Rain8upb - UBP Sprinkler Controller for 8 to 2000 valves
The Rain8upb is a modular 8-zone sprinkler controller module that can be an integral component of any UPB installation. It is capable of driving standard 24VAC irrigation valves directly.
The master module (shown to the right) is the first 8-zone module in a UPB installation and the only one that connects directly to a PIM and a 24VAC transformer. Additional modules may be daisy chained for those large installations.
Features:
- Turn on or off each zone individually
- Turn off all zones on all modules
- Get the current status of any zone
- Optional default run timer for each zone to prevent over watering
- Optional dry contact input for rain sensor or pulse type flow meter
The Rain8upb requires a UPB PIM to connect to a UPB power line network to function and is not furnished as part of our standard packages.

There is a single RS232 connection between the UPB PIM (PCS PIM-R, Simply Automated UMC-DB9 or HAI 36A00-1) and the initial or Master Rain8.
The 24VAC power and network communications are transferred from master to slave-to-slave etc.
The network connection for the slave units is an 8 conductor RJ45. Each slave has a pair of these modular jacks to pass on data and power to the next one in a daisy chain. Each slave also has a RS232 connection that is used only to assign the address and setup default run timers during the initial configuration.
