C h a p t e r 1 – G e t t i n g S t a r t e dSearching for and Assigning DevicesBefore any biCoders or biSensors can be programmed in the controller, the controller must findthat device and assign it as appropriate. There are different types of biCoders and other twowiredevices that can be connected directly to the 3200 two wire path, including:Valve biCoders (decoders)biSensors (soil moisture sensors)Pause biCodersAir Temperature SensorFlow Meters & Flow SensorsPause ButtonThe 3200 is capable of searching for all devices connected to the two-wire path, and reportingthese devices back to the controller. However, before they can be used, they must be “assigned”to an appropriate use.Searches for different types of biCoders are accomplished in different dial positions as outlined inthe sections below.Zone Numbers vs. Serial NumbersThe BaseStation 3200 controller can be attached to valves, master valves and pump start deviceseither with a screw terminal (for “R” series conventionally wired systems and 5200R seriespowered biCoders) or via an output wire on a two-wire biCoder.In the 3200, any valve biCoder serial number can be mapped or assigned to any zone number. BaseStation 3200R conventionally wired controllers are pre-programmedat the factory such that zones 1 up to 48 (depending on the specificconfiguration purchased) will already be assigned to terminals 1 to 48 tomake installation quick and easy.For field biCoders, or for 5200R series wall mount biCoders, you must search for and then assigneach serial number you wish to use to a zone number or master valve.You may also wish to reassign and/or reorder certain zones in order to properly combine Primaryand Linked zones in a Scheduling Group.The 3200 makes these assignments quick and easy to do, but care should be taken to documentchanges made to the system. Failure to properly document assignments can cause confusionand frustration for maintenance staff.Assigning Valve biCoders to Zone NumbersThe 3200 controller is capable of mapping any valve biCoder serial number to any zone Number. Any valve terminal (in R-series controllers or 5200R biCoders) and anyoutput on any field biCoder can be assigned to any unique zone address.Care should be taken to document addressing changes, since it can beconfusing for maintenance personnel when terminal #1, for example, isassigned to a different zone number.Page 30Baseline 3200
C h a p t e r 1 – G e t t i n g S t a r t e dStep 1: Search for biCodersValve biCoder assignment is accomplished inthe biCoder Menu dial position.Turn the dial to the biCoder Menu, then pressENTR to Search for biCoders.Like all menus on the 3200, you can look atthe on-screen help for instructions.The Search may take several minutes to complete. Youwill see a status screen like the one shown here whilethe search is in progress.Press CLR to cancel a search in progress.Step 2: Assign biCoder(s) to ZonesUse the +/- keys to select any unassignedbiCoder serial number.Use the NEXT/PREV keys to select anavailable Zone Number.Press ENTR to Assign the selected biCoder tothat Zone Number.Master Valves MV1-MV4 are assigned thissame way, and can be assigned to any singleor two valve biCoder.CLEAR Function – clear a previous zonenumber assignment.To clear a biCoder serial number previouslyassigned to a Zone Number, use NEXT/PREVto highlight that Zone Number, then use the+/- keys to select “Clear”, then press ENTR.In the Zone Number list, Zones that havebeen set to be Primary Zones will have a “P”next to them.Page 31Baseline 3200
