Rain Bird ESP-LXD Decoder Controller

Your Foundation for Decoder-Based Control
Building on the success of the popular ESP-Series commercial controllers, Rain Bird is pleased to introduce the new ESP-LXD controller. The ESP-LXD controller has been designed to maintain the look, feel and ease of programming of the ESP-Series controllers, while offering a 2-wire path for decoder-based irrigation. The ESP-LXD controller can manage up to 50 stations but can easily be expanded for use with up to 200 stations. Flow Management is also built in to every ESP-LXD controller.

200-Station Capacity
The ESP-LXD offers the ability to expand from 50 stations to up to 200 stations. So you can handle sites large or small, while stocking fewer controllers and components.

FEATURES
Easy to Use
The ESP-LXD Controller utilizes the Rain Bird ESP Extra Simple Programming user interface. The dial, switches, and buttons interface, which Rain Bird first introduced in the 1980s, is easy to learn and use and has become a standard controller interface for the irrigation industry. The large LCD display incorporates softkey text labels for the button functions rather than dedicated buttons.
Easy to Install
The ESP-LXD Controller has a spacious case and eight lugs for up to four two-wire paths (which are all managed as a single two-wire path) making installation fast and easy. Multiple size wiring knockouts are provided on the bottom and back side of the case to adapt to a wide variety of wiring applications. The door and front panel are removable so the case can be easily mounted to the wall.
Advanced Features
From Cycle+Soak to Contractor Default Program, the ESP-LXD offers innovative features proven to cut installation expenses, troubleshooting time and water use.
Unprecedented Flexibility
A modular design makes the ESP-LXD the perfect fit for a range of large residential and commercial projects from the straightforward to the most complex.
200-Station Capacity
The ESP-LXD offers the ability to expand from 50 stations to up to 200 stations. So you can handle sites large or small, while stocking fewer controllers and components.
Built-In Flow Management
FloManager ensures you don't overtax your water supply, while Flo-Watch quickly identifies and isolates high or low flow situations, such as mainline breaks.
Smart Approved Watermark
Rain Bird's ESP- LXD controller has received the Smart Approved Watermark. Established in Australia and recognized worldwide, this elite designation identifies products and services that help reduce water use.
Backwards Compatibility
Already have a Rain Bird MDC Two-Wire Decoder? You won't need to dig up your field decoders. Upgrading to the ESP-LXD is as simple as changing out your MDC controller.
