BaseStation 3200 Advanced Irrigation Controller Manual
3 – Wiring Guidelines
Review this section to find instructions for wiring your BaseStation 3200 irrigation controller and
for connecting the standard and optional devices.
Conventional Irrigation Wiring Installation
BaseStation 3200R controllers and Baseline 5200R Series Powered biCoders connect directly to
conventional 24 VAC irrigation wiring, with one wire for each valve plus a common wire.
Additionally, these devices are capable of communicating to soil moisture sensors over specific
terminals that are enabled to search for and communicate with Baseline biSensors.
Conventional Wiring Modules
You can equip each 3200R controller with 12, 24, 36, or 48
zones, depending on the cabinet.
One 12 or 24 zone connection module fits in a C-series
cabinet. An X, XS, or P cabinet accommodates two 12 or 24
zone connection modules.
The terminal designations for each 12 or 24 zone
connection module are shown in the diagram on the right,
and include:
• Rain Sensor Port (Normally Closed)
Note: When you connect a rain click device directly
to this port, the device will function globally without
any programming. When the contacts on the device
open, all watering will be set to Done and no
watering will start until the next start time after the
contacts have closed.
• Two-wire Port (Red and Black)
• Valve Common (x2)
• Master Valve/Pump Start terminals (2, designated
VE1 and VE2) – you can re-address these terminals to
control conventional zones if desired
• Sensor-over-valve-wire Ports (x2 for 12 zone, x4 for
24 zone) each with a status LED
• Standard valve wire ports (x10 for 12 zone, x20 for 24
zone)
