Packaged Systems

Rain Bird®, the leader in irrigation central control products, introduces its Packaged Systems for your central control hardware needs. These systems are simple to specify, easy to install, and designed to keep your central control components safe from weather elements, vandalism, pests, and other environmental hazards. The enclosures are available in pedestal and wall-mount versions, customized for your specific application.

The systems come pre-assembled, tested and ready to install. Each unit is powered at the factory and undergoes a complete test to verify that all communications channels are functioning. The installing contractor need only mount the enclosure and bring power and field wiring to factory-labeled connection points.
Packaged Systems are specified and ordered through Rain Bird Services Corporation, a subsidiary of Rain Bird Corporation.
