ESP-LXIVM Series Controllers
IVM-OUT (Output Device)
IVM-OUT 2-Wire control devices can be used
to control valves with DC latching solenoids.
Connect the red and black wires on the IVM-
OUT to the 2-Wire Path.
Connect the red/white striped wire on the
IVM-OUT to the DC latching solenoid red
wire.
Connect the black/white striped wire on the
IVM-OUT to the DC latching solenoid black
wire.
For future troubleshooting or modifications,
it is recommended to leave an additional 3
feet (1 meter) of 2-Wire cable stored in each
valve box location.
NOTE: Make sure that the DC latching sole-
noid is compatible with non Rain Bird valves.
Contact the valve manufacturer for more
information.
NOTICE
Maximum combined wire length between IVM-
OUT and its load (e.g. Solenoid) shall be 48 in.
This includes pre-installed IVM-OUT wire (24 in.)
and solenoid wires (22 in.).
Use only WC20 splice kits for all wiring connec-
tions to the 2-Wire Path. Improper wiring can
cause serious damage to your controller or irri-
gation system.
