How To Use The Programming Guide Program and Decoder Information A B Print pages 12-33 of the Programming Guide. Align the Program Information charts (pages 12 and 13) to the corresponding data on the Decoder Information charts (pages 14-33). PAGE 12 PAGE 13 PAGES 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 PAGES 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33 ESP-LXD Controller 1

Apply Decoder Address Labels Before you begin programming, apply your field decoder barcode labels to the appropriate fields on the Programming Guide. A 1 Carefully peel the station, master valve, flow or weather sensor sensor decoder barcode label off of the decoder. OTE: An optional Programming Backup Cartridge (PBC) is available for the ESP-LXD controller, which allows you to create and Restore multiple Backups of irrigation programs. With a PBC cartridge installed, you can also set up Field Decoder addresses by using a barcode scanning pen to read the removable barcode labels attached to Rain Bird s field decoders. See Section E of the ESP-LXD Controller Installation, Programming and Operation Guide for more details. Or see page 6 of this Programming Guide for more details on setting up a barcode scanning pen. Fill Out Programming Guide Before you begin programming, fill out the Programming Guide. Sample Programming information is shown on the following pages. C Enter information about your system hardware and settings in the appropriate fields on the Programming Guide. B Apply the decoder address labels in the appropriate fields on the Programming Guide. 3 2 Repeat this process to apply additional barcode labels to the programming chart. 2 ESP-LXD Controller

Barcode Scanning Barcode Scanning Pen Options To take full advantage of ESP-LXD Controller features, an optional barcode scanning pen is recommended for Decoder setup. Rain Bird recommends using a Unitech MS100-RCB00-SG Handheld Pen/Wand Scanner. OTE: The Barcode Scanning Pen must be set up in order to use it with the ESP-LXD Controller and ESP-LXD decoders. See pages 7-8 for Barcode Scanning Pen setup. MS100-RCB00-SG Unitech also offers an earlier version of their barcode scanning pen, the MS100-2. Either of these barcode scanning pens will work with the ESP-LXD Controller, once setup properly. For more information on these products or to purchase a barcode scanning pen, visit the Unitech website: orth America Latin America Europe http://us.ute.com http://latin.ute.com http://eu.ute.com 6 ESP-LXD Controller

Barcode Scanning Pen Setup Unitech MS100-RCB00-SG Follow the instructions by scanning the 4 Setup Barcodes that are shown below. A Scan the first barcode lengthwise as shown. You ll hear audible beeps to confirm that the scan was successful. OTE: If you do not hear beeps after each scan then repeat the scanning process until you hear the beeps. Setup Barcode 1 Setup Barcode 2 B Scan the second barcode and again you ll hear audible beeps. Setup Barcode 3 Setup Barcode 4 Scan the remaining barcodes. Be sure to listen for the beeps after each scan to confirm the scan was successful. The barcode scanning pen is now ready for use. ESP-LXD Controller 7

Unitech MS100-2 Follow the instructions by scanning the 2 Setup Barcodes that are shown below. A Scan the first barcode lengthwise as shown. You ll hear audible beeps to confirm that the scan was successful. OTE: If you do not hear beeps after each scan then repeat the scanning process until you hear the beeps. Setup Barcode 1 Setup Barcode 2 B Scan the second barcode and again you ll hear audible beeps. The barcode scanning pen is now ready for use. 8 ESP-LXD Controller

Test Barcode Scanning Pen Turn the controller dial to ETM/IQ/PBC Settings. C D Scan any station umber Barcode (as shown on pages 14-33 of the Programming Guide). You ll hear an audible beep to confirm when the scan was successful. The Success! screen will appear and the station field will display the station number of the scanned barcode. 3 4 A B The PBC Main Menu appears. Press the Down Arrow button to select Test Barcode Pen; then press ext. The PBC Test Barcode Pen screen appears with instructions. OTE: Return the Programming Guide to a permanent, safe location when you re finished working with it. We recommend hanging it on the hook inside the controller cabinet door. 1 2 ESP-LXD Controller 9

Scan Field Decoder Addresses Set up field decoders automatically by scanning. A CAUTIO: Barcode scanning replaces any previous decoder addresses stored in the controller. Be sure to complete the previous Test Barcode Scanning Pen process before starting as the test process will not update or replace your decoder addresses. Ensure that the station Decoder Address Labels are affixed in the proper locations on the Programming Guide. B C The PBC Main Menu appears. Press the Down Arrow button to select station Setup; then press ext. The PBC station Setup (Scan When Ready) screen appears. 2 3 D On the Programming Guide, scan a station umber barcode and corresponding station Decoder Address Label in sequence. You ll hear audible beep(s) to confirm when scans are successful. 1 Turn the controller dial to ETM/IQ/PBC Settings. 4 10 ESP-LXD Controller

E The Successful Scan screen appears and the station and Decoder fields will be updated with the scanned barcode data (the screen will always display the most recently scanned data). Press the Save button to store the scanned station umber and station Decoder Address in the controller. Or else press Cancel to go back or retry scanning again. OTE: It s not necessary to scan Field Decoder addresses sequentially., or MV addresses can be scanned in any numeric order. For example, you could scan station 2 before scanning station 1, if necessary. F To scan master valve, flow sensor or weather sensor decoders; from the Scan When Ready screen, press the Type button to select the desired device. Then repeat the scanning process as previously described. 5 6 OTE: If either barcode does not scan on the first attempt, try scanning one or both barcodes again until you hear the beep(s) and until the screen has updated to show both the station (or or MV) umber and the Decoder Address. If scanning problems persist, you can still enter decoder addresses manually. See ESP-LXD Controller Installation, Programming & Operation Guide, Section B, Setup Wizards for more details. Repeat this process and continue to scan and set up additional Field Decoder addresses as desired. OTE: Even if you don t plan to use a barcode scanning pen, we recommend carefully removing the peel-off barcodes from your field decoders and affixing them to the proper positions in the Programming Guide.
