Description
Can be used on your smart phone, internet-connected tablet, or internet connected PC.
The IQ4614E module fits into the of your Rain Bird ESP-LXME, ESP-LXD, OR ESP-LX IVM irrigation controllers.
The cellular (RB-IQ4614E) is the most commonly used because it allows the irrigation controller to be remotely installed (for example in the pump shed). This is because it has its own data SIM card which must be renewed each year.
The iQ4 communication cartridge allows you to use your smart phone to control the irrigation system anywhere that you have mobile reception. This can be in the middle of your golf course or football pitch, or at home, or while on the beach in Spain. The system operates with Rain Bird ESP LX wall-mount controllers, including the ESP LXME (multi-cable controller), ESP LXD (decoder controller) and ESP LX-IVM (IV module system controller).
The iQ4 communication cartridge simply plugs into the door of the wall-mounted irrigation controller and then communicates to the outside world via a SIM card or via LAN. Once an IQ cartridge is installed, there is often no reason to go to the actual wall-mounted controller again, except to change the 9-volt battery once a year because everything else can be done from your office computer (connected to the internet) and smart phone.
