RAIN-CLIK’S QUICK RESPONSE™ STOPS IRRIGATION THE INSTANT RAIN STARTS TO FALL
Most rain-sensing devices work by accumulating a set amount of rainfall before a switch is activated that interrupts the circuit from the controller and shuts off the system. In that “accumulation time”, the system will unnecessarily continue to water. This can look especially bad for conservation-conscious municipalities, businesses, and residences. With built-in Quick Response technology, the Hunter Rain-Clik and Wireless Rain-Clik can command a controller to shut off right when it starts to rain. The Rain-Clik can be mounted on an eave or any flat vertical surface like a wall or fence. A gutter mount is also available that allows for easy installation of the Rain-Clik on the edge of a gutter.
Quick Response™ feature shuts the system off as soon as it starts raining

Building on its predecessor—the ESP Modular—the enhanced Rain Bird® ESP-Me offers easy programming, a higher station count and new features so easy to use, you’ll actually use them.
With 4- to 22-station scalability, vibrant colors, easy-to-read text, oversized LCD display and Extra Simple Programming, tailoring a watering schedule for your unique landscape is foolproof
Features
ESP-Me offers One-Touch Watering, giving you an easy way to turn the system on. Just press and hold the teardrop button with the dial in the AUTO position.
When the seasons change, reduce or increase watering with the Seasonal Adjust feature.
The Total Run Time Calculator can ensure the morning watering is finished before the family wakes up, or reduce run time to comply with local water restrictions. This feature calculates the total number of minutes the controller is scheduled to run for the first start time of any program.
To keep the landscape dry for a party, or if Mother Nature is doing the watering for you, easily postpone irrigation for up to 14 days.
The Bypass Rain Sensor by Station feature is ideal for a landscaped area under an eave or deck.
Master Valve/Pump Start Relay Operating Voltage: 24VAC 50/60Hz Max Coil Inrush: 11VA Max Coil Holding: 5VA
Idle/Off power draw 0.06 amps at 120VAC
Power back-up not required. Nonvolatile memory permanently saves the current programming and a 10 year life lithium battery maintains the controllers time and date during power outages.
This timer can be used for irrigation systems that have up to 6 zones or valves. With a convenient remote control, watering a specific zone, or running your entire program becomes a breeze. The remote control allows you to operate individual stations up to 200 ft. This reduces wasted time walking back and forth to the timer during testing, sprinkler adjustments and repairs. It also allows you to spot water specific zones from your front porch without interrupting your timer's set program. It has two independent programs that can be set to run you sprinkler system multiple times in a day from 1 to 99 minutes. If it rains, there is a convenient rain delay button that postpones your program for 24, 48 or 72 hours.

One Touch Rain Delay - Settings for 24, 48 and 72 hours
Controls each station without interrupting your timer's set program
Allows the operation of individual stations up to 200' from the timer
Reduces time wasted walking back and forth to the timer during testing, sprinkler adjustments and repairs
Battery Back-Up - Retains program settings during power failure
THE “SMART” CHOICE FOR ENTRY-LEVEL RESIDENTIAL CONTROL
This entry-level residential controller offers simple operation with “smart” Solar Sync compatibility. With easy-to-configure control for up to 8 stations, including 3 programs and 4 start times each, the X-Core is the perfect solution for residential applications. Plug in the revolutionary Solar Sync ET sensor and the X-Core is converted into a “smart controller,” that regulates irrigation runtimes based on locally measured weather. X-Core is also compatible with Hunter remotes for quick, wireless activation of irrigation. Installation, operation and maintenance are designed to be simple while still delivering optimal efficiency or reliability.
Number of stations: 2, 4, 6, 8
Type: Fixed
Enclosures: Indoor and outdoor
Independent programs: 3
Start times per program: 4
Max. station run time: 4 hrs
Warranty period: 2 years
EASY RETRIEVE™ MEMORY
A manual back-up utility that stores complete controller scheduling and setup information in back-up memory. This allows the saved watering schedule to be restored at any time. This can be used to set a controller back to its initial settings after tampering or at the beginning of a new season.
PROGRAMMABLE RAIN DELAY
The Programmable Rain Delay feature incorporates a user specified number of days to keep the controller in the OFF mode, then allows for the system to automatically revert back to scheduled irrigation. This will prevent watering during an extended period of inclement weather, but will resume watering automatically without requiring a return visit to the controller. The controller displays the number of days remaining before watering resumes.
QUICK CHECK™
The QuickCheck feature makes field wiring issues easy to assess with the push of a button. QuickCheck displays an ERR message when a field wiring short is detected on a particular station number.
NON-VOLATILE MEMORY
This feature offers protection against unreliable power, retaining current time, date, and program data.
AUTOMATIC SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Automatic short circuit protection is a feature found in all Hunter AC powered controllers. This feature automatically detects electrical faults, which are typically caused by wiring issues. Only affected stations are skipped, allowing all other stations to water normally as programmed. There are no fuses to blow or internal circuit breakers to trip, so complete irrigation system shutdown is avoided.
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT: GLOBAL OR AUTOMATIC UPDATES WITH SOLAR SYNC
This feature allows for quick adjustments to irrigation run times through a percentage scale. During peak season, set the seasonal adjustment to 100%. If weather conditions require less water, enter the appropriate percentage value (i.e. 50%) to cut down irrigation run times without the need to adjust each station in the program. This model offers two different ways to use Seasonal Adjustment to reduce water usage: Global and Daily.
Global: The Global option provides a Seasonal Adjustment percentage to all station Run Times on all of the controller's Programs.
Daily: With the addition of a Solar Sync ET Sensor, the controller has the ability to automatically implement daily adjustments based on measured local weather.
DELAY BETWEEN STATIONS
Users can program a delay between stations as the controller advances from one station to the next. This delay can range from a few seconds (to permit slow-closing valves additional time to close) to a much longer period of time (to allow pressure tanks time to recharge), based on user requirements.
SENSOR PROGRAMMABILITY
The ability to specify which program or stations will be shut down in response to a specific sensor alarm. This allows stations or programs unaffected by the sensor to continue automatic operations.
Electrical Specifications
Transformer input: 120 VAC or 230 VAC (international model)
