Our options for commercial
irrigation include the industry's premium central control system
for multi-site commercial and industrial locations, Maxicom2 by
Rainbird™. Samson Irrigation is one of only a few irrigation
companies in the Kansas City area certified to install and maintain
this system - and has the most experience deploying and managing
this system in the metro area.
- With Maxicom2 an unlimited number of sites
can be controlled and monitored from one location (college campus,
corporate headquarters) or a set of sites (school district,
parks and recreation departments) to control all their irrigation
from one central computer.
- The Maxicom2 Central Control System can
monitor and automatically adapt system operation and irrigation
run times in response to conditions in the system and surrounding
area (weather change, system breaks and leaks, etc.) as well
as parameters defined by the system operator.

Maxicom2
Central Control System
A Maxicom2 system utilizes the Central Controller
installed at a primary location. Information is transmitted from
this Central Controller to a Cluster Control Unit (CCU) or ESP-SITE
Satellite in the field. The CCU acts as the system's computer-in-the-field,
allowing the ability to control hundreds of sites from one Central
Controller. The CCU can monitor, communicate to, and manage as
many as 28 ESP-Satellite controllers or other field devices via
a hardwire or a wireless communications method. |

Features
- Irrigation
systems at multiple sites can be scheduled for days to water,
run times, cyclical scheduling, linking schedules, sensor starts,
cycle and soak schedules, etc.
- Irrigation start days are easily scheduled
to meet complex watering requirements. Start days can be based
on a custom day pattern per a weekly calendar, odd/even/odd31
days, or skip days. Event days off allow designation of non-water
days (mow days, special events, etc).
- Station operating times can be automatically
adjusted in response to changing daily ET (evapotranspiration)
values supplied by a Rain Bird Weather Station or user input.
- Irrigation and weather factors, can be
compared to determine the exact effect weather has on irrigation
needs.
- Cycle+Soak™ feature optimizes the
watering of poor drainage sites, slopes, and heavy soil areas.
Water is applied at or below soil intake rates automatically,
even during high water-use periods.
- Manual operation of system from the central
controller or from the field satellite units.
- Operation of lighting systems (such as
athletic field lighting), security gates, fountains, pumps,
sensors, or other systems can also be managed from one central
Maxicom2 location.
Monitor Features
- Weather sources can be monitored by Maxicom2
calculating daily ET values and automatically adjusting station
run times to replace only the water used.
- Flo-Watch™ monitors hydraulic conditions
in the field, checking for breaks in system piping or valve
malfunctions. In the event of an overflow problem (line break,
etc), the system will automatically identify where the problem
is located, initiate valve or mainline shutdown, and send an
alarm message identifying where the problem occurred and the
action taken to isolate the problem.
- Flo-Manager™ monitors and sequences
valves scheduled to be turned on, so expected demand does not
exceed hydraulic capacity. Flo-Manager facilitates multi-station
operation, which may shorten the total runtime and watering
window.
- Schedules can start, advance, pause, or
cancel according to sensor input (rain, wind, etc) from the
field.
