5Definitions
There are two different types of iControl Remote controllers, depending on the pivot panel type. Before
installing iControl Remote, it is important to identify the main panel installed in the center of the pivot and
ensure that the controller selected is compatible with it.
• PIVOT PANEL: BASIC AUTOREVERSE.
Controllers compatible: All BAR (Basic AutoReverse) models
Reference numbers: 90017-WL8B, 90017-WL9B, 90017-3G-B, 90017-4G-B.
The controller is prewired and programmed to change direction using a neutral pulse on the yellow/red wire.
• PIVOT PANEL: STANDARD AUTOREVERSE.
Controllers compatible: Controllers compatible: All SAR (Standard AutoReverse) models
90017-WL8BS 90017-WL9S, 90017-3G-S, 90017-4G-S.
The controller is prewired and programmed to change direction using a 110V pulse on the direction
wires (brown for forward and orange for reverse).
If an ICR2 is installed on an old system or one from another manufacturer, make sure the controller is com-
patible with the main pivot panel as stated in the following instructions:
For all iControl Remote Basic Autoreverse:
• Check whether the machine starts with a 110V pulse (3 seconds) on the return safety wire (yellow wire).
• Check whether the machine stops and remains stopped 5 seconds after opening the return safety
circuit (disconnecting the yellow wire for 5 sec.).
• Check whether the machine changes direction with a neutral pulse on the autoreverse wire (yellow/red).
• Check that the neutral and earth wires are connected together inside the main panel.
For all iControl Remote Standard Autoreverse:
• Check whether the machine starts with a 110V pulse (3 seconds) on the direction wires (brown wire
for forward and orange wire for reverse).
• Check whether the machine changes direction with a 110V pulse (3 seconds) on the direction wires
(brown wire for forward and orange wire for reverse).
• Check whether the machine stops and remains stopped 5 seconds after opening the return safety
circuit (disconnecting the yellow wire for 5 sec.).
• Check that the neutral and earth wires are connected together inside the main panel.
Note: The main panel of the pivot must be equipped with the autoreverse relays and it must be congured
in autoreverse mode to be able to change direction.
Note: In machines from other manufacturers, the colour scheme might be different. It might also be neces-
sary to install additional electronic components for the controller to be able to execute the start, stop and
change direction functions properly.
After checking this functionality, you can install the iControl Remote. Should they not work properly,
contact our technical service for assistance.

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.

7Installation, connections and commissioning
• For pivots with BASIC A/R panel: The PINK wire should be connected to Terminal T7 instead of
Terminal T3. From this moment, iControl Remote will have a supply voltage of 110 VAC.
• For pivots with STANDARD A/R panel:
a) The YELLOW/RED wire must be connected to Terminal T23. From this moment, iControl Remote
will have a supply voltage of 110 VAC.
b) The PINK wire must be connected to Terminal T24 to enable the iControl Remote to control a pump/
valve, as indicated in step 2.
8. Connect the pivot energy supply.
9. Access the web address https://icontrolremote.com . You will be asked to enter a user name and
password: use the last six digits of the iControl Remote serial number. For example, for the serial
number 357042061393945, the default user name is: 393945 and the password is: 393945.
Note: This login is provisional for the installer, and it will be canceled once the controller is assigned
to its owner in the administration platform (iCAP). It is very important that once the installation is com
plete, the equipment should be assigned to its owner in iCAP.
10. An interface similar to that shown on previous pages will appear, which includes a widget for the iCon
trol Remote device that has just been installed.
11. Congratulations! You can now congure this pivot from its control panel and access the iControl
Remote Cloud service remotely https://icontrolremote.com.
12. In the rst place, the correct coordinates of the pivot point must be established. This can be done in
the Setup tab by entering the coordinates directly, or else you can obtain them if using a mobile device
by clicking the Use the GPS location button in your telephone.
13. For further information read the iControl Remote manual or contact the local assistance service. For
security reasons, assigning an owner in iCAP is required as soon as possible to disable the 6-digit
installer username.

8Troubleshooting
If you have problems with the remote control of your pivot, there are certain points you can check before
contacting your local support.
ALL MODELS
Does iControl Remote have a power supply? Recall that you need to make some changes in the wiring
within the panel for electrical power to reach iControl Remote. You can check whether the equipment has a
power supply by looking at the power supply status LED.
- GREEN: supply present
- OFF: no supply.
Is the software of your mobile, tablet or PC up to date? Very old versions could cause problems when ac-
cessing the iControl Remote cloud service.
WIRELESS MODELS: 90017-WL8B, 90017-WL8S, 90017-WL9B, 90017-WL9S
Is there radio coverage throughout the sweep area of the last tower box? Radio coverage in the entire area
covered by iControl Remote 2 Wireless is necessary to be able to link the controller to the Gateway. It is very
important that there should exist a direct line of sight between the iControl Remote and the Gateway.
Note: Exceptionally, an iControl Remote which does not have a direct line of sight with the Gateway can be
installed, although using a second iControl Remote that does have a direct line of sight with the Gateway.
This type of installation can cause slight delays in communications.
¿Can iControl Remote v2 communicate with the cloud service? To check this, you must open the cover
of the tower box (it is not necessary to open the controller lid), and you will see a green LED at the bottom
of the controller (close to the cable outlet).
- Steady: The radio is not linked to any node.
- Flashing (0.5s). The radio is linked to a node.
Can the Gateway communicate with the server? Review the Gateway installation manual.
3G/4G MODELS: 90017-3G-B, 90017-3G-S, 90017-4G-B, 90017-4G-S
Is there 3G/4G coverage throughout the sweep area of the last tower box? 3G/4G coverage in the
entire area covered by iControl Remote is necessary to be able to link to the server at all times.
¿Does iControl Remote have communication with the cloud service? To check this, you must open the
cover of the tower box (it is not necessary to open the controller lid), and you will see a green LED at the
bottom of the controller (close to the cable outlet).
- Steady: There is no connection with the server.
- Flashing (0.5s). There is a connection with the server.
Are you still having problems? Open the controller lid carefully and check the status of the main indica-
tors just as they are described below. It is important that the electronics should not get damp.
You can press the reset button and wait a few minutes to see whether the equipment successfully connects with the server.
Take a photo and send it to your local assistance team, stating the serial number of the unit and describing all the details
you consider of interest. Make sure to mention the behavior of the communications status LED (if it is ashing and how).
