Rain Bird Integrated Control System (IC SystemTM)
With the IC Series System, you have the ability to utilize all of Rain Bird’s central control “Smart Features” including: Rain Watch, Minimum ET,™ Smart Weather,™ Smart Pump,™ and Superior Monitoring of system operation
Features
Simple to Install
Features
Simple to Install
Requires up to 90% less wire than traditional satellite control systems and 50% fewer splices than a traditional decoder system.
Cost Savings
Fewer splices and less wire require less time and effort to install the system.
System Database Management
The Integrated Control Module (ICM) offers tear off bar codes and an easy to use scanner to simplify the creation of the central control system database for quick operation. As soon as the wire path is connected to the computer, you can turn on the sprinklers and valves.
Reliable Control
The IC System is a simple yet sophisticated controller/rotor/valve system built around a new generation of Rain Bird’s proven solenoid and satellite technology. Simplicity results in reliability.
Easier to Design
The IC System is easier to design— only simple calculations are required. It eliminates an array of troublesome considerations—there are no satellite controllers to design around or conceal.
Easier Maintenance
The IC System is capable of intelligent, two–way communication with each and every ICM on the golf course. Almost all troubleshooting can be managed through intuitive diagnostics built into the central control software. The learning curve for maintenance is minimal.
Course technicians can easily accomplish most maintenance tasks. The ICM is easily removed and can be replaced if necessary.
Dependable
The IC System is designed to always turn off if problems occur. When the wire path is damaged or cut, or if central control communication is lost, the ICM is designed to turn off automatically.
True “Below 30 Volt Control System”
As the IC System wire path output is 26.5 Volt, the IC System is a “true less than 30 Volt control system.” A lower than 30 Volt system is considered a low voltage system and is typically not subjected to code requirements regarding deep burial of the wire path.
Below Ground Control
Since the ICM is built right into the rotor or valve, the entire control system is below ground. Unlike field controller systems, the below ground system offers protection against damage from vandalism, flooding and insects.
Since the IC System control is designed to be entirely below ground, the golf course vistas are clear of irrigation components as envisioned by the golf course designer.
The IC System allows the full benefits of Rain Bird central control systems including: ET-based scheduling, customized course graphics, multiple mapping options, and the ability to “see” the placement and operation of individual rotors.
