Product Description
Earthing Rod for 2 wire decoder Systems
- The controller and the 2-Wire path must be properly surge protected and grounded. Doing so can help prevent damage to the controller and irrigation system and also significantly reduce troubleshooting, repair time and expense.
- Failure to do so could result in failure of your controller and voiding the warranty.

- Ensure that all grounding devices are compliant with local electrical codes.
