Rain Bird ESP-LXIVM Commercial PRO 240 Station Outdoor Controller With Smart Valve Technology

The Rain Bird ESP-LXIVM PRO represents the peak of commercial irrigation control, combining scalability, efficiency, and state-of-the-art water management. Featuring Rain Bird’s revolutionary Integrated Valve Module (IVM) technology, this controller eliminates the need for traditional decoders, reducing installation time, splice points, and maintenance costs while delivering real-time two-way communication between valves and the controller.

With support for up to 240 stations, the LXIVM PRO is engineered for the most demanding sites—stadiums, councils, parks, campuses, and large commercial landscapes. Advanced diagnostics, error detection, and a self-healing 2-Wire system ensure reliable performance, while industry-leading tools such as Learn Flow™, FloWatch™, FloManager™, and SimulStations™ provide precise water control, hydraulic balance, and system protection against leaks, breaks, or blockages.

Built with a large backlit LCD interface, multilingual programming, and compatibility with Rain Bird IQ4 Central Control, the ESP-LXIVM PRO delivers unmatched power, simplicity, and remote management capability for today’s water-conscious environments.
