Description
BaseLine Direct Burial Bicoder 2 Valve
Baseline’s biCoders work with Baseline’s biLine two-wire technology to create the only true bi-directional two-wire devices in the industry. Baseline’s biCoders not only receive commands from the controller, they also send real-time information back to the controller. Plus, Baseline’s biCoders have built-in diagnostic LED lights that tell you at a glance whether the device is working. This smart technology also enables you to assign any biCoder to a zone or function from the controller after the biCoder has been installed in the field. With a multi-station biCoder, you can assign any sta??on to any zone, in any order.
Multi-station bi-coders have color coded wires for each station
All bi-coders are fully sealed, submersion-proof, and approved for direct bury
Run up to two typical solenoids up to 150 ft away from valve decoder using standard 14 ga irrigation wire per station wire (excluding BL-5201)
Shock resistant
All bi-coders have built-in LEDs that blink during communications on the two-wire side and remain lit when power is supplied to the valve
Manufactured with 24 inch of 16 ga PVC jacketed solid core wire to connect to the two-wire and 24 inch of 18 ga PVC jacketed stranded core wire to connect to the valve wire
Freeze/heat resistant -4 to 140 degrees F
Automatically shut down any attached solenoids if communication is lost with the controller
Built-in surge protection
Includes a built-in amperage meter that accurately measures and diagnoses valve solenoid electrical problems such as: “no current,” “station short,” or “over current”
Pause bicoders are able to interface and read any normally closed switch pause device (including rain, wind, pressure, tank floats, and temperature)
