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.
A
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.
B
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.
