Decoders may be reprogrammed at any time. If it is
necessary to change the station numbers or other settings
of a previously programmed decoder, the decoder may be
reconnected to the Programming Port. The old settings
will be displayed at the "Program a Decoder" screen.
Change the settings and press Program to download the
new station numbers or settings into the decoder.
DeCODer PuMP/MASter VAlVeS
Decoders can be assigned as either, or both, of the 2
possible Pump/Master Valve outputs per controller.
• Pump/Master Valve decoders should be ICD-100
single station decoders. If a multi-station decoder is
assigned as a P/M, the other station outputs on that
decoder are no longer available. It is possible to use
the 200, 400, or 600 as a P/M output, but the other
outputs will not function.
• The ACC or AGC controller only supports 2 Pump/
Master Valve outputs, total, regardless of how they
are connected. There are two "hardwired" output
terminals on the controller's Master Module (P/M1
and P/M2). Any combination of the Master Module
terminals and the decoder stations is possible, but
there can never be more than two P/M outputs,
regardless of where they are connected.
To choose whether Pump/Master Valve outputs will be
from the Controller or the Decoder, unlock the Extended
Feature by holding down the Information button on the
facepack, while turning the dial to the Set Pump Operation
position.
Release the button, to see the P/MV Operation screen.
STYLE: "N.C." means Normally Closed, which is the
normal setting for most Master Valves (this works the
same whether a Decoder is selected or not).
It is not recommended to use the n.O. setting if the
pump/master valve will be controller by a decoder.
LOCATION: P/MV 1 and P/MV2 can each be set to either
Controller (meaning the hardwired screw terminal position
on the Master Module), or ADM, if a decoder output
module has been recognized by the facepack.
• The ADM option is only shown if the ADM99 module
has been installed and recognized by the controller.
59
"Controller" means the selected P/MV output will operate
through the screw terminal with that number on the
Master Module, in the controller.
"ADM" means that the selected P/MV will operate through
one of the decoders instead.
• Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to move to the
Location for the P/MV you wish to change.
• Use the + or – buttons to change the Location from
Controller to ADM, for any Pump/Master Valve you
want to reassign.
The ADM location will not work until a Decoder has been
programmed for Pump operation (P/M1 or P/M2) in
Decoder Programming.
The decoder programming for a pump or master valve
is similar to programming a station decoder. Insert the
red and blue wires into the programming port, turn the
dial to Advanced Features and arrow down to Decoder
Functions. Press the + button. While "Program a Decoder"
is highlighted, press the + button. The display will then
show current settings for the decoder.
- With the Decoder type highlighted, press + or – to
change the Type from 1-Station to "PUMP."
- The heading for the station number will change to P/
MV. Select either 1 or 2 for the P/MV output. Do not allow
more than one decoder in a system to have the same pump
number!
- Press the Program button to send the PMV address to
the decoder.
This decoder will become the designated P/MV output for
the controller.
ICD-Sen SenSOr DeCODer SetuP
The ICD-SEN sensor decoders accept input from sensors,
and report them to the controller via the two-wire path.
Each sensor decoder has two input "ports" (A and B)
consisting of a looped wire.
To use a port, cut the wire and attach the sensor leads
according to detailed instructions with the ICD-SEN.
Do not cut the wire on ports that will not be used.
