iControl Remote Installation Manual
ICRIM-EN-April 2020
6Installation, connections and commissioning
1. Disconnect the pivot power supply
2. Install the Last Tower Box with iControl Remote just as would be done with a standard last tower box,
with the only differences being those now described (see the electrical diagrams provided)
• For pivots with the Basic Autoreverse panel type:
Connect the PINK wire of the span cable to Terminal 4 at the terminal block of the Last Tower Box. In
step 7, the iControl Remote will be fed at 110V using the connection of the PINK wire to terminal T7 in
the main panel.
• For pivots with the Standard Autoreverse panel type:
a) Connect the YELLOW/RED wire of the span cable to Terminal 4 in the terminal block of the Last
Tower Box. In step 7, the iControl Remote will be fed at 110V using the connection of the YELLOW/
RED wire to terminal T23 in the main panel.
b) Connect the PINK wire of the span cable to Terminal 12 in the terminal block of the Last Tower Box
for the iControl Remote to be able to control a pump/valve. In step 7, the PINK wire will be con-
nected to Terminal T24 of the main panel.
Note: For all the iControl Remote controllers of SAR (Standard AutoReverse) type, it is possible to
control the End gun from the Pivot Panel using the pink line, but in this case the pump/valve control
functionality will be lost. To be able to control the gun / Cannon from the pivot panel, the pink wire
must be connected to Terminal no. 9 (instead of no. 12) in the terminal block of the Last Tower Box.
In step 7, the pink line will be connected to Terminal T3 (instead of Terminal T24) in the main panel.
• For iControl Remote to be able to control the End Gun Solenoid, this must be con
nected to Terminal 11 in the Last Tower Box.
• Connect the light in the last tower to A1 at the motor contactor
3. Install the water pressure sensor kit and connect it to the M12 connector of iControl Remote.
Note: The sensor must be installed vertically above the span pipe to prevent freezing of water inside it
during winter. Make sure the drains and in particular the last tower drain are open before the rst frost hits.
4. (Optional) The iControl Remote controller can control a second End Gun or a fertigation pump. The
installation requires opening the iControl Remote v2 cover and connecting a wire to the OUT20
output to feed at 110V the solenoid of the second End Gun or the fertigation equipment contactor. See
the electrical diagram for more information.
Note 1: It is recommended to check that there is a jumper between the OUT16 and OUT19 terminals of the ICR2.
Note 2: In the case of fertigation control, it will be necessary to install an additional cable over the
spans from the ICR2 to the main panel, passing through a free collector ring.
5. (Optional) The iControl Remote controller can read the temperature of a temperature probe which is
supplied as an option. To do so, the iControl Remote 2 cover must be opened, and the lines of the tem
perature probe must be connected to the IN10 and IN11 inputs of the iControl Remote v2 controller.
6. Set the switch of the Last Tower Box to the ON position.
7. To provide a constant power supply to the iControl Remote controller, it is necessary to make some
small changes in the main panel of the pivot.
