Rain Bird LXIVM2WMOD ESP-LXIVM Replacement 2-Wire Base Module (F46170)

Rain Bird LXIVM2WMOD ESP-LXIVM 2-Wire Replacement Module

The Rain Bird LXIVM2WMOD (MFG# F46170) is the spare IVM 2-wire interface module that mounts inside an ESP-LXIVM or ESP-LXIVM Pro controller. It is the cabinet-side module that talks to IVM-SOL, IVM-OUT, IVM-SEN, and IVM-SD field devices — not a field decoder itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LXIVM2WMOD a field decoder like IVM-SOL?
No. LXIVM2WMOD is the replacement module that lives in the controller cabinet. IVM-SOL, IVM-OUT, and IVM-SEN go on the 2-wire path in the field.

What controllers take Rain Bird LXIVM2WMOD?
ESP-LXIVM and ESP-LXIVM Pro only. It is not a station module for ESP-LXME or ESP-LXD.

Do I need to remap the 2-wire path after replacing the module?
Yes. After the spare module is seated and powered, run 2-wire mapping so the controller finds shorts, opens, and device addresses again.

Is F46170 the same part as LXIVM2WMOD?
Yes. F46170 is the Rain Bird manufacturing number for this replacement 2-wire base module.
