ADVANCED CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES
IC System™
Integrated Control System™ (IC System)
Rotors and Valves
Now, Integrated Control Technology is built into the rotor and valve for
easy, streamlined control. The Rain Bird® IC System™ connects central
control directly to the rotor or valve. No field controllers, separate
decoders, secondary wiring or unnecessary splices mean fewer areas
that can breakdown, wear out or malfunction.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
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 28.5 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.
Golf Course Aesthetics – 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.
Central Control “Smart Features” – With the IC System, you have
the ability to utilize all of Rain Bird’s central control “Smart Features”
including: Minimum ET,™ Smart Weather,™ Smart Pump,™ and superior
monitoring of system operation.
