<strong>BaseStation</strong> <strong>3200</strong> Advanced Irrigation Controller <strong>Manual</strong><br />
Wiring a Pump Start Relay<br />
1. Power off the two-wire when installing devices. Leave 24 to 36 inches of slack on the two-wire to allow for<br />
easy installation and maintenance.<br />
2. Locate the biCoder near the irrigation pump relay.<br />
3. Connect the red and black wire from the biCoder to the corresponding red and black wires on the two-wire<br />
using 3M Direct Bury Splice Kit DBR/Y connectors. It is critical that polarity be maintained.<br />
4. Connect one gray wire from the biCoder to one wire of the 24 VAC transformer and the other gray wire to one<br />
side of the pump start relay coil using a 3M Direct Bury Splice Kit DBR/Y connector. The pump start relay<br />
must have a 24 VAC coil.<br />
5. Connect the other wire from the transformer to the other side of the pump start relay coil.<br />
Note: You must purchase a 24 VAC transformer separately.<br />
6. Configure the biCoder as a Master Valve/Pump Start and test its operation. Refer to Configuring a Master<br />
Valve/Pump Start biCoder on page 41.<br />
Wiring a Flow Device<br />
Water flow sensors measure the velocity of the water moving past the sensor and turn this velocity into pulses per<br />
minute. The <strong>BaseStation</strong> calculates the flow rate (the pipe size is accounted for in the K-value and Offset), and<br />
provides an approximate water used number.<br />
Water meters measure the amount of water that flows through the meter and turns this into pulses per gallon,<br />
providing an accurate measurement of the amount of water used. The pulses are measured over time intervals<br />
from which an approximate flow rate is calculated.<br />
The <strong>Baseline</strong> BL-5304 Flow biCoder was designed to work with water flow sensors, and flow sensors provide the<br />
most accurate flow readings. You will see the best results with flow devices that generate more than 100 pulses<br />
per minute.<br />
1. Power off the two-wire when installing devices. Leave 24 to 36 inches of slack on the two-wire to allow for<br />
easy installation and maintenance.<br />
2. Locate the flow biCoder next to the flow sensor/water meter.<br />
