Rainbird Sensor Decoder for switch sensors - or use F69200
Product Description
Description
The SENSOR DECODER may be used either as a “SENSOR” Decoder or as a “PULSE” Decoder. The decoder is told by the central system what type of device it is when it makes contact with the system.
When used as a “PULSE” Decoder it is connected to a Pulse Flow Meter and sends the pulse back to the Central Control System computer through the MDI Interface Unit for action then to be taken by the Central System.
When used as a “SENSOR” Decoder it can be connected to any type of sensing device that has a mechanical “DRY” switch action for the threshold setting, either an “OPEN” switch at the threshold or a “CLOSED” switch at the threshold and with NO voltage or frequency being involved. The SENSOR status changes are transmitted through the MAXI Two-Wire communication path and the MDI Interface unit to the Central Control System Computer, where proper system action can take place
Features:
- Cost-Effective Alternative-A simple wiring configuration and absence of protective enclosures keeps installation and maintenance costs low. Rain Bird decoders are a “true lower than 30 volt” system that utilize a two-wire path of 14-gauge wire connecting the central control system, decoders and valves or valve-in-head sprinklers.
- Sensor Capability - If you need information from analog, pulse or switch sensors to manage your irrigation, connect the sensor to the SD-211 sensor decoder and view the data at the central. Using Smart Sensor Software, sensor data can even be used to control the irrigation.
- Protect Against the Elements -With all electronic components fully sealed within a water?tight enclosure and buried underground, damage from floods, frost, rodents or vandals is virtually eliminated. Rain Bird decoders are an especially good choice for flood plains.
- An Out-of-Sight Solution- Buried decoder systems leave nothing exposed to the elements. With no evidence of in-field control, this aesthetically pleasing alternative works perfectly in situations where controller enclosures are unwanted or impractical.
- Excellent for Renovations - Thanks to advanced central control technology and simple wiring requirements, decoders are a smart choice for many golf course renovations. Use Rain Bird’s hybrid control feature to operate controllers and decoders concurrently. This makes it easy to expand irrigation coverage using a minimal amount of wire and decoders.
- In-Field Control Options - The addition of decoders doesn’t mean the elimination of in?field control. Decoders can be turned on and off in the field with The FREEDOM System or MI Series Mobile Controllers.
- The Right Amount of Control - Select different decoders to operate one, two, four or six solenoids. Five different decoders let you choose the amount of control you need.
