ESP-LXD 2-Wire Decoder System Design Guide

Rain Bird ESP-LXD Decoder Controller controls large irrigation systems comparable to the traditionally wired irrigation controller. The difference is decoders directly power the solenoids from the 2-wire path. A Rain Bird ESP-LXD Decoder Controller is programmed similar to a traditional wired controller. The difference is decoder addresses must be programmed into the controller

ESP-LXD 2-Wire Decoder Control System Installation & Troubleshooting Guide

An ESP-LXD controller is programmed similar to a traditional-wired controller. The difference is factory assigned decoder addresses are assigned to stations, master valves, and sensors. As irrigation programs execute, the controller sends commands via the 2-wire path cable to the decoders located at each valve and sensor. The decoders directly activate the solenoids on the valves and monitor the sensors.

ESP-LXIVM Series Controllers Field Device Installation Guide

Field and installation quick guide for the ESP-LXIVM & ESP-LVM PRO. Rain Bird’s ESP-LXIVM Series 2-Wire controllers are designed for the largest and most demanding sites, such as housing or condominium complexes, schools, sports fi elds, parks and public spaces, or large industrial and commercial sites.

Rain Bird® ESP-LXIVM Controller Surge Protection and Grounding

The ESP-LXIVM controller, IVM 2-Wire Interface Module and the 2-Wire path must be properly surge protected and grounded. Doing so can help prevent damage to the controller and irrigation system and also significantly reduce troubleshooting, repair time and expense.

ESP-LXME Control System Installation & Troubleshooting Guide

A Rain Bird ESP-LXME Series Controller provides control of small to large irrigation systems. The ESP-LXME traditionally-wired controller offers a modular station capacity expandable from the base 8 or 12 stations to 48 stations using 4-, 8-, and 12-station modules. Flow sensing is standard on ESPLXMEF model controllers. Flow sensing can be added to ESP-LXME models by installing a FSM-LXME Flow Smart Module.
