Upgrade ESP-LX series controllers to IQ satellite control with the Rain Bird IQ-NCC-EN Ethernet Network Communication Cartridge. The cartridge inserts behind the controller faceplate and provides a wired Ethernet connection between the local controller and the IQ central computer. Use this Ethernet option when a reliable LAN connection and IT-managed static IP are available; it enables remote monitoring, centralized scheduling, data logging, and two-way control across single- and multi-site irrigation systems.

  • Compatible models: ESP-LXME, ESP-LXMEF, ESP-LXD, and ESP-LXIVM series controllers.
  • Includes: Embedded Ethernet network modem and RJ-45 patch cable for direct LAN connection.
  • Network requirements: Requires a LAN static or reserved IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and appropriate router/firewall port forwarding or Dynamic DNS for IQ cloud access.
  • Installation & configuration: Insert cartridge into the controller faceplate and configure via the controller IQ Settings or the NCC Configurator software on a laptop.
  • Why choose Ethernet: Preferred for sites with existing wired infrastructure where cellular coverage is limited or where IT prefers managed network connections.

Coordinate with your network administrator before installation to collect IP details and open required ports. For detailed specifications, installation diagrams, and software instructions, consult the Rain Bird IQ NCC technical specification and user manuals linked in the product documents.
