Rain Bird 202 (FD-202) 2-Way Field Decoder

Rain Bird FD-202 two-address field decoder

The FD-202 provides two independently addressed outputs on a compatible Rain Bird ESP-LXD or SiteControl two-wire system. Each address can operate one or two compatible irrigation solenoids.

Output and compatibility

• Two decoder addresses.
• Up to two solenoids per address, subject to the controller and solenoid design.
• Both addresses can operate independently.
• If two solenoids share one address, those two valves open and close together.
• Fully waterproof for valve-box installation or direct burial to Rain Bird requirements.

Installation note: Record both factory-coded addresses against the station plan. Use approved waterproof joints and follow the two-wire design for cable routing, grounding and surge protection.

On-page guidance: The gallery shows Rain Bird FD decoder address and solenoid capacities for ESP-LXD systems, plus the manufacturer’s typical valve-box wiring layout. The layout illustrates one valve; the number of output pairs depends on the decoder model. Match every output pair and address to the valve plan, use approved 3M DBR/Y waterproof splice kits on the two-wire path and follow the complete system instructions for earthing, surge protection and cable limits.
