4. Component Setup
Proper installation of all components is key to having a robust system. This section will cover in detail all the
steps needed to properly setup LINK900 wireless communication for your Rain Bird
®
Golf irrigation system.
a) MIM-LINK / TWI-LINK Interface Connection to Central Control
There are two options for connecting the central control interface (MIM-Link or TWI-Link) to the
central control computer: direct serial connection or via a MAXI
®
Remote Location Kit.
1. Direct Connect
For the direct connection when the interface is located near the central computer, just
connect the interface to the computer using the supplied cable.
2. Connection via MAXI
®
Remote Location Kit (MRLK)
When the interface is remotely located away from the central computer, a MAXI
®
Remote Location Kit (p/n HA1000) is required.
b) LINK900 radio for MIM-LINK / TWI-LINK Installation & Programming
To install the LINK900 radio/modem kit (H49001) in the MIM-LINK / TWI-LINK interface, only
two cables need to be connected. A 9-pin serial ribbon cable connects the LINK900 radio and the
Output Board located in the back of the interface. The second cable is the antenna cable (SMA
connector) which must be connected to an external antenna (not included in H49001).
