Rain Bird PSR220IC 220V Universal Pump Start Relay

Rain Bird PSR220IC 220V Universal Pump Start Relay

Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: PSR220IC

Product Overview

Switch a compatible 220-volt single-phase irrigation pump from a supported 24 VAC controller or decoder output with Rain Bird PSR220IC. The Universal PSR arrangement includes an additional ice-cube relay for supported two-wire applications. Its model-specific range is 3/4 through 5 HP at the specified higher line voltage; it is not the 110-volt PSR110IC.

Key Features

• 220-volt single-phase pump line arrangement.
• 24 VAC control connection.
• Additional ice-cube relay for supported two-wire control applications.
• NEMA 3R steel enclosure with grounding provision.

Common Uses

• Starting a correctly matched irrigation pump from a compatible control system.
• Replacing a matching Universal PSR after checking line voltage and controller or decoder output.

Technical Specifications

• Model: PSR220IC; factory part: PS310002.
• Motor line voltage: 220 VAC nominal, single phase.
• Controller/interface control connection: 24 VAC.
• Model-specific motor range: 3/4 through 5 HP, with the required motor thermal protection.
• Additional ice-cube relay for supported two-wire controller/decoder applications.
• Frequency: 60 Hz.
• Enclosure: NEMA 3R, gray powder-coated steel.
• Grounding provision and quick-connect terminals.
• Pump, controller/decoder, branch-circuit and motor-protection equipment are separate.

Dimensions

• Width: 6 inches.
• Height: 6 inches.
• Depth: 4 inches.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

Choose the 220-volt model for a matching motor supply and check the motor nameplate. Do not use a different voltage column from the shared relay-component table as permission to change the model’s specified line configuration.

Confirm that the controller or decoder provides the required 24 VAC control arrangement. The ice-cube relay does not make the unit compatible with every decoder or a different control-voltage type.

Have a qualified installer follow the supplied relay and motor wiring diagrams with all power disconnected. Keep the factory internal wiring intact and complete the specified grounding connection.

Provide appropriate motor thermal-overload and circuit protection. Starting the pump on command is different from protecting it against every overload or operating fault.

The published Universal PSR installation guide applies to units built from January 2002 onward. Use the unit’s supplied diagram and obtain manufacturer guidance for an older installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 24 VAC the pump supply voltage?

No. It is the controller/interface control connection. PSR220IC is selected for a 220-volt motor line arrangement.

What motor size is listed for PSR220IC?

The manufacturer’s model table lists 3/4 through 5 HP for PSR220IC, subject to the specified supply and required motor thermal protection.

Why does it have an ice-cube relay?

Rain Bird includes the additional relay for supported two-wire controller/decoder applications. Verify the exact controller output before installation.

Does the relay replace motor overload protection?

No. Provide the motor and circuit protection required for the actual installation; the pump-start function alone does not provide complete pump protection.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose PSR220IC when the pump uses the 220-volt line arrangement and needs the Universal PSR ice-cube relay interface. The model-specific 5 HP maximum and separate 24 VAC control connection define that choice; they do not turn it into a universal supply-voltage relay. Confirm the motor voltage and the controller or decoder output before selecting it instead of PSR110IC or the standard dual-pole model.
