(ISS)
Description, Features and Benefi ts
Rain Bird’s Integrated Sensor System (ISS) is a turf
management and irrigation control system designed for
large sites such as golf courses with diverse landscaped
environs. The ISS has a variety of features to effi
ciently
manage turf conditions and irrigation requirements,
including:
State-of-the-art hardware technology to monitor soil
conditions at numerous locations on site, then collect
and transmit the data to Soil Manager for analysis.
Soil Manager
TM
software analyzes data to determine
optimum watering requirements that match specifi c
target conditions across the site.
Battery powered system components allow ultimate
fl exibility for soil monitoring, data collection and
transmission from any location on the site.
Sensors buried at numerous locations monitor soil
conditions in real-time to provide absolute readings of
soil moisture, temperature and salinity. The following
information is measured at each soil sensor:
Moisture (measured as percentage of Volumetric Water
Content) indicates amount of water present in soil, and
accounts for factors such as soil compaction and type.
Temperature (measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit)
measures the current soil temperature to determine a
variety of conditions such as potential heat stress and
optimum seed germination.
Salinity (measured in deciSiemens per meter (dS/m))
refl ects salt content levels present in the soil. High
concentrations of salt can interfere with a plant’s ability
to absorb water, and may eventually become toxic.
