The FREEDOM System
Wireless Remote Control

The FREEDOM™ System puts the power of central control in the palm of your hand. The FREEDOM handheld provides reliable, two-way communication with your Rain Bird system. Use it to choose from command based or schedule-based operations, making irrigation adjustments a snap. Either way, The FREEDOM™ System puts you in control of your irrigation management system wherever you are.

Versatile Operation

The FREEDOM System provides direct access to your central control system. It can access command-based functions like:

  • Turn On
  • Turn Off
  • Advance
  • Pause
  • Resume
  • Customized schedule-based functions

You have control, from individual stations up to the total system, from any location on the golf course. You can also program the FREEDOM handheld to provide access to other radios used on your course.

Superior Control

Rain Bird central control systems are the standard for golf course irrigation management. With your system’s schedule-based capabilities, you will never be without control from the field. The patented Flo-Manager® logic balances system hydraulics, and the Cycle + Soak™ feature monitors station run times to eliminate runoff. The FREEDOM System gives you access to these features, as well as the system’s unmatched activity logging to deliver true system performance reporting. Rain Bird software verifies all transmissions received from The FREEDOM System, bringing together reliable two-way communication and easy operation.
