Each golf course is a complex ecosystem that requires an accurate understanding of turf health to maintain a consistent, playable environment. The Rain Bird® Integrated Sensor System™ (ISS) provides a snapshot of soil conditions, helping you understand what is happening below ground. It is the only system in the industry that offers easy-to-install absolute soil sensing and full integration with the central control system. With Rain Bird, you’ll save time, water, and money while ensuring optimal turf conditions.
The data logger receives soil data from the sensors and sends it through the wireless network to the central control.
