ESP-LXIVM Series Controllers
Connect Field Wiring
The ESP-LXIVM controller can support up to four 2-Wire path con-
nections. The controller will manage multiple 2-Wire connections as
a single 2-Wire path. Rain Bird® requires use of MAXI Cable, #14 AWG,
as your 2-Wire communications cable.
Connecting the 2-Wire Cable
NOTICE
Do not install the communications cables in the same con-
duit as the 2-Wire path wiring.
Strip away approximately 6 in (15,24 cm) of the cable’s outer
sheathing, then strip approximately 5/8 in (1,58 cm) of the insula-
tion away from the ends of the two inner wires. See Wire Splices
and 2-Wire Device Connections for more details on the correct
way to splice wire connections.
If additional wiring access is needed, knock out one or more of
the knockouts on the bottom of the controller cabinet. Using a
screwdriver or other pointed tool, center the point of the tool
on a “dimple” in one of the knockouts, then punch through and
remove the knockout.
Screw a conduit fi tting into the bottom of the cabinet, then attach
conduit to the fi tting.
Feed the 2-Wire communications cable through the conduit and
into the controller cabinet.
