Rain Bird Decoders
A technology long since proven on top golf courses around the world, Rain Bird decoders provide "best-in-class" field control on centrally controlled irrigation systems.
Installed underground and featuring simple, low-cost wiring, decoders are an aesthetically pleasing, full-featured, economical option for reliable in-field control.
Features
Cost-Effective Alternative
- A simple wiring configuration and the absence of protective enclosures keep installation and maintenance costs low. Rain Bird decoders are a “true lower than 30-volt” system that utilizes a two-wire path of 14-gauge wire connecting the central control system, decoders and valves or valve-in-head sprinklers.
Sensor Capability
- If you need information from analogue, pulse or switch sensors to manage your irrigation, connect the sensor to the SD-211 sensor decoder and view the data at the central. Using Smart Sensor Software, sensor data can even be used to control the irrigation.
Protect Against the Elements
- With all electronic components fully sealed within a water‑tight enclosure and buried underground, damage from floods, frost, rodents or vandals is virtually eliminated. Rain Bird decoders are an especially good choice for flood plains.
An Out-of-Sight Solution
- Buried decoder systems leave nothing exposed to the elements. With no evidence of in-field control, this aesthetically pleasing alternative works perfectly in situations where controller enclosures are unwanted or impractical.
Excellent for Renovations
- Thanks to advanced central control technology and simple wiring requirements, decoders are a smart choice for many golf course renovations. Use Rain Bird’s hybrid control feature to operate controllers and decoders concurrently. This makes it easy to expand irrigation coverage using a minimal amount of wire and decoders.
In-Field Control Options
- The addition of decoders doesn’t mean the elimination of in‑field control. Decoders can be turned on and off in the field with The FREEDOM System or MI Series Mobile Controllers.
The Right Amount of Control
- Select different decoders to operate one, two, four or six solenoids. Five different decoders let you choose the amount of control you need.
