## Description
RC2 is Rain Bird's mobile-first 8-zone indoor/outdoor controller with Wi-Fi already in the cabinet. Quick Pair setup and the same free Rain Bird app as LNK2 — without buying a separate module. It is the simple swap when the old timer is coming off the wall and the job is eight valves or fewer.
Programming is three programs and four start times per program, station timing from one minute to six hours, and seasonal adjust from 5% to 200%. A rain-sensor input and master-valve / pump-start terminal are on the board. Nonvolatile memory keeps the schedule through a power cut.
Rain Bird lists RC2 as an EPA WaterSense approved smart controller without requiring an extra Wi-Fi accessory. Still confirm your water district's model list before you promise a rebate — some forms name LNK2 + TM2/ME3 instead.
Do not add LNK2 to an RC2. If you need more than eight stations or FG100 flow, the platform controller is ESP-ME3.
