USE ONE TWIN-CORE CABLE TO CONTROL UP TO 240 STATIONS.

The new Rain Bird ESP LX-IVM is a powerful controller that is similar in many ways to the IC method of control in Golf. The ESP LX-IVM has “integrated valve modules” instead of solenoid coils on all your solenoid valves; each of these acts like a microprocessor. You do not have decoders in this system but it still operates on the same twin core cable; the same one that you’d use for a decoder system… but without any decoders!

A benefit of the IVM modules on the solenoid valves is that each IVM module will communicate directly with the LX-IVM controller. If a cable connection is starting to fail, the IVM module will send a message back to the controller. On a weekly report you’ll be able to see that the module is losing current so you’ll be able to sort out the issue before it becomes an actual breakdown.

There are 2 models to choose from:

LX-IVM                 has up to 60 stations; 10 programmes and up to 8 simultaneous stations.

LX-IVM PRO        has up to 240 stations; 40 programmes and up to 16 simultaneous stations.

This controller uses IQ4 Cloud technology, allowing you to use your mobile phones and tablets to control the irrigation system from anywhere that has mobile coverage. Therefore you can have the entire program system on your office PC as long as it is connected to the internet.
