Stratus LT™
Golf Central Control System
Total Control. In Record Time.
No Experience Required.

Even if you don’t have any experience with computerized irrigation systems, you will be able to take total control of the Stratus LT™ Central Control System from Rain Bird— almost immediately. Using Microsoft® Windows® operating system software, colorful and bold graphics and simplified on-screen instructions, Stratus LT allows you to manage all the irrigation applications—from the greens to the roughs—without having to become a computer expert or spend extensive time learning to operate the system.

Start Without Reading A Manual

Rain Bird was the first in the industry to offer Quick Start™. It guides the first-time user through the initialization and start-up of Stratus LT. Quick Start even helps the user build the first customized program—step by step. So you can quickly get the system up and running without having to read through manuals or attend programming classes. Assign start and finish times to clearly define your watering window. Because each program can have up to 6 start times and each schedule can run up to 12 starts, many different turf growing conditions can be taken into account: germination, clay soil and steep slopes.

Make The Most Of Your Irrigation System

Stratus LT can operate up to 10 programs and 25 schedules at the same time. Satellites or decoders can be assigned to multiple schedules allowing you more flexibility, which optimizes your investment in hardware. Flo-Manager™ prolongs the life of your system and reduces maintenance costs by eliminating hydraulic overload. It also prevents excess demand on the pump station, which could accidentally create low-pressure shutdowns.

Water Budgeting allows you to react to changing conditions with ease. Make specific adjustments to the entire system, a single program or schedule, from 0% to 300%. Course Monitor™ gives you a quick graphical read on all system activities. Station Detail™ offers a complete analysis of all data associated with a hole. The Monitor Log screen gives you real-time feedback of current system activities as well as a recording of all irrigation—past, present and future. Direct Manual Access™ permits activation of any station simply by clicking on that station.

Works With Or Without Satellites

Stratus LT is another Rain Bird Central Control System with the unique ability to operate as a decoder system to provide efficient irrigation without satellite enclosures. If you prefer, Stratus LT can control the powerful LINK or two-wire satellite system of Rain Bird PAR+ES, ESP-MC, PAR, PAR+, MSC and MSC+ products that offer you the option of stand-alone operation.

Meet Regulatory Requirements

Stratus LT makes it easier to comply with increasing regulatory requirements regarding water usage. Its record-keeping function in Print Office™ allows you to track the amount of irrigation that has been applied throughout the course for days, weeks and months at a time. Stratus LT true two-way communication accurately logs station run time for precise data gathering. This data can be moved from one application to another so you can easily use it in reports that are generated in another program.

Designed For The Cost-Conscious

Even with all the benefits Stratus LT offers, it is priced well within the reach of the most cost-conscious golf courses. Rain Bird keeps it affordable over the life of the system by designing products to work with its complete line of controllers. Plus, future upgrades to Stratus™II, Nimbus™II or Cirrus™ can be accomplished easily as needs and expertise grow.

Offers International Applications

In addition to English, the language of Stratus LT can be changed to Spanish, French, German, Italian, Swedish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. It can even use standard metric measurements to regulate hydraulic flow, eliminating the need for time-consuming conversions.

Control Stratus LT From Anywhere On The Course

The Rain Bird FREEDOM™ System adds a greater level of control to your Stratus LT system. This optional, handheld, two-way radio allows you to communicate with Stratus LT to stop, start or continue water application. It will also give you spot water without having to sit down in front of the computer. Add a FREEDOM-Pad™ system and gain more control with visual activation.
