ESP-LXD Controller

Apply Decoder Address Labels

Before you begin programming, apply your field decoder barcode 

labels to the appropriate fields on the Programming Guide.

Carefully  peel  the  station,  master  valve,  flow  or  weather  sensor 

sensor decoder barcode label off of the decoder.

1

Apply the decoder address labels in the appropriate fields on the 

Programming Guide.

2

Repeat  this  process  to  apply  additional  barcode  labels  to  the 

programming chart.

NOTE:

  An  optional  Programming  Backup  Cartridge  (PBC)  is 

available for the ESP-LXD controller, which allows you to create 

and Restore multiple Backups of irrigation programs. With a PBC 

cartridge installed, you can also set up Field Decoder addresses 

by using a barcode scanning pen to read the removable barcode 

labels attached to Rain Bird’s field decoders. See Section E of the 

ESP-LXD  Controller  Installation,  Programming  and  Operation 

Guide for more details. Or see page 26 of this Programming Guide 

for more details on setting up a barcode scanning pen.

Fill Out Programming Guide 

Before you begin programming, fill out the Programming Guide. 

Sample Programming information is shown on the following 

pages.

Enter information about your system hardware and settings in the 

appropriate fields on the Programming Guide.
