Rain Bird ESP-LXD Commercial 2 Wire Decoder Outdoor Controller (Expandable to 200 Station)

Backed by over 40 years of field-proven expertise, the Rain Bird ESP-LXD delivers modern, reliable control for the most demanding commercial irrigation projects. Using a robust two-wire decoder design, the ESP-LXD dramatically reduces installation complexity, speeds up troubleshooting, and supports up to 200 stations with optional expansion modules.

The controller’s large backlit display, intuitive “Hand-Off-Auto” dial, and simplified programming interface make it easy for contractors and site managers to operate, even across extensive installations. With multilingual support and Rain Bird’s signature Extra Simple Programming (ESP), setup is straightforward while still offering powerful scheduling and water management tools.

Built for scale and flexibility, the ESP-LXD supports run lengths up to 4 km (2.5 miles), simultaneous operation of up to 8 stations, and 96-hour continuous run times. Upgradeable with ClimateMinder® for remote access, and compatible with Rain Bird’s range of commercial valves and sensors, the ESP-LXD provides reliability and smart control for sports complexes, campuses, municipal parks, and other large landscapes
