Rain Bird SD211 Turf Sensor Decoder (SD211TURF)
The Rain Bird SD211 Turf Sensor Decoder (SD211TURF) provides a reliable interface between turf flow and weather sensors and Rain Bird two‑wire decoder controllers. Pre‑programmed with a unique five‑digit address, the SD211TURF converts analog or digital sensor signals so controllers can monitor flow and sensor inputs without additional field electronics.
- Two‑wire decoder compatibility: Works with Rain Bird ESP‑LXD controllers and SiteControl / Maxicom decoder systems for centralized irrigation control.
- Sensor support: Interfaces directly with FS series flow sensors and select weather sensors for accurate flow and event monitoring.
- Pre‑programmed address: Ships with a unique five‑digit address for fast association to a sensor input and simpler commissioning.
- Underground‑ready design: Weatherproof housing and compact footprint for installation in valve boxes or buried enclosures; wiring stays neat and protected.
- Surge protection advised: For Maxicom and SiteControl deployments, install Rain Bird LSP‑1 surge protectors where recommended to protect electronics.
Ideal for golf courses, sports turf and large irrigation sites, the SD211TURF (Rain Bird part number M13012) simplifies field wiring and enables dependable in‑field sensor control when paired with compatible controllers and flow sensors. Always follow the ESP‑LXD installation and wiring guide for recommended cable types, distance limits and surge protection to ensure proper operation.
