Thank you for doing your part to conserve our most precious natural resource... WATER!
The Rain Bird ESP-SMT “Smart” Modular Control System has many advanced features based on scientic agronomic principles.
It is designed for you to easily and conveniently keep your client’s landscape healthy and vibrant by optimizing the irrigation
schedule to match the plant water needs associated with changing weather conditions.
You are about to install a controller that many of our eld test participants commented that this control system is what they
need to irrigate correctly and save water. They also stated that this controller is much easier and faster to program than any
other controller they have used.
To leverage the water savings potential of the ESP-SMT control system, it is important that you become familiar with both the
basic as well as advanced capabilities of the controller. If you would like to better understand Plant-Soil-Water relationship
principles or learn more about how to maximize the water savings and your prots with the ESP-SMT Smart Control System, we
oer a free, comprehensive on-line tutorial program. To learn more, visit the Rain Bird website... www.rainbird.com
Drive a mounting screw through hole in upper
left corner of mounting base into mounting
surface (do not tighten yet).
Align mounting base to approximate level
position. Drive a second screw into slot in
lower right corner of mounting base (do not
tighten yet).
Assure mounting base is level, then tighten
the screw in slot.
To secure base, assure that all 3 additional
screws are tightened to the mounting surface.
Unscrew the captured screw to remove the
wiring compartment cover and expose the
wiring terminals.
Strip the wire insulation 3/8” and insert bare,
copper-leads into the tool-less connectors
(polarity is not important).
If the controller is powered, the green LED
located adjacent to the terminal strip will
illuminate once communication is
established.
Route the wire through the two openings in
the wiring compartment cover, then tighten
the captured screw to secure cover.
Route the wires through the 3 holes located in
the 2 mounting bracket arms for strain relief.
Slide the sensor housing assembly over the
top of the mounting arm and secure with the
provided thumb screw.
Adjust each of the mounting arms to assure
that the sensor is secured in a level position.
Slip the sensor debris cover onto top of sensor.
Mount the Controller
Remove the controller door from cabinet
hinges.
Open the face panel by grasping the crescent
shaped nger hold on the top right side of the
cabinet.
Disconnect cable from back of panel.
Remove controller panel from cabinet hinge
pins.
Drive a screw at eye level into the mounting
wall surface. Leave approximately a 3/8" gap
from wall.
Slide controller keyhole slot (located on back
of the cabinet) onto the screw.
Secure controller by driving 3 screws into wall
thru the holes located at bottom of controller.

Connect Sensor Wire to Controller
"
$
&
Run provided wire or 18-2 AWG direct burial,
UV rated wire from sensor to controller (200 ft.
max).
Strip wire insulation approx 3/8" and insert
leads into connector located on back of front
panel (polarity not important).
Route the two wires through the provided
channel and out through one of the
knockouts, located in the bottom of the
controller cabinet.
Remote Programming of Controller Panel
(
Insert 9-volt battery into the back of front
panel to program the controller without AC
power to the unit. Once completed, remove 9volt battery from unit.
NOTE: All of the programmed information will be saved in non-volatile
memory so you can pre-program the
controller in advance of AC power
availability.
Connect Field Wiring
Connect each valves separate power wire to
the corresponding station (zone) terminal.
Connect a common wire to one of the leads on
each valve.
Connect the other end of the common wire to
the terminal location labeled COM.
NOTE: All 120V Power and Field Wiring
(Valves & Pumps) is performed in the
same manner as any other traditional
time-based controller. For Pump, Master
Valve and Control Valve Wiring Details,
See User Manual – pages 61 to 62.
!
!
Install sensor in a location that receives afternoon sun
in order to measure the daily high temperature (South
or West exposure is ideal).
Mount weather sensor at least six feet above grade.
Assure that sensor is free from obstructions to allow for
collection and accurate measurement of rainfall.
Do NOT install sensor in a location where spray from the
sprinkler will collect in the sensor.
Do NOT install the sensor where it will be located in the
shade during the hottest part of the day.
Do NOT install the sensor where rainfall will be blocked
from entering the sensor funnel.
