Multi-Site Central Control System - The Tool of Choice for Water Managers!

Applications
Maxicom² Central Control Systems are designed for multi-site commercial or industrial irrigation applications. Hundreds of sites and weather sources can be controlled and monitored from one location through telephone, radio, cellular telephone, direct-connect, fiber-optic, or Ethernet communication. Automated ET based irrigation control and the most flexible scheduling system allows control of multiple sites to exact specifications, making it ideal for municipalities, school districts, and parks.

Features
• Multiple Sites – A Maxicom² system utilizes the Central Controller installed at a primary location. Information is transmitted from this Central Controller to a Cluster Control Unit (CCU) or ESP-SITE Satellite in the field.
• Low Flow Alarm – The Low Flow Alarm feature is designed to notify users when the flow in a designated section of the irrigation system falls below a pre-determined threshold level, or when there is no flow (zero flow) when flow is
• Odd/ Even Scheduling – This feature provides users the ability to program their system to irrigate on Odd, Even, or Odd31 days. Also included in the Odd/Even programming is an Exclusion Days feature, which allows designation of weekdays when irrigation should not occur (based on a seven-day week).
• From the Maxicom² central controller, irrigation systems at multiple sites can be scheduled for days to water, run times, cyclical scheduling, linking schedules, sensor starts, cycle and soak schedules, etc.
• Irrigation start days are easily scheduled to meet complex watering requirements. Start days can be based on a custom day pattern per a weekly calendar, odd/even/odd31 days, or skip days (starting on a designated date and skipping X
days between irrigation starts). Event days off allow designation of non-water days (mow days, special events, etc).
• Station operating times can be automatically adjusted in response to changing daily ET (evapotranspiration) values supplied by a Rain Bird Weather Station or user input.
• Irrigation and weather factors, such as soil infiltration rate and rainfall intensity, can be compared to determine the exact effect weather has on irrigation needs.
• Cycle+Soak™ feature optimizes the watering of poor drainage sites, slopes, and heavy soil
• Manual operation of system from the central controller or from the field satellite units.
• Operation of lighting systems (such as athletic field lighting), security gates, fountains, pumps, sensors, or other systems can also be managed from one central Maxicom² location.
• Weather sources can be monitored by Maxicom² calculating daily ET values and automatically adjusting station run times to replace only the water used.
• Flo-Watch™ monitors hydraulic conditions in the field, checking for breaks in system piping or valve malfunctions. In the event of an overflow
problem (line break, etc), the system will automatically identify where the problem is located, initiate valve or mainline shutdown, and send an alarm message identifying where the problem occurred and the action taken to isolate the problem.
• Flo-Manager™ monitors and sequences valves scheduled to be turned on, so expected demand does not exceed hydraulic capacity.
• Schedules can start, advance, pause, or cancel
according to sensor input (rain, wind, etc) from the field.
• Alarm message automatically alerts the user of problems in the field.
• Remote System Control - Take control of your system and operate Maxicom² from anywhere using the Rain Bird FREEDOM System.
