If you're looking for an alternative to a traditional in-field controller, Rain Bird decoders may be the right solution for you. These self-contained switching stations for your central control system are simple, yet very reliable. They work with your central control system just like conventional controllers but are buried underground away from the elements. Rain Bird decoders are a true lower than 30 voltsystem that utilize a two-wire path of 14-gauge wire connecting the central control system, decoders and valves or valve-in-head sprinklers. Thanks to advanced central control technology and simple wiring requirements, decoders are a smart choice for many golf course renovations. With Rain Bird's Cirrus, Nimbus II and Stratus II Central Control Systems, it is now possible to 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.
