Rain Bird - 2-Wire Controller with Smart Valve Technology

Our most advanced irrigation controller offers fast and error-free installation, world-class diagnostics, and an updated version of the Industry’s favorite programming interface. Rain Bird’s newest 2-Wire Controller has many powerful new features like the Integrated Valve Module that stays in constant communication with the controller to provide efficient irrigation and advanced diagnostics. The ESP-LXIVM supports up to 60 stations standard or 240 stations with LX-IVM Pro. Up to four 2-Wire paths can be connected, plus flow sensing and advanced flow management tools that set new industry standards for state-of-the-art water management.

Features:

• 60-station capability standard expandable to 240 stations with LXIVM Pro Panel

• Five flow sensors supported (LX-IVM), Ten for LX-IVM Pro
• Supported Field devices: IVM-SOL, IVM-OUT and IVM Smart Valves
• Supports IVM-SEN sensor devices (flow sensing and weather sensor support) and IVM-SD surge devices (one per 500 feet of two-wire path or every 15 devices required)
• Central Control capable with Rain Bird IQ Communications Cartridges and software
• Six user-selectable languages
• 10 independent programs (LX-IVM) or 40 Programs (LX-IVM Pro)
• Removable front panel is programmable under battery power
• Compatible with Rain Bird Landscape Irrigation and Maintenance and Third Party Remotes
• Plastic, locking, UV resistant, wall-mount case, Optional Metal and Stainless Steel Case & Pedestal

Water Management Features:

• Learn Flow utility and flow usage totalizer help optimize water usage*
• FloWatch™ protection for high and low flow conditions set by the user
• FloManager™ manages hydraulic demand, make full use of available water to turn on as many stations as possible without exceeding water supply and reducing the total time to complete irrigation cycles
• SimulStations™ allows stations to operate at the same time; up to 8 with LX-IVM and 16 with LXIVM Pro
• Cycle+Soak™ by station
• Rain Delay up to 30 days
• 365-Day Calendar Day Off (up to 5 days)
• Station Delay by program

• 8 start times per program
• Program Day Cycles include Custom days of the week, Odd, Odd no 31st, Even, and Cyclical dates
• Manual station, program, test program

Diagnostic Features:

• 2-Wire Mapping: Maps the devices to corresponding wire paths in the controller to help quickly find and resolve issues
• Self-Healing: Automatically detect “fixes” to wire path and splice issues and re-start irrigation without reliance on manual intervention
• Two-Way Communication: with Intelligent Valve Modules (IVM) communication happens both ways enabling key features
• Self-Shutoff: Once loss of power is detected, automatically shutoff valve to avoid leaks
• Alarm light with external case lens
• 2-Wire diagnostics to simplify and expedite troubleshooting
• Four isolated wire paths prevent full system failure under a single short
