Rain Bird introduced their version of the decoder system Multipath in the mid 1970s. A multimeter with an inductive clamp capable of testing milliamps with a precision of at 10mA or lower an Armada Technologies model PRO95 multimeter will be used for demonstration during the class session. Compatible with all Rain Bird Golf Decoders Simply attach new decoder to wire path Operates as a standalone controller or add a Rain Bird Central Control System for greater control Operates up to 72 decoder addresses.
A decoder controller with a pigtail plug a Rain Bird ESP-LXD will be used for demonstration during the class session.
This 2-wire path carries both the communication and power to operate the decoders and the irrigation valves. Rain Bird decoders are a true lower than 30 volt system that utilize a two-wire path of 14-gauge wire connecting the central control system decoders and valves or valve-in-head sprinklers.
