BCS Specifications:
Irrigation
Controller (Lithium battery-operated)
The controller shall
be a solid state irrigation controller powered lithium batteries.
The vandal and water resistant controller is enclosed in a powder
coated, commercial grade metal enclosure. A stainless steel
enclosure or pedestal is also available to house said controller.
The panel has an easy to read display rated for high temperatures
up to 158 degrees Fahrenheit. The controller shall operate in
an outdoor setting (in extreme heat or cold) and power latching
solenoid actuators. The BCS can operate valves up to five miles
with 14 gauge irrigation wire. If the SSPED Stainless Steel
Pedestal is specified then the galvanized pipe is not applicable.
