Rain Bird's latest 2-Wire Controller includes 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 standard stations or 240 stations with LX-IVM Pro. Up to four 2-wire circuits can be connected, plus flow sensing and advanced flow management tools that set new industry standards for state-of-the-art water management.
Functions
- Capacity for 60 serial stations, expandable to 240 stations with LXIVM Pro panel
- Four available sensor inputs (one wired and three on a 2-wire circuit) with disable switch. Eight (seven plus 1) for LX-IVM Pro
- Five flow sensors supported (LX-IVM), ten for LX-IVM Pro
- Field devices supported: IVM-SOL smart valves, IVM-OUT and VM
- Supports IVM-SEN sensor devices (flow sensing and weather sensor support) and IVM-SD overvoltage protection devices (one per 500 feet of two-wire circuit required or every 15 devices)
- Central control system compatible with Rain Bird IQ communication software and cartridges
- Six user-selectable languages
- 10 independent programs (LX- IVM) or 40 programs (LX-IVM Pro)
- Removable front panel is programmable with battery power
- Compatible with Rain Bird landscape irrigation remote maintenance and other third-party remote systems
- Plastic wall-mount box, keyed and UV-resistant; Optional metal and stainless steel pedestal and housing
- Flow learning function and flow usage totalizer optimize water usage*
- FloWatch™ protection for user-defined high or low flow conditions. FloManager™ controls hydraulic demand, using all available water to turn on as many stations as possible without exceeding water supply and reducing total time to complete irrigation cycles
- SimulStations™ allow simultaneous operation of stations; up to 8 with LX-IVM and 16 with LXIVM Pro
- Cycle + Soak™ feature per station
- Delay due to rain up to 30 days
- 365-day calendar for days without watering (up to 5 days)
- Station delay per program
- Normally open or normally closed valves, programmable per station; up to 5 with LX-IVM and 10 with LX-IVM Pro
- Optional weather sensors, programmable per station, to prevent or suspend irrigation; até 4 com LX-IVM e 8 com LX-IVM Pro
- Seasonal adjustment per programme or per month
Specifications
- Station run time: 0 min to 96 hr.
- Program level adjustment and global monthly seasonal adjustment; 0% to 300% (96 h maximum watering time per station)
- 8 start times per program
- Day programming cycles include weekdays and odd, odd-numbered, even, and cyclical dates
- Station, program, manual test program
Diagnostic features:
- 2-Wire Mapping: Maps devices to the corresponding wire circuits in the controller to quickly detect and resolve problems
- Automatic repair: Automatically provides "workarounds", for wire circuit and splice circuit problems, and restarts irrigation without relying on manual intervention
- Bi-directional communication: With Intelligent Valve Modules (IVM) communication occurs two-way, with key features being activated
-
- Automatic deactivation: Once power loss is detected, automatically deactivates the valve to prevent leakage
- Alarm light with external box lens
- 2-wire diagnostics to simplify and speed troubleshooting
- Four isolated wire circuits prevent total system failure in the event of a short circuit
- 12-month electrical history reports for trending and proactive action
