PAR+ES Controller | Rain Bird (2024)

Standalone, two-wire, and LINK.

Works with any Rain Bird Central Control System. Factory-configured to receive commands via cellular phone (MI Series Mobile Controller*) or UHF radio (FREEDOM System).

Large, raised control buttons with clear, descriptive icons and a high‑contrast Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel make programming easy — even for the novice. Lights indicate active schedules and central control status, while copy-paste function speeds the programming process. An angled keypad aids visibility as well as water drainageand makes the PAR+ES controller extremely easy to use.

The PAR+ES controller allows you to program six (6) automatic and two (2) manual schedules. It allows you to turn on a maximum of 16 valves at 60 Hz and 12 valves at 50 Hz and features four (4) control modes — giving you ample programming and operating control.

The PAR+ES is available in 16 to 32- and 56-station base configurations and can be easily upgraded in 8-station increments. By simply plugging in an eight-station Output Station Module (OSM) you can expand your PAR+ES controller capabilities to accommodate 24, 40, 48, 64, or 72 stations.

Perfect for syringing or putting down fertilizer, multi manual allowsthe manuallaunch of as many stations as necessary. Split-second delayed start prevents water hammer and high inrush current.

No schedule limit when operated with Rain Bird Central Control Systems. Six (6) automatic (with 8 start times each) and two (2) manual schedules available for standalone operation.
