Rain Bird MAXI Grounding Plate Assembly – Essential Surge Protection Mounting

The Rain Bird MAXI Grounding Plate Assembly (MGP-1) is a critical component designed to enhance the surge protection of Rain Bird's decoder-based irrigation control systems. It provides a secure mounting platform for the MAXI Surge Pipe (MSP-1), ensuring effective grounding and safeguarding of your irrigation infrastructure.

Key Features:

• Secure Mounting Platform: The MGP-1 offers a stable base for installing the MSP-1 surge pipe, facilitating direct attachment to grounding rods or pipes.
• Enhanced System Protection: By grounding the surge protection devices, the grounding plate assembly helps shield controllers, decoders, and solenoid valves from electrical surges, thereby prolonging the lifespan of your irrigation components.
• Versatile Installation: Designed for use with various Rain Bird systems, including ESP-LXD, SiteControl, Stratus LT, Stratus II, Nimbus II, and Rain Bird IC systems, the MGP-1 is suitable for both new installations and retrofits.
• Durable Construction: Constructed from high-quality materials, the grounding plate assembly ensures long-term reliability and performance in diverse environmental conditions.

Installation Guidelines:

• Placement: Install the MGP-1 grounding plate assembly at the point where the irrigation signal cable enters the field, ensuring optimal protection against electrical surges.
• Compatibility: Ensure that the grounding plate is properly connected to the MSP-1 surge pipe and securely attached to a suitable grounding rod or pipe as per Rain Bird's installation instructions.

Incorporating the Rain Bird MAXI Grounding Plate Assembly into your irrigation system is a proactive measure to protect against electrical surges, ensuring the longevity and reliability of your irrigation control components.
