Bring reliable, automatic irrigation to any location with the rugged and waterproof Rain Bird ESP9V6 6-Station Battery-Operated Controller. This powerful controller is the perfect solution for managing irrigation zones in areas without AC power, such as medians, roundabouts, or remote sections of a property. Designed for installation directly in a valve box, the ESP-9V is IP68 certified with a dual-sealed battery compartment to protect against water intrusion.
Programming is incredibly simple thanks to a large, easy-to-read LCD screen and an intuitive, icon-based interface that follows the same logic as Rain Bird's popular ESP series controllers. This 6-station model offers flexible scheduling with three independent programs and four start times per program. It operates for over one year with a single 9V alkaline battery or more than two years with two, providing long-lasting, set-and-forget convenience for any site.
Controller Features:
Waterproof case ensures long life even when installed in a valve box
Dual-sealed battery chamber with rubber insert and O-ring keeps water out

Mounts in valve box using solenoid mounting bracket, using two screws affixed to the valve box or on a wall using the optional wall-mount kit
The plastic controller case has outstanding resistance to weather, yellowing and aging
Sensor input with bypass override

Scheduling Features:
Common programming features are easily accessed on one screen, making programming quick and easy
At-a-glance programming eliminates confusion by showing the run time, start times and watering days for each zone
