Connect IVM-SOL to a Valve
Connect the red and black wires on the
IVM-SOL to the 2-Wire Path.
For future troubleshooting or modifica-
tions, it is recommended to leave an addi-
tional 3 feet (1 meter) of 2-Wire cable stored
in each valve box location.
NOTE: If the valve is NOT at the end of the
2-Wire Path then make a three-way splice;
the red wire from the valve module to the
two red wires of the 2-Wire Path; then splice
the valve module black wire to the two
black wires of the 2-Wire Path.
NOTICE
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.
Connect IVM-SOL to a Master Valve
Up to 5 master valves can be connected to the
2-Wire path of the ESP-LXIVM controller and up
to 10 master valves for the LX-IVM Pro controller.
IVM-SOL can be used for both station and master
valves. Master valves are connected using the
same processes as described previously.
NOTE: Be sure to attach the barcode labels
to the Programming Guide as a Master
Valve instead of a Station.
NOTICE
If retro-fitting, do not use TBOS (Battery Operated System) sole-
noids or decoders in the ESP-LXIVM system.
Ensure that all decoders are disconnected from the 2-Wire path.
