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.

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.

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.”
