ESP-LXD 2-Wire Decoder Control System Installation & Troubleshooting Guide
Lightning Surge Protector – LSP-1 (Yellow)
The ESP-LXD controller 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 significantly reduce
troubleshooting, repair time and expense. Failure to do so could result in failure of your controller
and voiding the warranty.
Refer to page 24 of this guide for recommended location and quantity of LSP-1 Lightning Surge
Protectors.
