Rain Bird f47120 Field Device Lxivm 2-wire

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD f47120 is an output field device designed for use with the LXIVM 2-Wire irrigation control system. It serves as the interface between the LX-IVM controller and third-party valves or external equipment such as pump stations. The f47120 enables the LXIVM controller to manage field devices that are not native to the Rain Bird ecosystem, extending system flexibility for large-scale or multi-vendor irrigation installations. Licensed irrigation professionals and commercial irrigation technicians are the primary installers of this device. Third-party valves used with this module must be equipped with a DC latching solenoid to function correctly.

This output module is intended for commercial and large-scale residential irrigation systems running on the LXIVM 2-Wire architecture. The LXIVM platform supports up to 60 stations standard and up to 240 stations with the LX-IVM Pro configuration. Up to four 2-Wire paths can be connected within the system. The f47120 is sold in case quantities of 5, making it practical for multi-zone deployments where multiple field device outputs are required across a single installation or across multiple sites.

Key Features

• Interfaces with the LX-IVM controller to manage third-party valves and external equipment including pump stations
• Compatible with DC latching solenoid valves from third-party manufacturers
• Designed for the LXIVM 2-Wire system, which supports up to 240 stations with LX-IVM Pro
• Sold in case quantities of 5 for multi-zone and multi-site applications
• Functions as an output-only field device within the 2-Wire communication path

Compatibility

Designed for use exclusively with the LXIVM 2-Wire System. Third-party valves connected through this device must have a DC latching solenoid. Not compatible with standard AC solenoid valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed irrigation technician familiar with 2-Wire decoder-based control systems. Shut down the irrigation controller and de-energize the 2-Wire path before connecting or disconnecting any field devices. Verify that any third-party valve solenoid is rated for DC latching operation before wiring to this output module. Follow the LX-IVM system wiring documentation and applicable local codes for low-voltage irrigation control wiring.
