Program Decoder
This screen allows the operator to program any decoder
plugged into the Programmer port of the 2-wire card for
the DXi controller.
1. Connect the desired decoder. The DXi will read the
current address and the type of decoder (station,
flow, or moisture) and display that information.
2. In the New Address field, change the value to
desired address. Push Control Dial to enter.
3. Be sure to mark the decoder with its new address.
A station decoder address is its station number.
A station decoder cannot use the same state address/number as
a conventional station.
Valid station decoder/address range is 1 - 200.
Fixed address ranges are used for MVs / Pumps.
Master Valves 1 - 3 and Pumps 1 - 2 use the following fixed addresses:
MV1 = 201
MV2 = 202
MV3 = 203
Pump 1 = 204
Pump 2 = 205
Moisture decoders are addressed 1 - 16 based on the irrigation program to which
they are assigned to monitor. For example, moisture decoder 2 will monitor irrigation
program 2.
Flow decoders are addressed 1 - 3 based on the flow sensor number. For example,
flow decoder 3 will be assigned to flow meter 3.
For more information on 2-wire decoders, see Appendix D.
