TECH SPECS

Vertical Centrifugal Pump Stations

Features

Testing

All Rain Bird pump stations undergo

rigorous quality testing at the

manufacturing site. This includes

operating the completely assembled pump

station at its designed capacity to ensure

that it is fully calibrated.

Variable speed control

All Rain Bird pump stations use electronic

variable speed technology. Variable speed

controlled pump sets maintain a constant

pressure against variable flow. Variable

speed control provides a smooth

automated start and stop of the pumpstation and an extremely quiet low

vibration operation.

Remote control from your PC through

RB Sweden Pump Manager Software

The RB Sweden Pump Manager software

offers the possibility to remotely control

the pump station from a PC. The pump

station is connected to the irrigation PC

with Rain Bird 2 x 2.5 mm2cable and two

modems or via radio communication. This

also allows for troubleshooting of the

pump station from a remote location.

The possibility to direct link your Pump

Station to your Central Control system

through Smart Pump.

This exclusive software module available

with Rain Bird Site Control, Stratus LT,

StratusII, NimbusII and Cirrus Central

Control systems allows you to link your

Rain Bird pump station directly with the

irrigation central control system. Monitors

and graphs both actual and controlled

flow. Direct and real-time communication

between the pump station and the

irrigation central optimizes your irrigationcycle by adjusting flow demand according

to actual field conditions.
