The RKD Control System requires the RKLD-050 decoder. Tucor

SURGE PROTECTORS
All electrically controlled irrigation systems should have proper grounding
installed to protect against potentially damaging electrical surges. Tucor two-wire
control systems utilize SP-100 surge protectors to provide this protection.
SP-100 surge protectors are installed at regular intervals along the two-wire path
and connected to a ground rod at each ground point.
