THE LISTENING DEVICE
The Listening Device connects to the computer and “listens” for the specific rotor data information
unique to each individual site.
The Listening Device connects to an available COM port on the computer via a nine pin connector.
The unit will be pre-programmed by Rain Bird.
The purpose of the Listening Device unit is to “hear” the information unique to the course when a
page is sent by the computer and then received by the rotor. This is done through the
Cirrus/Nimbus II/Stratus II
™
Central Control programs version 3.0.x or higher.
Following are the steps to complete within the Cirrus/NimbusII/StratusII software program(s) to set
up the unit:
1. Open the System Settings Tables.
2. Click in the cell under the wireless rotor symbol. Always use the 2nd row down when setting up
the wireless rotor. See picture on page 18.
