4 CENTRAL CONTROL Rain Bird are designed with ease of use in mind. These systems effectively integrate advanced technologies and optional software to arrive at solutions that manage water use responsibly to save money and reduce utility costs, while continually enhancing course appearance and improving playability.

5 Systems Overview Rain Bird Offers These : Cirrus Flo-Manager Cirrus By combining Computer Aided Design (CAD) with GPS technology, Cirrus shows you your course like no other central control system can. With state of the art ET based scheduling, customized course graphics and multiple mapping options, controlling your irrigation system is fast and easy. Nimbus II All too often, superintendents or greens committees purchase a central control system that exceeds the irrigation requirements for their golf course. Before deciding which central control system to purchase, think about the level of control you believe is necessary to maintain course appearance and playability, while reducing water, labor and energy costs. Keep in mind, all Rain Bird Central Controls are backward compatible so upgrading your system as the irrigation needs of your course change is easy and affordable. Refer to the chart on the following page to compare the features and irrigation management tools provided with each of these systems. For a superior combination of ET-based scheduling, advanced flow management and Windows based simplicity, Nimbus II is an excellent choice to efficiently control all irrigation applications on up to three individual courses with a maximum of 54 holes. Nimbus II Course Monitor Stratus II For easy-to-use, time- or ET-based scheduling, there s really only one choice Stratus II the one irrigation central control system that combines the point and click simplicity of Windows with intuitive Rain Bird features to control as many as 27 holes. Stratus II Course Monitor StratusLT The Rain Bird Start-up Wizard built right into StratusLT will have you watering your 18-hole golf course in no time from the greens to the roughs, clubhouse to driving range without having to become a computer expert or spend extensive time learning to operate the system. StratusLT now supports ET based scheduling with WS PRO LT and a weather software module. StratusLT Map 5

7 Cirrus Cirrus UNIQUE FEATURES QuickIRR programming is a quick and easy method for automatically building programs to meet your irrigation challenges. Smart Sensors monitor standard in-field sensors to activate alarms, turn off or pause individual programs, schedules or the entire system then turn on or resume the same. Exclusive Cycle + Soak reduces or eliminates wasteful runoff by matching each sprinkler s application rate to the localized soil infiltration rate. Total application of water is precisely controlled regardless of number of cycles. Course monitor screens are intuitively designed to instantly show you exactly what is going on with your course. Pump Profiling automatically manages pump station power consumption during peak electrical rate periods. Industry s only innovative, guided initialization and start up programming results in a customized QuickStart program. Dryrun helps you fine-tune your irrigation programs for peak performance. Smart Weather monitors evapotranspiration (ET) rates and modifies schedules based on actual turf requirements. The highest performance irrigation engine in the industry means you can expect some of the highest Water Window Efficiencies available. Smart Pump links your pump station to your central control system; optimizing each and every irrigation cycle. Smart Pump can also monitor and instantly react to changes in pump station capacity so an overheated motor won t take down your entire irrigation system. Manage up to five (5) different weather stations throughout the golf course and target them to sprinklers in any microclimate on your course. Hybrid technology means your system can adapt to use any combination of field hardware necessary to precisely meet your needs. Cirrus can have up to 12 field interfaces (mix and match). 7

The highest performance irrigation engine in the industry means you can expect some of the highest Water Window Efficiencies available. SOFTWARE OPTIONS Smart Weather Software enhances regular weather software to include weather station call back based on user-defined conditions for any of the instruments, i.e., rainfall, windspeed, temperature, humidity, etc. Smart Sensors monitor standard in-field sensors to activate alarms, turn off or pause individual programs, schedules or the entire system then turn on or resume the same. Station Layers-Map/Operation lets you individually control, manage and program sprinklers directly from the map. Hybrid allows multiple field interface devices on a central. These could be multiple MIMs or LDIs, or a combination of these devices, therefore allowing the possibility of having a decoder system in addition to a satellite system operate from the same central. Nimbus can have up to 8 interfaces (mix and match). Manage up to five (5) different weather stations throughout the golf course and target them to sprinklers in any microclimate on your course.
