Features
IC-IN Integrated Control Sensor Input Device
The Rain Bird® IC-IN Integrated Control Sensor Input Device (IC-IN) is an interface device for the Rain Bird® IC System™ that receives readings from sensor devices with output types of: 0-10VDC voltage, 4-20mA DC Current, contact closure, or pulse output (counting, rate). The IC-IN translates sensor readings into the IC system protocol and communicates the sensor readings to the Central Control computer on a MAXI™ wire path; further enhancing the industry leading capability of the Rain Bird IC System.
IC-OUT Integrated Control Output Device
The Rain Bird® IC-OUT Integrated Control Output Device (IC-OUT) is an output device for the Rain Bird IC System that enables activation of external equipment. The IC-OUT provides a pulse output similar to the ICM which can be used to activate DC latching solenoids or a DC Latching Relay for activation of high power devices. IC-OUT employs two-way communication using the IC system protocol on a MAXI™ wire path to receive commands from the Rain Bird central control computer to turn on/off external devices; further enhancing the industry-leading capability of the Rain Bird IC System.
Diverse Applications
Integrated with Rain Bird’s innovative Central Control software IC-IN can be used to view and respond to Smart Sensors™, flow (Flo-Watch™), rain (Rain Watch™), pressure, temperature, wind speed, reservoir levels and more. IC-OUT can be used to control external devices including pumps, fans, gates, fountains, lights, motorized valves, DC latching solenoids and more.
Simple and Elegant Design
IC-IN and IC-OUT can be connected to any IC System MAXI™ wire path (wire path can be shared with multiple ICM, IC-OUT or IC-IN devices).
- Each IC-IN is equivalent to 15 ICMs towards the maximum 750 ICMs per MAXI™ wire path.
- Each IC-IN is equivalent to 1 ICM for determining placement of ICSD surge protection devices.
- Each IC-OUT is equivalent to 1 ICM towards maximum 750 ICMs per MAXI™ wire path.
- Each IC-OUT is equivalent to 1 ICM for determining placement of ICSD surge protection devices.
- 20KV Surge Protection
Design Flexibility
When connected to an ICI interface, IC-IN and IC-OUT can be used in a hybrid design configuration with Satellite field controllers and/or decoders.
Diagnostics
In all sensor configurations, IC-IN status can be polled from the central software to confirm communication. IC-OUT supports the familiar status, voltage, on/off, and quick check diagnostics from the central software.
