SOS STATUS OUTPUT STATION
An SOS is a dedicated station output that is only used with
Conditional Response. The purpose of the SOS is to trigger
an external light or other device when the controller is in an
alarmed state, so that eld personnel can be notied of an
alarm without having to open the controller door.
An SOS requires a dedicated station number to operate
(any station number may be used). The station will turn on
whenever the Conditional Response condition is in eect.
The station output may be used to directly power a 24VAC
signal lamp installed in a conduit hole, or used to activate a
relay for other purposes.
SETUP AN SOS STATION
In the Conditional Response screen, use the “Then” so key to
select a “Start SOS Output” Type.
At Selection, select the unused station you want to designate
as the SOS station.
• This station must not be included in any irrigation
programs.
• Only one SOS station should be used per controller.
• All other SOS responses should be selected to the same
SOS station number.
The SOS station output will be wired directly to the external
light or other 24V powered device.
Conditional Response
Conditional Responses allow a sensor or condition to trigger
something to happen. This can be as simple as telling a station
to start when a sensor is opened, to much more complex
operations such as switching water supplies to a Flow Zone
based on a sensor position.
Conditional Responses are written in the form of a statement,
which reads “if THIS happens, then do THAT.”
The controller may have up to 35 Conditional Response
statements. Some responses may require more than one
statement to achieve certain results (such as switching P/
MVs).
