The mainline assignments are made in the
Mainline Configure menu of the Flow Menu dial
position. Highlight the menu item and press ENTR
to show a screen like the one to the right.
Assignments are made from the item or device to
the mainline. This means that flow device #1 is
assigned to a mainline, in this case to mainline 1.
If the pipe topology was different, then it should
be assigned to the physical mainline.
Most sites only have one mainline, which is the
default assignment for all items and devices. To
change an assignment, use the NEXT/PREV keys to highlight the desired change and use the + or
– keys to make the new mainline assignment. In this example, two mainlines are used, each with
one flow device, one master valve, and two programs (assuming only the first four programs are
used).
Pause biCoders
Pause biCoders provide a means to pause watering on a program basis through a switch or set of
electrical contacts. When the contacts open, programs can be paused for a preset amount of
time. Each pause bicoder may be programmed for a different delay time and to a different set of
programs.
The controller can configure and use up to four
pause biCoders. Pause biCoders are numbered
from one to four, and are automatically assigned
a number when they are found during a search
operation. To program the pause biCoders, turn
the dial to the AUX position and highlight the
Temp/Pause menu item. Press ENTR to display
the programming screen, like the one to the
right.
The Pause Delay Time may be set in hour
increments between zero and 24 hours. When
the pause biCoder detects that its pause
contacts have been opened (closed = don’t pause), the specified programs will move to paused
state and all water will be suspended. When the pause bicoder detects that the contacts have
been closed again, a delay timer will start for the specified delay time. If the delay time is zero,
then watering will resume without a delay. If the delay time is one hour, then watering will be
delayed for an hour. The delay timer start when the contacts close, not when the contacts open.
To change the programs that are controlled by the pause bicoder, use the NEXT/PREV keys to
highlight the program and then use + or – to change between yes (Y) and no (-).

To remove a two-wire device, you must physically diconnect it from the
two-wire and then perform a Search operation from the device specific
menu. This means a biSensor can only be removed by doing a search from
the biSensor menu, etc..

The pause bicoder can be set to off by highlighting the delay time and then
pressing the CLR key.
