Assigning Soil Moisture Sensors (biSensors) to Primary Zones
When you have biSensors connected to your irrigation system, you need to assign each sensor to the zone where it
is located. This zone then becomes a primary zone.
1. If you have not searched for the biSensors, do that first. Refer to Searching for biSensors on page 37.
2. With the dial in the biSensor Menu position and the biSensor List
displayed, press the + or – button to select any unassigned biSensor
serial number.
3. Press the NEXT or PREV button to select the zone, and then press the
ENTR button.
4. Repeat for each primary zone with a biSensor.
Note: When a soil moisture biSensor is assigned, it is initially set for
the Lower Limit water strategy.
To configure your biSensors for watering, refer to Setting Up Soil
Moisture Sensor Based Watering on page 51.
Configuring Pause Devices
You can configure and use up to seven pause devices with the BaseStation 3200. Pause devices are automatically
assigned a number from one to seven when they are found during a search operation.
1. If you have not searched for the pause biCoders, do that first. Refer to Searching for Pause biCoders and
Temperature Sensors on page 37.
2. Turn the dial to the AUX position.
3. Press the NEXT button to move to Temp/Pause, and then press the
ENTR button.
4. If you have multiple pause biCoders attached to your controller, make
sure that the one you want to configure is displayed in the field in the
top left of the screen. If you need to select a different pause biCoder,
press the + or – button until the pause biCoder that you want to
configure is displayed in the field.
5. Press the NEXT button to move to the Pause Delay Time field.
6. Press the + or – button to change the time.
You can set the Pause Delay Time in hour increments between zero and 24 hours. When the pause biCoder
detects that its contacts have been opened, the specified programs will pause and suspend all watering. The
controller waits for the specified pause delay time, and then it checks the pause biCoder again. If the contacts
are still open, it waits again for the pause delay time, but if the contacts are closed, the paused programs will
resume watering.
7. Press the NEXT button to move to the list of programs, and then press the NEXT or PREV button to select the
program that you want change.
