Surge Protection and Grounding

The ESP-LXIVM controller, IVM 2-Wire Interface Module and the 2-Wire
path must be properly surge protected and grounded. Doing so can
help prevent damage to the controller and irrigation system and also
signifi cantly reduce troubleshooting, repair time and expense. Failure to
do so could result in failure of the controller and voiding the warranty.
C
The LX-IVM controller and the IVM 2-Wire Interface Module must be properly
grounded. Doing so can help prevent damage to the controller and irriga-
tion system and also signifi cantly reduce troubleshooting, repair time and
expense. Failure to do so could result in failure of the controller and voiding
the warranty. Ensure that all grounding devices are compliant with local
electrical codes.

ESP-LXIVM Controller

The ESP-LXIVM Decoder Controller is protected against electrical surges
through the ground provided by the primary ground of the incoming
power to the controller.
