The Rain Bird ESP-9V2 is a rugged, battery-operated irrigation controller that delivers reliable automatic control for two independent zones where AC power is not available. Its waterproof housing, dual-sealed battery chamber, and sealed LCD make it suitable for installation in valve boxes and other harsh environments.

  • Controls 2 independent zones with automatic zone-stacking to avoid simultaneous valve operation.
  • Operates 1 year on a single 9V alkaline battery or 2+ years with two 9V batteries (typical usage).
  • IP68-rated waterproof case, rubber-protected keypad, and dual-sealed battery chamber with O-ring.
  • Intuitive single-screen programming, one-touch manual watering, and Contractor Rapid Programming.
  • Up to 6 start times per zone, 4 watering day options per zone, delay and seasonal adjustment (10-200%).
  • Compatible only with 9V potted latching solenoids (sold separately); solenoid and wiring required for operation.
  • Industry-leading 5-year warranty and available product documentation for quick setup and service.

Designed for contractors, property managers, and homeowners, the ESP-9V2 balances durability and simplicity — perfect for remote valves, temporary systems, or any location without mains power. See the product manual and spec sheet for installation dimensions and electrical requirements.
