LIT-060 Hunter 2004-2005 Product Catalog - Ewing Irrigation

IDS Decoder ControllerTwo-wire decoder control in an advanced industrialpackage for the largest installations.Decoders can make a large system more affordable and efficient to install,since these small control units receive both power and signals over the samepair of wires. With the IDS, you can control and adjust irrigation in thefield, operating up to 103 decoder stations (plus a pump/master valve) from thecontroller over that single pair of wires…although you may run up to five wirepaths in different directions to further reduce installation costs. Up to 64 programsare stored in the controller’s non-volatile memory, allowing the IDS to watermassive irrigation schedules. With such a high capacity controller, your completesystem will require fewer controllers to operate all of your sprinklers, withoutgiving up the local access (in view of your plants) that field controllers provide.Plus, the two-wire decoder path also makes retrofitting new stations after the initialinstallation a snap – just snip the wires, and splice in another decoder.The special wire Hunter uses with the IDSmakes it easy to expand the system as theneeds of even the largest projects grow.FEATURES & BENEFITSTwo-wire, color-coded decoder connectionsEasy installation and troubleshootingMore active solenoids per controller, simultaneouslyUp to 20 active stations allows greater fl exibility in programmingWaterproof, epoxy-fi lled, solid state componentsHigh reliability and survivability, fi eld-proven in the harshest environments(when mounted in valve boxes and grounded as specifi ed)Custom lightning and surge protectionUnique in-line and end-of-line surge protectors install easily and protectyour investmentBuilt-in thermal circuit breakerAutomatically protects against overload, self-resets when trouble is pastFour-station decoders for maximum savingsFour separate color-coded outputs for each independently controlledstation, in a single deviceEasy system expansionAllows your system to grow with your irrigation needsNo additional wiring needed as your system growsJust add decoders to existing two-wire path76
