*Standard Configuration for most IC Systems
** LINK communication is not compatible with IC System devices. An ICM must be hardwired to an ICI+
wire path, and cannot be connected through a LINK satellite
Flexible Design
The IC System was designed to be as flexible as possible to accommodate the future needs of a golf course.
While each wire path supports 750 ICMs, if the wire path is expected to be at or near maximum capacity,
installing an additional wire path will create additional capacity for future expansion, such as IC CONNECT
products. When designing with multiple wire paths, it is suggested to balance the load between the wire
paths to ensure there is room for future expansion on each wire path.
Example – Total golf course need is 1,100 ICMs. We would suggest you plan on implementing two primary
wire paths with approximately 550 ICMs on each path. The purpose of this is to leave room for expansion
in the future.
