Page 11: Connect Ici+ Ground Wire (Not Included)
Connect ICI+ Ground Wire (Not Included) A #6 (4 mm) gauge ground wire should be installed in a separate conduit between the ICI+ and the ground grid. A conduit no less than 1-½” (40 mm) in diameter shall be installed through the wall to the valve box that contains the first rod in the ground grid. The ground wire may be connected to the ground rod with a four way Cad Weld exothermic weld or acorn nut sharing the ground wires from the FREEDOM antenna, Polyphaser, ground grid, and shielding wire when present. -
Page 12: Connect Field Wiring
Connect Field Wiring Field wires are connected to the Driver Boards using screw terminals located at the bottom of the board. The Integrated Control Interface Plus (ICI+) comes with two ICI+ Driver Boards, for a total of four wire path outputs. Each wire path supports up to 750 ICM equivalent devices. -

Page 14: Radio (Link) Connections
Radio (LINK) Connections On the lower edge of the IFX-Link Printed Circuit Board Assembly (Figure D) is a 9-Pin DSUB connection block (see Figure E). The radio used for communication with the Satellites connects to the DSUB connector and is used for power and communications to the field. -
Page 15: Connect Source Power
Connect Source Power The ICI+ has an internal transformer that reduces supply voltage (120 VAC, 230/240 VAC and 100 VAC) to 24 VAC - to operate the CPU and Driver Board and power the ICMs on each wire path. NOTE: Each ICI+ is specifically configured based upon the power supply requirements where the system will be installed. -
Page 16: Complete Installation
Complete Installation 1. Double-check that: a. The ICI+ is mounted securely to the wall* *The ICI+ must be installed indoors as it is not rated for outdoor use b. Conduit for field wiring (if used) is attached securely c. The power cord easily reaches the power entry module on the bottom of the ICI+ with no strain on the cord or ICI+ d. -
Page 17: Appendix - Grounding Requirements
Appendix - Grounding Requirements To prevent lightning damage to your equipment, Rain Bird recommends installing a grounding system for the equipment (including interfaces, weather stations, and central control systems). The grounding system discharges lightning-induced electrical current into the earth rather than allow the surge to pass through power wires or field wires to your equipment’s electronic components. -
Page 18: Grounding Requirements For The Ic System
Grounding Requirements for the IC System™ Proper grounding is very important for the IC System. Ensure Rain Bird MSP surge devices are installed on each wire path prior to entering the Integrated Control Interface Plus (ICI+) at the central. Important! -

Page 20: Link Radio Antenna, Coaxial Cable And Grounding Installation Steps
On the building that houses the Central Equipment and the ICI+ LINK, or on a suitable antenna tower, mount a Model ANT-02, ANT-03 or a Yagi Type Base Antenna for the ICI+LINK unit. The installation will require the following equipment for a successful installation: ... - Page 21 Step 12: See Figure K Mount the PolyPhaswer Surge Arrestor on the inside wall, near the ICI+LINK unit and near the floor. Use lag screws or other type fasteners, as may be dictated by the type of wall material, for securing the unit to the wall.
- Page 22 Use a ring type lug, on the end of a #6 gauge or larger bare copper wire, connect it to the Ground Terminal on the PolyPhaser Surge Arrestor. Step 15: See Figure H Route the Ground Wire from the PolyPhaser Surge Arrestor through the exterior wall and connect it to one rod of the 3-rod grounding grid, using a brass ground rod clamp.
- Page 23 Step 18: See Figures G, H, K, L Run a #6 Gauge or larger bare copper wire from the grounding lug of the ICI+LINK out and connect it to one rod of the 3-rod grounding grid, using a brass clamp.
