It is recommended that all Normally Closedsensing devices be connected to the appropriate terminal on thecontroller, or to a Pause biCoder connected to the two-wire path.Wireless Rain SensorsAnother popular accessory is a wireless rain sensor. Wireless sensors are different than standardrain sensors because they require external power, typically 24VAC.Different wireless rain sensors have different receiver wiring requirements. Consult the usermanual with your wireless rain sensor forConventional Irrigation Wiring InstallationBaseStation 3200R controllers and Baseline 5200R series powered biCoders connect directly toconventional 24V AC irrigation wiring, with one wire for each valve plus a common wire.Additionally, these devices are capable of communicating to soil moisture sensors over specificterminals that are enabled to search for and communicate with Baseline biSensors.Conventional Wiring ModulesEach 3200R controller can be equipped with 12, 24, 36, or 48zones, depending on the cabinet.One 12 or 24 zone connection module will fit in a C-seriescabinet, and two 12 or 24 zone connection modules can beequipped in an X, XS or P cabinet.The terminal designations for each 12 or 24 zone connectionmodule are shown in the diagram on the left, and include: Rain Sensor Port (Normally Closed) Two-wire Port (Red & Black) Valve Common (x2) Master Valve/Pump Start terminals (2, designated VE1and VE2) – these may also be re-addressed to controlconventional zones if desired. Sensor-over-valve-wire Ports (x2 for 12 zone, x4 for 24zone) each with a status LED. Standard valve wire ports (x10 for 12 zone, x20 for 24zone).Only two zones of any 12 zone block of terminals can beactivated concurrently, plus VE1 and VE2, resulting in a totalconcurrency of 6 zones for a 24 zone unit.Baseline biSensors can be connected directly to valve wires onthe Sensor-over-valve-wire ports (A1, A2 and B1, B2).Wiring examples are shown in the section below.Rain SensorTwo-wire: Black/RedValve COMMONVE----1 & VE----2Read biSensorsbiSensor ConnectionbiSensor ConnectionbiSensor ConnectionbiSensor ConnectionPage 18Baseline 3200
