GROW IN PROGRAM FOR BERMUDEAGRASS ATHLETIC FIELDS

WATERING

Planted areas should be watered immediately following installation and kept continuously moist for a period of two weeks. This means frequent, light watering (4-6 times per day) rather than soaking the soil when it becomes dry. Do not allow the water to puddle or run off the surfaces. After three weeks, irrigate each area at least once per day until the grass is completely rooted down.

FERTILIZING

Weeks After Planting Material Rate/Acre (Ibs.)

2 Ammonium Sulfate 200 4 12-4-8, or similar analysis 400

Repeat the above cycle until the surfaces are covered.

Note: Be sure the grass is dry when fertilizer is applied and irrigate immediately following the application.

PEST CONTROL

Follow direction and precautions on the pesticide container label. Be sure the pesticide is labeled for use on the bermudagrass, and the pest is listed on the label. For effective control of pests without damage to the turf, the sprayer must ne calibrated and operating properly.

INSECT CONTROL

Inspect the planting daily for the presence of mole crickets and/or worms. Treat as needed, carefully following label rates and precautions. Use Bifenithrin or Acephate for control of either pest. Other than allowing the soil to dry out, worm infestation is the biggest contributor to loss of newly installed turfgrass.

WEED CONTROL

Broadleaf Weeds – Most can be controlled using one ot a combination of the following: 2, 4-D. Trimec, Manor, Banvel, Dismiss or Celsius 68WDG.

Grass-Type Weeds – Most can be controlled using one or a combination of the following: Sencor, Dismiss, Revolver, or Drive.

Sedge-Type Weeds – For best control use Sedgehammer, Dismiss South, Certainty, or Monument.

Caterpillars – Can be controlled by using one of the following: Orthene, Sevin, Talstar, Dursban, and Acelypryn.

Mole Crickets – Insecticides for control include Acephate, Bifenthrin, Sevin bait, Chipco TopChoice.

ROLLING

To provide a smooth, firm surface for future play and operation of mowing equipment, all areas will need to be rolled a few times

ESP-ME3 Controller8

EN Station Numbering The controller is configured with “fixed station num-bering”, meaning that Bays Two, Three and Four can accept either a 3 or a 6-Station Module. If a 6-Station Module is NOT installed then the unused stations are reserved for future use.

Example of Station Numbering when using two 3-Station Modules. A total of 10 stations are installed.

Bay One Bay Two Bay Three Bay Four

• The Base Module is installed in Bay One and uses Stations 1 through 4.

• A 3-Station Module is installed in Bay Two and uses stations 5 through 7. Stations 8 through 10 are skipped and will be unavailable.

• A 3-Station Module is installed in Bay Three and uses stations 11 through 13.

During programming, the controller will skip any unused stations, creating a gap in station numbering.

The unused stations will show on the display as 8SKIP, 9SKIP, etc.

If the screen displays 20NOMOD where the 20 is flash-ing, then there is no module installed for that station number.

Complete Controller Installation a Reinstall and reconnect the front panel.

b Apply power to the controller and test the system.

B NOTE: The electrical connections can be checked even if water is not available. If water is available and you would like to test some or all of your stations, use the Test All Stations feature of the controller.

ESP-ME3 Controller11

EN Program-Based Scheduling The ESP-ME3 uses a programmed-based scheduling method to create irrigation schedules. This means all stations with a run time on the program will run in numerical order.

Common Programming Error The most common programming error for any pro-gram-based controller is to set multiple Program Start Times that cause watering cycles to repeat.

As an example: Program A has a 1st Start Time set to run at 8:00 AM. But then a 2nd Start Time has mistak-enly been set for 8:15 AM, which means that all sta-tions would water a 2nd time.

In this example, a 3rd Start Time has mistakenly been set for 8:30 AM. Which means all stations would water a 3rd time. The desired watering time was 45 minutes, or 15 minutes per station. The actual is 2 hours and 15 minutes, which is excessive watering!

EN Safety Information

CWARNING

Special precautions must be taken when valve wires (also known as station or solenoid wires) are locat-ed adjacent to, or share a conduit with other wires, such as those used for landscape lighting, other “low voltage” systems or other “high voltage” power.

Separate and insulate all conduc-tors carefully, taking care not to damage wire insulation during installation. An electrical “short” (contact) between the valve wires and another power source can damage the controller and create a fire hazard.

All electrical connections and wiring runs must comply with local build-ing codes. Some local codes require that only a licensed or certified electrician can install power. Only professional personnel should in-stall the controller. Check your local building codes for guidance.

Outdoor controller shall be permanently connected to fixed wiring by a flexible cord, and have a cord anchorage. The cord anchorage shall relieve conductors from strain, including twisting, at the terminals and protect the insulation of the conductors from abrasion.

CCAUTION

Stationary appliances not fitted with means for disconnection from the supply mains having a contact separation in all poles that provide full disconnection under overvolt-age category III, the instructions state that means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules

This appliance can be used by chil-dren aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

For controllers not provided with supply cord, the fixed installation must include a dis-connecting device for all three poles suitable for overvoltage category III protection.

NOTICE

Use only Rain Bird approved accessory devices. Unapproved devices may damage the controller and void the warranty. For a list of compatible devices go to: www.

SCOREBOARD INSTALLATION

This part of the manual describes the mechanical and electrical installation of the scoreboard.

One of the items listed below must be purchased in order to complete the installation:

Control cable (length dependent upon installation site layout) SL-230 / 330 RF Modem System

Items not provided by Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company that are necessary for installation:

Two posts Power cable to connect the scoreboard to the power source Grounding hardware A grounded NEMA 5-15R 120 VAC receptacle for the control console at the scorekeeper’s table.

Items not provided that are recommended by Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company for installation:

A weatherproof power disconnect at the scoreboard

Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company performs installations in some areas. In other areas, we can help you contact an independent installer. In areas in which installation service is not available from Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company, we will make every effort to answer your installation questions. Qualified personnel should perform the scoreboard installation. Consult national and local codes before installation.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

The mechanical installation includes installing the posts and mounting the scoreboard and the optional top sponsor panels (if purchased) to the posts.

Post Installation

The scoreboard mounts on two posts. Typically installers will use steel pipes or I-beams.

In order to reduce the glare from the sun on the front of the scoreboard, position the posts so that the front of the scoreboard is angled away from the afternoon sun, if possible.

The mounting hardware will accommodate posts up to 4.5 inches outer diameter. Sink the posts in reinforced concrete footings. Figure 1 shows the spacing of the posts for a 1030 scoreboard. The specifications for the posts and concrete footings are dependent upon the expected local wind and soil conditions, the height of the scoreboard from the ground, and the local building codes. Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company assumes no responsibility for the installation of scoreboards by others.
