liquids come

in contact with any part inside the controller

cabinet.

Caution: This controller contains a Lithium bat-

tery. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrect-

ly replaced. Replace only with the same or

equivalent type recommended by the manu-

facturer. Dispose of used battery according to

the manufacturer’s instructions

Overview of the Maxicom Interface

Site Board (MISB)

To convert your ESP-LX PLUS stand-alone controller into

an ESP-LX PLUS SITE Satellite controller, you must install

the Maxicom Interface Site Board Cabinet. Once installed,

the MISB allows your ESP-LX PLUS controller to function

as either an ESP-LX PLUS SITE controller in conjunction

with the Maxicom2® Irrigation System, or as a stand-alone

unit.

ESP-LX Plus Site Satellite Controller Addendum 3

INSTALLATION

Select Location

Follow these Guidelines to select a location for the

Maxicom Interface Site Board (MISB) Cabinet.

Note: The MISB Cabinet is the same cabinet as

used for the ESP-LX PLUS Controller. Please

refer to your ESP-LX PLUS Installation,

Programming, & Operation guide for detailed

description of the mounting of the cabinet.

The MISB Cabinet requires a data and power cable con-

necting it to the ESP-LX PLUS Controller. This cable

includes 36" (91,4 cm) length designed to be outside the

two cabinets. Allow enough length for vertical passage

through electrical conduit prior to determining horizontal

length available.

It is recommended that you place the MISB cabinet not

more than 15" (38,1 cm) horizontally from the ESP-LX

PLUS controller cabinet. Allow at least 91⁄2" (24,2 cm) of

horizontal clearance between the two cabinets, so the

hinged cabinet door can swing fully open to the left.

Ensure at least 63⁄4" (17,2 cm) of clearance above the cab-

inet door so the hinge pin can be removed to service the

controller.

Cabinet Installation

Mount the MISB Cabinet as described on pages 50 and

51 of the ESP-LX PLUS Installation, Programming, &

Operation guide.

Transformer Replacement

Remove the LX PLUS Door and Face Panel as described

on pages 48 and 49 of the ESP-LX PLUS Installation,

Programming, & Operation guide.

WARNING: To prevent electrical shock, make

sure all supply power is OFF before replacing

the transformer.

Remove the existing power

transformer

You must replace the existing power transformer in the

ESP-LX PLUS controller with the new power transformer

included with the Module Kit. First, you will remove the

existing transformer:

• Disconnect the transformer from the ESP-LX PLUS ter-

minal board.

• With the door and face panel removed, locate the high-

voltage compartment in the lower left corner of the

controller cabinet.

• Remove the screw on the right edge of the compart-

ment cover, then swing the cover open to expose the

transformer’s primary input wires.

• Disconnect the transformer’s primary input wires.

• Locate the nut and washer that secure the existing

transformer.

• Use a hammer and screwdriver to tap on the nut to

loosen it. Once loose, remove the nut and washer from

the power transformer’s nipple. Retain the nut and

washer.

• Push the power transformer’s nipple into the cabinet

until it clears the hole. Lift the power transformer out of

the controller cabinet.

ESP-LX Plus Site Satellite Controller Addendum6

Installing the new transformer

Now you are ready to install the new power transformer.

Place the new power transformer into the same position

as the old transformer and slide the transformer’s nipple

through the hole at the top of the high-voltage compart-

ment.

Thread the washer and the nut on to the new power trans-

former’s nipple. Finger-tighten the nut. Final-tighten the

nut by lightly tapping a screwdriver placed against the

nut.

Connections to the Main Power Source

The three main power input wires for the standard 120-

volt, 60 Hz/ AC transformer are black, white, and green.

The international version 230-volt, 50 Hz wires are brown,

blue, and green and yellow.

To connect the power input wires to the main power

source,

• If you have the standard 120-volt, 60 Hz model, use

wire nuts to connect the black wire to the power source

hot wire, the white wire to the common wire, and the

green wire to the ground wire.

• If you have a 230-volt or 240-volt, 50 Hz model, use

wire nuts to connect the brown wire to the power

source hot wire, and the blue to the power source com-

mon wire. Connect the green and yellow wire to the

ground wire.

• Close the high voltage compartment

Reconnecting the power

Reconnect the controller to the power source.

• Connect the transformer’s three wires (two oranges and

one green) cable to the terminal board

Note: If you have a 240 VAC, 50 Hz model,

your transformer will have only two orange

wires for connection to the terminal board.

There will be no green ground wire.

INSTALLING THE MISB DATA AND

POWER CABLE

The ESP-LX PLUS cabinet has five knockouts for routing

field wires. Three are located on the underside of the cab-

inet and two are located on the back

• The underside of the cabinet has a knockout for a PVC

male adapter sized 3⁄4" (1,9 cm) on the right hand side

of the controller. This is the hole to be used for routing

of the MISB Data and Power Cables from the LX-Plus

Controller. Conduit is recommended between the two

cabinets.

• Run the MISB data (end without the ferrite bead) and

power cables between the two cabinets. There should

be 36” (91.4 cm) of cable available, external to the two

cabinets. Recommended conduit run is 6” (15,2 cm)

vertical under each cabinet. Horizontal distance is

based on cabinet mounting - recommended minimum

distance between cabinets is 91⁄2” (24,1 cm).

In the MISB Cabinet:

• The bottom (center) of the MISB Cabinet has a knock-

out for a PVC male adapter sized 1” (2,5 cm) surround-

ed by a knockout for a 11⁄4” (3,2 cm) adapter. The 1”

(2,5 cm) knockout is what is to be used for routing the

MISB data and power cables into the MISB Cabinet. If

using conduit, you will need a 1⁄2” (1,9 cm) to 1” (2,5

cm) conduit adapter to upsize the conduit to fit the

knockout. Note: the right-hand 3⁄4" (1,9 cm) knockout

will be used for sensor and phone cables.

• Plug the three-wire (black, white, and green) power

cable into the J4 connector on the bottom edge of the

MISB, to the left of the sensor ports. Note: If you have a

240 VAC, 50 Hz controller your power cable will only

have two-wires (black and white).

• Connect the six-wire cable to the J1 connector on the

MISB.

Grounding Connections

The MISB has built-in electrical surge protection. For the

system to work, the MISB's earth ground terminal (E1)

must be connected to a ground rod that is driven into the

earth.

Important: Use a #10 (6 mm) or #8 (10 mm)

bare wire to connect the controller to the

ground rod or grounding grid.

To connect the ground wire,

1. Feed the ground wire through the large hole at the

bottom of the cabinet.

2. Place the ground wire into the copper earth ground

terminal. Tighten the screw to secure the wire.

In the LX PLUS Controller Cabinet:

• Install the ESP-LX Plus SITE front panel on the LX PLUS

controller. Connect the ribbon cable and two-wire har-

ness from the face panel to the controller’s circuit

board as shown on page 48 of the ESP-LX PLUS

Installation, Programming, & Operation guide.

• Insert the battery into the battery holder on the back of

the faceplate and attach the recharging clip to the

battery.

• Route the six-wire data cable (end with ferrite bead)

through the cable guides on the back of the face panel

to the Remote/Comm connection port.

• Plug the six-wire cable (ferrite bead close to the con-

nector) into the Remote/Comm connector.
