BaseStation 3200 Advanced Irrigation Controller Manual Assigning Valve biCoders to Zone Numbers You can assign any valve biCoder serial number to any zone number. You may also wish to reassign and/or reorder certain zones in order to properly combine primary and linked zones in a scheduling group. The 3200 makes these assignments quick and easy to do, but be sure to document any changes that you make. Failure to properly document assignments can cause confusion and frustration for maintenance staff. Zone Numbers are Pre-Assigned in R-Series When you order a conventionally wired BaseStation 3200R controller, it is pre-programmed at the factory so that that terminal 1 is assigned to zone 1, terminal 2 is assigned to zone 2, and so on. You can change these zone numbers to organize scheduling groups, primary, and linked zones to achieve optimal watering behavior. Note: Baseline recommends that you use the Hydrozone Worksheet on page 88 to plan the conversion from your existing irrigation controller to your new BaseStation 3200. To change or re-order zone numbers in an R-series unit, perform the steps in Clearing a Previous Zone Number Assignment on page 38, and then assign each biCoder serial number to the desired zone number. Refer to Assigning biCoders to Zones on page 38. Note: The serial numbers for all terminals in 3200R controllers are shown on the label next to the terminals. The serial numbers for terminals in 5200R biCoders are shown on the door label. Assigning biCoders to Zones After you have wired your valve biCoders to the two-wire and the controller has detected those biCoders, you need to assign the biCoders to the appropriate address (zone number) in the controller. Note: If you are converting an existing irrigation controller to a new BaseStation 3200, Baseline recommends that you use the Hydrozone Worksheet on page 88 to plan the conversion. 1. If you have not searched for the biCoders, do that first. Refer to Searching for biCoders (including Powered biCoders) on page 36. 2. With the dial in the biCoder Menu position and the biCoder List displayed, press the + or – button to select any unassigned biCoder serial number. 3. Press the NEXT or PREV button to select an available zone number. 4. Press the ENTR button to assign the selected biCoder to that zone number. Note: Use this method to assign master valves MV1-MV4. You can assign any single or two-valve biCoder as a master valve. 5. When you have finished making changes, turn the dial to the Auto Run position. Clearing a Previous Zone Number Assignment You can reassign your biCoders to different zone numbers in order to accurately represent your irrigation system and the primary zones and scheduling groups that you want to use. 1. If you have not searched for the biCoders, do that first. Refer to Searching for biCoders (including Powered biCoders) on page 36. Page 38
BaseStation 3200 Advanced Irrigation Controller Manual 2. With the dial in the biCoder Menu position and the biCoder List displayed, press the + or – button until Clear displays in the Assign biCoder field. 3. Press the NEXT or PREV button to highlight the Zone Number that you want to clear. 4. Press the ENTR button. Note: If you cleared a zone number assignment so you can reassign certain zones in order to properly combine primary and linked zones in a scheduling group, return to the Assigning biCoders to Zones procedure (on page 38) to complete the assignments. 5. When you have finished making changes, turn the dial to the Auto Run position. Understanding Zone Statuses Status codes identify the status of the biCoders that have been configured into the system. In the Zone Number list, any zones that are configured as primary zones will have a “P” next to them. Note that the status of each zone is shown in the Zone Number list. The zone status codes are: OK – Working properly OP – Open circuit SC – Short circuit ER – Communication error Adjusting the Valve Power Level for a biCoder If your irrigation system uses solenoids that have different power requirements, you can adjust the valve power level of the biCoders that are attached to the zones associated with these solenoids. Typically, you will perform this task under the guidance of Baseline Support. 1. Turn the dial to the AUX position. 2. Press the NEXT or PREV button to move to the Valves option, and then press the ENTR button. 3. Press the + or – button to select the zone and biCoder that you want to adjust. You can adjust the valve power for any biCoder from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 3. If a biCoder does not support this feature, the word “Fixed” displays in the Valve Drive Power field. 4. When you have finished making changes, turn the dial to the Auto Run position. Page 39
