The large LCD display incorporates softkey text labels for the button functions rather than dedicated buttons.

Multiple language support allows the end-user or maintenance personnel to interface with the controller in their primary language. User selectable languages include English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese. Date, time and unit formats are also user configurable.

The ESP-LXME Controller has a spacious case and quick-connect terminals making installation fast and easy.

The door and front panel are removable so the case can be easily mounted to the wall.
