1. Introduction
The BIC 1000 DC is a user friendly, professional time based irrigation controller. The system can manage irrigation, fertilization,
filter station back flushing and the activation of a pump, all in a simple and straightforward manner.
The system includes 4 irrigation programs that may contain any number of valves and groups of valves that will be irrigated
sequentially. Each valve or group may have its own run time and fertilization program. Each program may have 6 start times or
irrigate in a cycle for any number of cycles. The programs may run in parallel without disturbing each other.
The fertilization can be carried out in three stages, including pre-watering, injection, and post-watering. The mode of fertilizers
injection can be proportional or continuous.
The user may change the defined run times per program by percentage. For eliminating irrigation during rainy days, a rain delay
can be defined.
The modular structure of the system enables expansion of the number of outputs from 16 to 32.
The available outputs can be allocated to the desired number of irrigation valves, up to 3 fertilizer injectors, 1 pump/main-valve
and to the required number of filters.
There are 4 digital inputs to which the user may connect a water meter for display of the flow, a pressure switch to protect the
system from excess pressure, a differential pressure sensor for triggering filter back flush cycle and a start contact that may
activate program #4 and halt the regular programs when needed.
The user friendly control panel consists of rotary selector push buttons LCD display and LED indicators.

4.2 Water and Fertilizers run time
Define which the participating valves and the water and fertilizer run time.
• Refer to paragraph 5.1 for valves groups
• Time units are set per program and can be changed in the Configuration menu
• Valves and groups operates in sequence, starting with the smallest valve number 1 -> 2 -> 4 etc …), the same rule apply
to groups. In case of a mixed program (valves and groups) the Valves will operate first, in a sequential order, and then the
groups.
• Note: The total irrigation time should be shorter then the time between starts! Otherwise if a program is still irrigating when
the next start time is reached, the start will be ignored! The overall irrigation time can be viewed in the program status
screens that display for each part of the program the start and end times.
Click “Water Run Times” button - The green LED illuminates
Click “Fertilizer Run Times” button - The green LED illuminates
The fertilization method, continuous or proportional sec./min., Can be changed in the configuration mode. Contact your dealer or
installer for changes.

5.6 Program Status
Click “Program Status” button - The green LED illuminates
Only one of the below screens can appear at a given time, depends
on the current status of the program
The BIC1000 allows the user to review the status of the selected program including the irrigation stage, the currently irrigating
valve/group with the left run time, the list of participating valves, total water planned, total fertilization planned (for each fertilizer
type) and a review of the start and ending times per each start time. All the screens are display only and are meant to give the
user a summery of each program.
The program is missing Water Run Times definition.
The program is missing start times or irrigation days definition. The
program can be activated manually.
The program is planned to irrigate later today and there are irriga-
tion days, start times and water run times set.
The irrigation days, start times and water run times set for this pro-
gram, the next irrigation day is in 2 days.
The program is currently paused until the displayed time
The program is currently running this screen shows the active
valve/group, the current stage of the program including irrigation,
fertilization, and back flush.

ing in the program, when there are several start times defined, the
number of starts will appear as a multiplier to the total run time.
Total fertilizer run time, per start for the displayed program multi-
plied by the number of starts defined. There is a separate screen
for each fertilizer.

number being edited and the cursor will start flashing.
2. Scroll using the blue arrow keys to reach the desired valve
number.
3. Use any one of the 4 “VALUES SETTING” keys to change

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all the valves are at the desired
status.
5. Click Enter to confirm.
6. Click Esc to go to the main Grouping Valve screen
7. To set or edit the next group scroll using the blue arrow keys,
select the next group for edit and repeat steps 1- 6.
6. System Operations
6.1 Groups
Group definition is one of the BIC1000 biggest advantages. The user can group several valves to work simultaneously at any
program.
This feature eliminates the need to set the valves in separate programs to allow simultaneous operation of valves.
If opening / closing of multiple valves at the same time can cause “water hammer” or overload the pump, refer to “special
features”, appendix b to set gradually open and close or overlap of the valves in the group.
After a group is defined, it is treated by the irrigation programs as a valve. The group is set with one water run time and one
fertilization run time, the only difference is that all the valves of the specific group will open and close simultaneously.
To set groups of valves that will open simultaneously, turn the rotary
switch to the Grouping Valves position

Setting Water Before and Water After times:
1. Scroll using the flipping keys to choose between Water Before
and Water After screens
2. Click Enter to select.
Setting Water Before:
1. Click Enter to edit. The water before numbers will start flashing.
2. Use the 4 “VALUES SETTING” keys to select the desired water
before time.
3. Click Enter to confirm.
4. Scroll using the flipping keys to the next valve or group as
needed and repeat steps 1-3 until all the valves/groups have
been set with water before time.
5. Press the Esc key in order to return to the previous screen
(water before or water after), Scroll to the Water After and
repeat steps 1-4.
The water before and water after values are per valve/group,
these values will take affect regardless of which program the
valve is participating.
6.2 Water Before/After
The water before/after is another professional irrigation feature offered by the BIC1000 for the benefit of efficient fertilization.
There is no need to calculate when to start the fertilization process and when it will be finished. The user simply defines 2 periods
of time per valve or group – water before and water after. This will ensure that the fertilization starts when the irritated block is
ready and stops before the end of the irrigation cycle to allow proper flushing of the irrigation system.
Turn the rotary switch to the Water Before After position

or by pressure differential measured by a DP (differential pressure) switch. Regardless of what triggered the flush cycle, the coun-
ter of the “Flush by Time” will be reset.
The BIC1000 can use a standard digital PD gauge such as Murphy or an Analog gauge supplied by Bermad.
If an Analog DP switch is installed, the DP definitions and delay are set in System Configuration screen – for further informa-
tion refer to “Installer Manual”.

6.5 I/O State/ Test
The BIC 1000 allows the user to review the state of all the outputs, manually open/close each one of them and to perform a test
cycle.
In each screen there are 12 outputs displayed, the number of screens of I/O state depends on the total outputs available in the
system.
• A valve left open manually will remain open until midnight.
• The limitation of the number of outputs starting at the same time is determined by the maximum power draw available and
the hydraulic limitations of the irrigation system. Consult your authorized dealer/installer about the maximum number of out-
puts allowed to be open simultaneously.
