Two-wire Devices
There are many device types that can be connected in any order along the two-wire system of
the BaseStation 3200 controller. This section will enumerate the key types and provide a short
description of each. More information can be obtained on the Baseline web site
under the Learning Center menu, documentation library.
Air Temperature Sensor
The BL-5303 air temperature sensor provides a historical log of air temperatures and will also
pause watering if the temperature drops below 38 F. It is a standard two wire device and can be
connected anyplace along the two wire path. It should not be mounted in direct sunlight.
Flow Devices
There are several different types of flow devices for measuring water used and managing the
watering based on real-time flow conditions.
Flow biCoders
Standard BL-5404 flow biCoder will connect to a
variety of industry available flow sensing devices
and can be programmed to measure water flow
and use and then communicate those values to
the BaseStation 3200. See the Baseline web site
for specific support details.
Flow+NOMV and Flow+NCMV biCoders
The BL-5404NCMV is a combination flow biCoder
and normally closed master valve. It supports a
variety of industry available flow sensing devices
and can be programmed to measure water flow and use and then communicate those values to
the BaseStation 3200. It can also activate the normally closed master valve at the same location
as the flow device. See the Baseline web site for specific support details.
The BL-5404NOMV is a combination flow biCoder and normally open master valve. It supports a
variety of industry available flow sensing devices and can be programmed to measure water flow
and use and then communicate those values to the BaseStation 3200. When a high flow
shutdown limit is set in the BaseStation 3200 controller, the limit is written to the flow biCoder
and it will monitor the flow rate independently of the
controller. This device can also be powered externally and will
continue to operate when the two-wire is powered down, or
the controller if off or powered down. See the Baseline web
site for specific support details.
PFS Flow Device
The BL-PFS series of flow sensors are available in a variety of
sizes and are standard PVC for easy installation. These flow
sensors are two-wire ready and connect directly to the two-
wire path. They are also pre-programmed with the K-value
