ESP-LXIVM 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.
"The innovative breakthrough is in the Integrated Valve Module, which relays valve status back to the controller and provides real-time monitoring of valves." - IA
Compatible with IQ4: Allowing users to control/ monitor 1 to 1000s of controllers from their computer or mobile device
