Two-Wire Serial Numbers
Each Baseline two-wire device has a unique serial number used to identify it. Serial numbers are labeled on all
Baseline devices. For devices such as two or four zone biCoders, each output for the biCoder has a unique serial
number, even if it only has one serial number listed on its label.
Serial Numbers for Four-zone biCoder
Two-Wire Connections and Layout
Baseline uses a proprietary digital protocol to communicate over two-wire. For the complete and up-to-date
two-wire specification, please refer to the Resource Library on the Baseline web site.
Wire Connections
Install all wire connections in compliance with the connector manufacturer’s instructions, and make sure that the
connections are fully waterproof.
Note: Use a 3M™ Direct Bury Splice Kit DBR/Y connector.
WARNING! Do not connect the two-wire and valve common terminals together because this will damage your
BaseStation.
Baseline recommends that you allow 24 to 36 inches of strain relief at each wire connection to make valve box
installation and troubleshooting easier and to prevent thermal expansion from pulling connections apart on long
wire runs.
Wire Lengths
Total wire length supported depends on the gauge of the wire used.
