Pause Devices
Wiring a Pause Button
The pause button provides a convenient way to stop watering. You can install this button in any location where
easy access to the two-wire can be used for a connection. You can install up to three pause devices on a single
BaseStation 3200 or 3200R system to allow convenient access from multiple locations around large sites.
Installation Instructions
1. Mount the pause button box to a vertical wall using four
screws and suitable wall anchors.
2. The weatherproof box accepts ½ inch, non-metallic
electrical conduit. Conduit should be installed to protect
the wires from the two-wire connection to the button box.
Keep in mind direct burial wire is generally not UV
protected and needs to be shielded from the sun.
3. Extend the two-wire to the pause button box using a small
valve box and 3M™ Direct Bury Splice Kit DBR/Y
connectors.
4. Attach the two-wire coming from the valve box to the
pause button inside a junction box attached to the button
box using waterproof connections
5. Power off the two-wire when installing devices. Leave 24 to
36 inches of slack on the two-wire to allow for easy
installation and maintenance.
6. Mount the pause button to a vertical surface with four screws and suitable wall anchors.
7. Connect the red and black wire from the biCoder to the corresponding red and black wires on the two-wire,
making sure that you maintain polarity.
Wiring a Pause biCoder
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 pre-set amount of time. You can program each
pause biCoder for a different delay time and to a different set of programs.
Installation Instructions
1. Power off the two-wire when installing
devices. Leave 24 to 36 inches of slack
on the two-wire to allow for easy
installation and maintenance.
2. Locate the biCoder near the normally
closed pause switch.
3. Connect the red and black wire from
the biCoder to the corresponding red
and black wires on the two-wire,
making sure that you maintain polarity.
4. Connect the gray wire from the biCoder
to one wire of the pause switch, and the black wire to the other side of the pause switch.
