Rain Bird® IC System™

Take an easier path.With an intelligent control module built into every rotor, a Rain Bird® IC System™ gives you

an innovative option for field control—one that eliminates the challenges of satellites and

decoders and lets you communicate directly with every single rotor on your course. Because

achieving elite playing conditions isn’t about working harder—it’s about working smarter.

A Rain Bird IC System combines the rotor and controller into one device, directly linking your rotors to central control with less wire and fewer components.

Simplified Design

Streamlined Installation

Easy Expandability

PINPOINT CONTROL AND DIAGNOSTICS.

With a control module built into every rotor you can

quickly narrow in on problems and make precise

adjustments from anywhere.

• Access diagnostics and control

rotors from anywhere with a

web-enabled smart phone or tablet.

• Check the status of up to 1,500

individual rotors in 90 seconds

or less.

• Manage all troubleshooting

through diagnostics built into

the central control software.

A Revolutionary Approach. With an innovative design that removes unneeded decoders, satellites and wires from your irrigation system, Rain Bird® IC Systems™ offer big time- and money-saving advantages on the way to world-class results.

Integrated Control Module

Central Control Computer

STREAMLINED INSTALLATION

Dramatically cut installation cost and time by eliminating most of the wire

and many of the vulnerable splices.

SIMPLIFIED DESIGN

Simplify your system’s design by eliminating up to

90% of the wire and all of the decoders and satellites.

That not only removes unsightly components

from your course, but eliminates a lot

of unneeded wire costs from

your bottom line.

EASY EXPANDABILITY

IC Systems are built with your future in mind. If your irrigation system ever needs to be

expanded, you can add additional IC rotors anywhere there is a Maxi Wire. IC Systems

have a total capacity of 36,000 individual IC modules.

“ After a lot of research I chose the Rain Bird IC System because I considered it the most technologically advanced and proven system. And we have been extremely happy with our choice. I tell folks that the system is ‘simple yet sophisticated’ – the components of the system are few and simple, yet its capabilities are very sophisticated.”

Hal AkinsDirector of Golf Course Operations
