Features

Dynamic integration. Fully automatic.
When paired with a Rain Bird Central Control System, the Integrated Sensor System can automatically adjust sprinkler run times to reach maintain desired moisture levels, minimizing water consumption, resulting in healthier turf and better playing conditions.

Intelligent monitoring. 
As a standalone system, the ISS analyses soil moisture and calculates water budget recommendations for any golf course.

Maximum accuracy. 
Zero calibration. The ISS uses research-grade soil sensors backed by years of field experience. These sensors have been vetted by multiple academic peer- reviews. The ISS takes highly accurate readings of soil moisture, salinity and temperature immediately following installation and without calibration – for easy installation and immediate accuracy.

Adjustable soil sensing rate. 
With the Rain Bird ISS, the frequency of soil sensing measurements can be adjusted to match course needs.

Dependable results. 
Sensor readings are automatically stored by the data logger on Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) storage cards. Data is not lost due to power outages or wireless communication issues.

Dependable communication. 
The ISS uses a proven wireless mesh network which ensures the necessary range of transmission and a secured traffic from the data logger to the Soil Manager™ software.

Simple installation. 
Network devices (data loggers and repeaters) are battery-powered and easy to install. There is no AC power source to worry about.

Improves turf health, course consistency and playability.
The ISS can help deliver more consistent turf quality, anticipate plant stress, weed germination, pest infestations and other factors. You can use less water to flush salts from the soil profile.

  • Features

    Flo-Watch™: Flo-Watch functionality in the ESP-ME3 controller uses information from the MJ100B to constantly monitor for low-flow and excess-flow conditions caused by broken lines or heads. When a problem is detected, it automatically shuts the area down, while continuing to irrigate non-affected areas. This saves water, protects plants and prevents flooding and property damage
    Learned Flow: The MJ100B Flow Sensor works with ESP-ME3 Controllers to automatically learn appropriate station flow rates, resulting in greater accuracy. This automatic collection prevents you from having to manually enter data or physically visit each valve to collect flow data
    LNK™ WiFi: When the LNK WiFi Module is used, homeowners are given total control of their system from any smartphone or tablet
    Rain Bird App: Control your irrigation system from anywhere. Available in the App Store or Google Play
    Active management of irrigation when paired with the ESP-ME3 Controller  
    Delivers precise accuracy with flow ranges from 1.2 gpm to 50 gpm
