BENEFITSMaintain constant optimal water pressure to prevent mistingand evaporation of water due to high pressure. Every 5 psireduction in pressure reduces water usage by 6-8%.

Prevent water from draining out of the irrigation system at the lowest head, eliminating puddling,erosion and run-off.

Provide uniform distribution of water, eliminating run-off on slopes or compacted soil and reducingwater usage up to 30%.

Allow several shorter and more precise run times toprevent run-off and puddles.

Applies water at a rate that the soil can more easilyabsorb, reducing erosion, run-off and waste.

Deliver precise amounts of water at or near plant rootzones for maximum efficiency. By providing nourishmentdirectly to root systems, water is used more efficiently,plants are healthier, and run-off and over-spray areeliminated.

Automatically shut off the controller when it is rainingor when sufficient soil moisture is detected, resultingin water savings of 15-20%.

Postpones the irrigation schedule when watering isn’tneeded and automatically resumes watering whenappropriate.

Provides easy and flexible adjustments to the amountof water used for irrigation to accommodate seasonalchanges.

Enables the controller to apply only the water requiredby the landscape to reduce water consumption andmaintain a healthy landscape.

Offer the flexibility to water various landscape zones atdifferent times and for varying durations to preventwater waste.

Offer the flexibility of applying different amounts ofwater to plants based on their individual needs.

Introduction

The 2003 - 2004 Rain Bird Landscape Irrigation Products Catalog

is designed to provide you with product and application information in a clear, easy-to-use format.

In the “How to Use This Catalog” section, we introduce you to elements you will likely encounter

on specific product pages.

At the beginning of each section, we’ve included product application matrices. These are general

guides to the products’ primary areas of use and are intended to help you choose the right Rain

Bird products for your specific needs.

We have included formulas showing how we calculate precipitation rates, as well as lists of

abbreviations used in the product sections.

How to Use This Catalog

CutawaysOur cutaway illustrations let you see the unique innovationsand features which make a specific Rain Bird product theindustry’s best.

ChartsPerformance charts with both standard and metric measurements give you easyaccess to the product capability information you need.To convert from Bars to kPa,use 1 Bar = 100 kPa.

Precipitation RatesRain Bird has calculated for you the precipitation rates for our comprehensive lines of impacts, sprays, and rotors. These rates are an indication of the approximate rate at which water is beingapplied. The equations used to calculate the precipitation rates areas follows:

Square SpacingU.S.: Metric:PR=96.3 x GPM PR=1000 x m3/h

S x S S x S

Triangular SpacingU.S.: Metric:PR=96.3 x GPM PR=1000 x m3/h

S x L S x L

96.3 = Constant (inches/square foot/hour)1000 = Constant (millimeter/square meter/hour)GPM = Gallons per minute (applied to area by sprinklers)m3/h = Cubic meters per hour (applied to area by sprinklers)S = Spacing between sprinklersL = Spacing between rows (S x 0.866)

Install the proof.

Cycle surge durability test results prove the

Rain Bird 1804 Spray Head is more than three times

stronger than the competition. The 1804 Spray Head

lasted an average of 7,338 cycles while Competitor A

lasted an average of only 2,295 cycles and Competitor

B lasted an average of only 1,709 cycles.

Accelerated life cycle test results prove the Rain Bird

1804 Spray Head is more than twice as reliable as

the competition. All 1804 Spray Heads tested were

still operating after 14,400 cycles. Competitor A start-

ed failing at 4,330 cycles and Competitor B started

failing at 6,325 cycles.

25 years of testing and in-field installations prove

that the Rain Bird 1800-SAM-PRS Series delivers

unsurpassed performance when compared to its

competition. The 1800-SAM Series prevents drainage

from spray heads installed at lower elevations, which

conserves water and eliminates landscape damage

due to flooding and/or erosion. The 1800-PRS Series

ensures optimal system performance and restricts

water loss by up to 70% if the nozzle is removed or

damaged.

Balances lateral line pressure to ensure the outlet pressure at eachspray head is a constant 30 psi—the result is the even distribution ofwater from each spray head.

Ends misting and fogging by regulating incoming pressure to an opti-mal 30 psi at the nozzle—the result is a reduction in the use of water.

Reduces water loss by 70% if the nozzle is removed or damaged—theresult is a reduction in property damage due to flooding.

Advanced nozzle technology assures superior water distribution.

Advanced nozzle technology assures superior water distribution.

Going head-to-headagainst the competition.The benefit of Rain Bird® U-Series nozzles is clearly visible in side-by-side comparisons with standard, single-orificespray nozzles. The second orifice on the U-Series allows forsuperior close-in watering.2 With the efficiency of U-Seriesnozzles, you may reduce watering times by more than 30%.1

Refer to the example on the left to see how. U-Series nozzleshave the lowest scheduling coefficient available in a sprayhead nozzle.3

Rain Bird® U-Series nozzles producespray patterns from two orifices2 toform a continuous water stream.The result is that gaps in coverage areeliminated so the entire watering area is more uniformly covered.

U-Series nozzles (right), with an additional orifice for close-inwatering, minimize dry spots around the spray head for more uniform coverage throughout the entire watering area.

What is Scheduling Coefficient?Scheduling Coefficient (SC) is a measure of irrigationuniformity developed for turf grass.4

SC measures how much more you must water theentire area for the driest sections to receive suffi-cient water.

The lower the SC, the better the spray head nozzle distributes water.

Competitor A and B nozzles fail to provide efficient close-in watering which results in a higher schedulingcoefficient.

Patented U-SeriesWater flowing from both orifices2 results in a lower schedulingcoefficient. This efficient design conserves water, savesmoney and reduces waste.

Competitor A Competitor B

1 Your results may vary based on site-specific conditions such as sprinkler spacing, wind,temperature, soil and grass type.

2 Not applicable for single orifice full-circle nozzles. These nozzles form larger water droplets with a lower trajectory, which resist wind and eliminate watering gaps for moreuniform distribution.

Double-Orifice Plastic Nozzles

Plastic U-Series NozzlesUse 30% Less Water*

Primary ApplicationThe patented U-Series nozzle is the first plastic nozzle with a sec-ond orifice for close-in watering and more uniform water distribu-tion. Use up to 30% less water.* Its unique design cuts watering run times, saves water and money, and reduces waste.Features

•Additional orifice for close-in watering. Minimizes dry brownspots around spray heads.

•Low Scheduling Coefficient for efficient watering.** •Matched precipitation rate between sets and matched flow

(GPM, m 3/h and l/s) and precipitation rates with 1800 Series MPRnozzles.

•Greater flexibility. Now, with the new 8’ and 10’ nozzles, a com-plete family of fixed arc U-Series nozzles.

•Fine mesh screen protects bottom orifice from debris.•Stainless steel adjustment screw to adjust flow and radius.•Five-year trade warranty.•Fits all Rain Bird sprinklers and shrub adapters.* When U-Series dual-orifice nozzles are installed instead of standard nozzles onevery spray head in the zone. Results may vary based on site-specific conditionssuch as sprinkler spacing, wind, temperature, soil and grass type.

**Scheduling Coefficient (SC) measures the efficiency of spray heads. SC measureshow much more you must water your ENTIRE area for the driest sections to receivesufficient water. The lower the SC, the better the spray heads distribute water.

Operating Range•Spacing: 5 to 15 feet (1,8 to 4,6 m)•Pressure: 15 to 30 psi (1,0 to 2,1 bars)•Optimum pressure: 30 psi (2,1 bars) ** Rain Bird recommends using 1800 PRS spray heads to maintain optimum

nozzle performance in higher pressure situations.

1800 PCS Screens

Pressure Compensating Screens

1800 PCS

Primary ApplicationUnder the nozzle pressure compensation screens help reduce pressure flunctuations. Use to control fogging of spray nozzles byreducing the incoming pressure or to reduce the radius of the waterpattern. Take control of your system with 1800 PCS screens.

Features•Compensates for pressure variations.•Eliminates fogging and water waste caused by high pressures.•Nozzles can be matched with screens to create short-throw,

reduced-radius patterns and/or flush-mounted bubblers.•New .08 GPM (0,02 m3/h; 0,01 l/s) and .25 GPM (0,06 m3/h; 0,02 l/s)

screens allow greater flexibility in achieving 4', 6', and 7' radius patterns

•Color-coded for easy identification•Use with all 1800 Series plastic nozzles (MPR, VAN, U-Series,

Strips and Bubblers).•Easily installed in new and retrofit applications. Simply replace

standard screen with PCS screen.

* With a pressure compensator, outlet pressure will be reduced, but will fluctuate as the inlet pressure changes. A pressure compensator cannot maintain outlet pressure at a constant rate. A pressure regulator establishes and maintains a constantoutlet pressure of 30 psi (2,1 bars) as long as the inlet pressure at the spray head isgreater than 30 psi (2,1 bars).

Operating Range•Flow: 0.10 to 3.70 GPM (0,05 to 0,84 m 3/h; 0,01 to 0,23 l/s)•Pressure: 15 to 70 psi (1,0 to 4,8 bars)

*Based on tests conducted at Rain Bird’s Product Research Center in Glendora, CA.Test results reflect a comparison of Rain Bird’s products with those

of its principal competitors.**Based on a report published by The Center for Irrigation Technology.

How is Nozzle Performance Measured?Scheduling Coefficient (SC) is one of the most accurateways to measure water distribution.

SC measures how much longer you must water the entirearea for the driest sections to receive sufficient water.

The lower the SC, the better the rotor distributes water.An SC of 1.0 represents perfect uniformity. Tests showthat even rain has an SC greater than 1.0.**

Test results from side-by-side comparisons withcompetitive nozzle products prove that Rain Curtaintechnology consistently outperforms the competitionwith the lowest scheduling coefficients—as low as 1.1.*

Only Rain Bird® rotors have Rain Curtain™ nozzle technology thatfeatures larger water droplets for resistance to windy conditions,effective close-in watering to eliminate dry spots near the rotorand even distribution over the entire radius range. In side-by-sidecomparisons with the competition, the clear advantages of RainCurtain technology can be seen with the naked eye.

There are three elements which create the superior coverageof Rain Curtain nozzle technology.

Rain Curtain technology produces larger water droplets that are far less susceptible to wind, and greatly minimizes misting andairborne evaporation. This competitive advantage assures that theright amount of water goes where it needs to go which saves time,money and equally important, one of nature’s most valuableresources.

Rain Bird’s broad range of Rain Curtain nozzles [0.54-36.3 GPM(0,12-8,24 m3/h), 15-81 ft. (4,6-24,7m)] is engineered to deliveroptimum distribution uniformity across the entire radius range.This uniformity compensates for varying environmental conditions,offering flexibility to the designer and assuring green grass results.

In Rain Bird large area rotors, Rain Curtain technology centersaround three watering ports that deliver long-range,mid-rangeand close-in water for optimum distribution uniformity. Thisuniformity across the entire radius range greatly diminishesdependence on near-perfect head-to-head spacing, andreduces the need to overwater because there are no gaps incoverage. The close-in watering port features an expansionchamber that actually takes energy out of that part of thestream which is diverted downward around the head. Byreducing the velocity of the water by as much as 90%, effectiveclose-in watering is achieved. The close-in water flowing out ofthe bottom of this port is distributed gently, even though therotor is operating at a relatively high flow and pressure.

Effective and gentle close-in watering eliminates dry spots aroundthe rotor without seed washout.

5000/5000 Plus MPR Nozzles

Rotor Nozzles

5000/5000 Plus MPR NozzlesAchieve Matched Precipitation Rate Between 25' and 35'

Primary ApplicationRain Bird 5000/5000 Plus MPR Nozzles simplify both the designprocess and the installation of rotors, because they reliably delivermatched precipitation rates within and between rotor radii from 25'to 35'. Without having to use fixed arc plates, designers andinstallers can achieve MPR using either 5000 Series or 5000 PlusSeries Rotors. Superior flexibility in arc adjustment minimizes therisks of over- or under-watering.

Features•Three Nozzle trees of 25', 30', and 35' (7,6 m, 9,1 m, 10,7 m) radii•Each tree contains a Q (90°), T (120°), H (180°), and F (360°) Nozzle•No fixed arc plate required•Compatible with both the 5000 and 5000 Plus Rotor Series•Rain Curtain™ Technology provides:

Recommendations

1. Rain Bird recommends flow rates in the supply line not to exceed 7.5 ft./sec.

(2,29 m/s) in order to reduce the effects of water hammer.

2. For flows below 5 GPM (1,14 m3⁄h; 0,32 l/s), Rain Bird recommends use of

upstream filtration to prevent debris from collecting below the diaphragm.

3. For flows below 10 GPM (2,27 m3⁄h; 0,63 l/s) Rain Bird recommends the flow

control stem be turned down two full turns from the fully open position.

Primary ApplicationThe PRS-Dial is an excellent means of regulating outlet pressureat the valve regardless of incoming pressure fluctuations. The vis-ible scale makes installation quick and easy. The regulator fits allRain Bird PGA, PEB, PESB, GB, EFB-CP, BPE and BPES seriesvalves. The dial cartridge retrofits easily into existing PRS-B units.

Features•Regulates and maintains constant outlet pressure between 15 and

100 psi (1,04 to 6,90 bars) within ±3 psi (±0,21 bars).•Adjustment knob with detents permits fine-tune setting in 1⁄3 psi

(0,02 bar) increments.•Dial cartridge makes installation and adjustment quick, easy and

accurate.• Improved spike reduction capabilities reduce water hammer.•Ergonomic design with snap-tight cover to prevent vandalism.•Waterproof dial cartridge eliminates fogging and binding.•Dial cartridge retrofits into all existing PRS-B units.•Schrader valve connects pressure hose gauge, ordered separately.•Easy field installation. PRS-Dial threads underneath the solenoid

and adapter.•Corrosion-resistant glass-filled nylon for rugged performance.

Operating Range•Pressure: up to 100 psi (6,90 bars)*•Regulation: 15 to 100 psi (1,04 to 6,90 bars)•Accuracy: ±3 psi (±0,21 bar)•Flow: refer to chart* While the PRS-Dial unit can withstand pressures up to 200 psi (13,80 bars), accurate pressure

Application Information•Proper operation requires inlet pressure to be a minimum of

15 psi (1,04 bars) higher than desired outlet pressure.•For areas with very high pressure or uneven terrain, install

sprinklers with PRS pressure regulating stems and/or SAM checkvalves.

•When inlet pressure exceeds 100 psi (6,90 bars), a pressure regulating master valve or inline pressure regulator is required.

•Rain Bird does not recommend using the pressure regulating module for applications outside the recommended flow ranges.

•To reduce the effects of water hammer, Rain Bird recommends flow rates in the supply line not to exceed 7.5 ft/sec (2,29 m/s).

•For flows below 5 GPM (1,14 m3/h; 0,32 l/s), Rain Bird recommends the use of upstream filtration to prevent debris from collecting below the valve diaphragm.

Valve Wire Sizing Procedure

Step 1Determine actual distance, along wire run, from controller out to the first valve on a circuit and between each succeeding valve on a multiple valve circuit (as shown in example below). Example:(Two watt solenoid, 26.5 volt transformer at 150 psi water pressureat valves.)

Step 2Calculate the equivalent circuit length for each valve circuit on thecontroller. (See chart on following page)

Step 3Selecting Common Ground Wire Size: Using the longest equivalentlength calculated above, go to the appropriate valve chart andselect a ground wire and a control wire that are as close to thesame size as possible (the ground wire size should always be equalto or one size larger than the control wire size.) In the exampleabove, the circuit for station #3 has the longest equivalent length,7000 feet. In the chart (for this example use the high pressure chartfor 150 psi water pressure at the valve and a 26.5 volt transformer)select a wire size combination of size 14 and 12 wire. Select common ground wire as size 12 wire. Since one common groundwire shall be used for all valves on the controller, you have nowestablished the common ground wire size for that controller as size12 wire.

Step 4 Sizing Circuit Control Wires: Using the common ground wire sizeselected in Step 3 (size 12), proceed to select each control wire size from the chart using the calculated equivalent length for each circuit.

Station #1: Equiv. Length = 1 valve x 2000 ft. = 2000 ft.select size 18 control wireStation #2: Equiv. Length = (1 valve x 1000 ft.) + (2 valves x 2000 ft.) = 5000 ft. select size 16 control wireStation #3: Equiv. Length = (1 valve x 500 ft.) + (2 valves x 1000 ft.)+ (3 valves x 1500 ft.) =7000 ft. select size 14 control wire

Competitive Advantages of Contamination Resistant Design.The Rain Bird ESP-MC controller features superior componentsto increase protection against environmental contaminationwhen the cabinet door is left open. Just a few of thesecomponents include:

• Overlay with membrane switches• Rubber boot on the sensor switch• Battery compartment with door• Strategically positioned gaskets

Going Head-to-Head with the Competition.

To measure the effectiveness of Rain Bird’s ESP-MCContamination Resistant Design, side-by-side waterinfiltration tests were conducted. The doors were removedfrom two competitor controller products and the Rain BirdESP-MC controller. The controllers were then subjected to ahigh-pressure water stream inside a closed environment. Aspray head—operating at 60 psi—was used as the watersource.

The following chart reflects the results of the water infiltrationtest. The Rain Bird ESP-MC with its Contamination ResistantDesign dramatically outperformed the competition. TheRain Bird ESP-MC sustained no permanent damage duringthe four-hour water infiltration test, unlike the two competitorcontroller products that were permanently damaged after justa couple of minutes.

Competitive Advantagesof Advanced Surge Protection.Lightning strikes are one of the biggest enemies of controllerproducts. They generate powerful surges that damage electroniccircuitry inside. Lightning strikes are not only very powerful but oftenoccur multiple times in rapid succession. Each surge further weakenscircuitry. As the following charts indicate, the Rain Bird® ESP-MCcontroller provides many times the protection against powerful singleand multiple surges created by lightning when compared to thecompetition.

Going Head-to-Head with the Competition.To measure the effectiveness of Rain Bird’s Advanced SurgeProtection, side-by-side comparisons with the competition wereconducted. The surges generated during the test are similar to surgesaffecting controller products during nearby lightning strikes. The clearadvantage of Advanced Surge Protection can be seen in the followingcharts.* The Rain Bird ESP-MC controller sustained no damage aftersingle and multiple surges of up to 20,000 Volts were applied, unlikethe two competitor controller products that were permanentlydamaged after surges of less than 2,500 Volts were applied.

Key FeaturesSystem MonitoringSystem monitoring may consist of many different sensors such as weatherstations, flow meters, rain sensors, and wind sensors. These sensors mon-itor site conditions and report to the system. The central system automati-cally responds if any field conditions are outside the pre-defined limits setby the system operator.

System ControlA central control system allows all actions to be carried out easily and effi-ciently from the central location. Control actions such as adjusting water-ing or stopping irrigation in the event of rain or high wind can be automat-ically accomplished without requiring a technician to visit individual fieldcontrollers. A weather station can be connected to the system to preciselycalculate the amount of water required based on climatic conditions.

System CommunicationsA central control system consists of a central computer, irrigation con-trollers or decoders, sensors and weather stations, and a communicationsystem to connect them all. Communications can depend on whether acomputer is located on-site, or if the computer is located remotely.Communications methods include hardwire, direct-connect, fiber optics,telephone, cellular, and radio.

Rain Bird Central Control SystemsMaxicom2®

Maxicom2 by Rain Bird makes irrigation management a simple, accurate,and labor-efficient task. It’s a central control system that helps you achievesuperior water management effectiveness – for hundreds of sites.Maxicom2 is ideal for municipalities, school districts, and park and recre-ation departments.

SiteControlIf you need powerful central control but only for a single, large, contiguoussite, SiteControl by Rain Bird provides dynamic map-based control andinstantaneous exchange of information between the field and central con-trol system. Offering both two-wire decoder and field satellite solutions,SiteControl is a system that offers unmatched features and expandabilityand is ideal for college or corporate campuses, housing communities,cemeteries, and resorts and hotels.

MDC Two-Wire Decoder SystemThe MDC offers unmatched expandability in an inexpensive system thatprovides fast and easy installation. High/low flow shut-off, alarms, sensorinputs, modular expandability and diagnostic tools are just some of the fea-tures of the system. Its programming and monitoring software allows youto remotely download irrigation schedules from the controller, review sys-tem data, make changes, and then upload the new schedule program.Recommended for strip malls, median strips, apartment complexes andsites where ease of expansion is critical.

About Central Control SystemsAn irrigation central control system can be defined as a computer sys-tem that enables the programming, monitoring and operation of an irri-gation system from a central location. Central control systems aredesigned to allow a single site (college campus, corporate headquarters)or set of sites (school district, parks and recreation department) to con-trol all their irrigation from one PC. A central control system can monitorand automatically adapt controller operation and irrigation run times inresponse to conditions in the system and surrounding area (weather,leaks, etc) as well as parameters defined by the system operator.

Ideal when irrigation system demands vary byautomatically adjusting the number of pumps required and individualpump speeds to maintain desired water pressure and flow.

Features• Twice the industry standard warranty at 24 months from start-up

or 30 months from shipping.• VFD technology provides quick return on investment through

energy savings of up to 50% over conventional constant speedpump systems.

• VFD has no moving parts and eliminates the expensive maintenance of a pressure regulating valve.

• VFD pumps last longer by adjusting workload to meet systemrequirements and offer extremely quiet, low vibration operation.

• VFD significantly reduces “water hammer”, which results in lessoverall irrigation system stress, wear and tear and ultimately lowermaintenance costs.

• System delivered as a complete package, fully assembled. Includesstainless steel piping and base, diaphragm tank, shut-off and checkvalves, transducers, gauges and power supply connections.

• Systems fully configured and tested to the customer’s specified operating requirements prior to leaving the factory.

• “Smart” Controller switches the system on/off or regulates the frequency of up to six parallel-connected pumps maintaining constant pressure and optimized efficiencies over a wide flowrange.

• Automatic pump start and cascade control rotation ensure evenlydistributed run-time between all pumps, motors and VFDs.

• Monitoring functions for maximum pressure limits safeguard theirrigation distribution circuit against pipe damage, as well as automatic shutdown and restart under dry run and under voltageconditions.

• Stop Function ensures the pump automatically stops when flowdrops below operator selected value. This feature assures thepump is not subject to overheating and the subsequent risk of shaftseal damage.

• Multi-pump system offers redundancy and back-up capabilities inthe event of a pump failure.

• State-of-the-art hydraulic pump design and laser welding manufacturing techniques provide the industry’s highest vertical multi-stage centrifugal pumping efficiencies of up to 80%.

• Large irrigation areas often require multiple pressure zones. Using a built-in timer program, the BP Series, with optional PMU 2000 controller, can control up to ten different pressure zones.

• Pre-assembled, ready-to-install rebuild kits including pump shaft,impellers, chambers and all associated hardware provide for consistent and timely repairs.

• Corrosion resistant stainless steel construction and TungstenCarbide bearings ensure trouble-free performance, long life and low maintenance costs even under harsh operating conditions.

Landscape Dripline

Primary ApplicationLandscape Dripline is the next generation in pressure compensating,inline emitter tubing delivering unmatched clog-resistance for longterm reliability. It can be used to irrigate ground cover, mixedplantings, slope plantings and hedge rows.

Features•Pressure compensation ensures consistent flow from each inline

emitter throughout the entire length of tubing run.•Choice of flow rates, spacing and coil lengths provides design

flexibility for a variety of non-turfgrass applications.•Rain Bird’s patented ADI emitter (Advanced Drip Inline) pressure

compensates by “lengthening” the emitter’s turbulent flow pathinstead of reducing the cross-sectional area of the emitter’s flow path.The result is unsurpassed clog-resistance over the long term.

•Cylindrical shape of Rain Bird’s ADI emitter “welds” to the innercircumference of the polyethylene tubing, creating a physical barrierthat keeps the emitter cover and silicone wafer securely in place evenwhen tubing is kinked in the field.

•Cylindrical design of Rain Bird’s ADI emitter provides surface area forfiltration throughout 360° of its outer circumference.

•Dual outlet ports on every Rain Bird inline emitter act in combinationas a micro air relief valve.

•Available in UV-resistant brown and purple (to designate non-potablewater zones)

•Accepts Rain Bird Easy Fit Compression Fittings, 16mm barb insertfittings and LOC Fittings

•Custom Spacing Available, contact a Rain Bird sales representative formore details

Primary ApplicationTo ensure optimal performanceof sub-surface installation,* it isimportant to include an air/vacuum relief valve. The valvewill allow air to escape thepipeline, thus preventing waterhammer or blockage. The valvewill also allow air to enter thelines as water evacuates thelines at shutdown. This preventsvacuum suction of dirty waterfrom occurring.

Features•Kit includes 1" air relief valve,

Easy Fit Tee, and Flush Cap.•Use with Rain Bird Landscape

Lake Management Aerators

Single Pattern Lake Management Aerators

Primary ApplicationRain Bird Lake Management Aerators effectively work to maintainan ecological balance in lakes or ponds less than 15' (5 m) deep.The primary reason is that these aerators provide the best verticalcirculation to add dissolved oxygen to the water. This circulationhelps to maintain an ecological balance, which in turn assuressufficient water quality. With the addition of dissolved oxygen thewater and the resulting convection patterns that reducestratification, these surface aeration systems provide a number ofpractical and economic benefits. Lake Management Aeratorsefficiently work to reduce the costly expenses associated with awater source that is ecologically out of balance. This helps to avoidundesirable algae build-up, over growth of weeds, unpleasant odorsand depleted fish population.

These Lake Management solutions include aerators withaesthetically pleasing plumes and are available with 1-5 HP pumps.Basic component features include float, motor housing, supportarms and power control center.

Features•All LM units are factory assembled.•Heavy-duty 304 stainless steel arms support a float filled with US

Controller Power Wire Sizing

117 Volt Primary Wire Sizing Procedure

Procedure

1. Determine current requirements of controller unit, master valve,and station valves from electrical current requirement chart.

2. Determine maximum allowable voltage drop.a. Determine voltage at power sourceb. Determine voltage desired at controller

(limits: 105V minimum and 128V maximum)

3. Calculate equivalent circuit length.

4. Using formula, calculate “F” factor:

Allowable Voltage Drop F =Amps (per unit) x Equiv. Length (in 1000s of feet)

5. Select power wire size from wire size chart (select wire size with an “F” factor equal to or less than the calculated “F” factor).

Controller Power Wire Sizing

Determining Maximum Number of ValvesPer Station of a Controller

Procedure

1. From secondary current requirement chart, determine the maximum secondary current (Amps) allowable for the model controller selected.

2. Determine the secondary current requirement of the controller only and the master valve (if a master valve is being used).

3. Calculate the remaining current available for valve operation:maximum secondary current allowable minus the current for controller master valve.

4. Number of valves per station equals:

Remaining Available Current Current Required for 1 Valve

Example

Determine maximum number of solenoid valves which may be operated per station of an RC-7C controller using a master valve:

1. From secondary current requirement chart, maximum secondary current allowable:

RC-7C = 1.5 Amps

2. Secondary current requirement for controller and master valve:

RC-7C controller only .35Solenoid master valve .23Total .58

3. Remaining current available:

1.5 - .58 = .9 Amps

4. Maximum number of solenoid valves per station:

.92 Amps (available)

.23 Amps/Solenoid = 4.00

Note: Since the resulting value is a maximum, the number of solenoid

valves used per station should always be rounded down to the nearest whole

number.

Secondary Current Requirements for Controllers and Valves Determining maximum number and combinations of valves per station
