mary communication connection (Cellu-
lar, Ethernet, etc.) to be shared with up to 
255 Client Satellites via Radio and/or Con-
nection Module (CM) PE-Cable secondary 
communication. 

a.  Utilizes lower cost IQNCCRS RS-232 

Cartridges for Client Satellites.

b.  Reduces yearly reoccurring  com-

munication costs for systems using 
Cellular communication.

c.  Provides Normally Closed Master 

Valve or Pump Start sharing be-
tween Server and Client Satellites.

d.  Provides Weather Sensor (not Flow 

Sensor) sharing between Server
