Total Supported Devices and Limits
The following table lists the total numbers of devices by type that can be connected to a BaseStation 3200. The
BaseStation 3200 can communicate with a maximum of 110 devices (device loads) on the two-wire path within the
layout and length limits outlined later in this section.
Two-Wire Device Type Total Device Loads
Valve biCoders 200 1 per biCoder
5200R series biCoders 20 2 per biCoder
biSensors 25 1
Master Valves/Pump Starts 4 1
Flow Meters 4 3
Pause Devices 7 1
The system supports up to 110 total device loads.
You can configure 200 zones in the 3200 or 3200R controller. Unused ports or serial numbers on biCoders do not
occupy a zone address and do not count towards the 200 zone limit.
