Product catalog summary
Overview: The RKD is a decoder-based, 2-wire controller designed to support 1-100 stations (valves) using the RKLD-050 decoder. It is suitable for various fields including landscape, turf, greenhouse, nursery, industrial agriculture, and golf.
Specifications:
  • RKLD-050 Line Decoder: Dimensions are 1.5" x 1.4" x 2.3" with an 11" lead length. It is ordered in box quantities of 10.
  • SP-100 Surge Protector: Normal spark-over voltage is 230V, with a maximum of 450V. It can handle a maximum current of 20 kA. Installation is required every 500 feet and at the end of a wire run, with a resistance to ground of 50Ω or less.
  • Tucor Wire: Features polyvinylchloride insulation and polyethylene jacket, available in sizes 12-18 AWG and colors such as red, green, yellow, orange, and blue. Spool lengths are 500, 1000, and 2500 feet, with some colors and sizes available by special order.
Performance: The number of simultaneous programs and the distribution of valves along the 2-wire path vary by wire gauge (AWG). For example, with AWG 18, up to 7,000 feet can be covered with one program, decreasing as more programs are added.
Recommendations: Use Tucor wire for secure, watertight connections and the SP-100 surge protector to minimize disruptions from lightning.
