Program Decoder will enter the station addresses and other settings of the decoder. Move the pointer with the arrow buttons at the Main Menu screen to PROGRAM A DECODER Program Decoder and press Next . ---------------------- Dec Type: 6-Station The ICD‐HP will check for a decoder. If successful, it will display the Type, Pwr Factor: Power Factor, and Inrush information for the decoder after a few seconds. Inrush: Type: Press the + and – buttons to change the decoder type. It is possible to change a station decoder to Pump, to assign it to one of the P/MV Press To Continue (Pump/Master Valve) outputs for the controller. It is best to use a single‐ station decoder for a P/MV output. If a multi‐station decoder is set to Type -PROGRAM A DECODER-- Pump, the other outputs can no longer be used, and will be wasted. Output 1: Sta-027 Output 2: Sta-000 If the Type shown is “Sensor”, the ICD‐HP is reading a Sensor Decoder and the Output 3: Sta-000 Type cannot be changed. Output 4: Sta-000 Output 5: Sta-000...

Inrush: This can change the inrush timing for the station or relay when first turning on. Default setting is 3, and this rarely needs to be changed. Consult Hunter Technical Support before changing the Inrush value. Press Next to continue. Assign Station Numbers: The next screen will show the station number assigned to each decoder output. The number of outputs is based on the decoder’s size. A single station decoder (ICD‐100) will only show one output. A two‐station decoder (ICD‐200) will show two output lines, etc. Use the up and down arrows to move the pointer to each output. Use the number keys to type the controller station number you wish to assign to each output. Or, use the + and – keys to raise and lower the station numbers. -PROGRAM A DECODER-- Output 1: Sta-001 If you have already assigned a station number to an output, using the + and – Output 2: Sta-002 buttons to change another output will skip over any station number that has Duplicate Sta-003 already been assigned. Duplicate Sta-003 Example: Output 1 is assigned Sta‐007. When setting Output 2, using the +/‐ Press To Program buttons will skip 007 and move directly from 006 to 008. Flashing “Duplicate” shows duplicate station If numbers are entered directly from the keypad, it may temporarily permit a numbers‐ change address before duplicate, but this will not be sent to the decoder. If a duplicate station programming. number is entered in a multi‐station decoder, and the Next button is 16 ...

pressed, the ICD‐HP will refuse to send the program until the duplicate numbers have been changed. The outputs with duplicate numbers will flash “Duplicate”, alternating with the output numbers. Pump: If the Type was changed to Pump (instead of a station decoder), only Output 1 will be shown. Use + and – to change between P/MV‐1 and P/MV‐2. (P/MV = Pump/Master Valve). Programming: When all settings are made, and outputs are numbered (see Important Notes section), press the Next button to send the station numbers to the decoder. The display will show “Programming…” for a short time. If successful, “Programming Complete” will appear after the program has been sent. Decoder comm failed: This message indicates that the programming was not successful. Most likely causes are the connections, or the decoder power. Check power leads to the decoder, programming cup cable connections, and verify there is power on the two‐wire path from the controller (if programming in line). Turn Line Power Off, and Back On: After programming or re‐programming installed decoders, the two‐wire path power must be turned off for 15 seconds, and then back on, for the programming to take effect in the field. The station numbers will be in the decoder’s memory, but the power must be cycled (off/on) to take effect. You can turn off power to the controller, or remove the ADM99 output module from the controller, and then plug it back in after 15 seconds. 17 ...

Important Notes: Outputs may be assigned from 000 to 500. Do not assign a station number higher than the capacity of your controller, or it will not operate! (Example: ACC99D has 99 station capacity. Do not program a station number higher than 99). The ICD‐ HP does not know the capacity of your controller. Reserved Stations: It is possible to assign “000” to a decoder output with the ICD‐HP. This output will not be used. However, it may be programmed at a later date, to add a new station to a multi‐station decoder. -PROGRAM A DECODER-- Output 1: Sta-001 For example, a six‐station decoder could have output #6 (or any other Output 2: Sta-032 outputs) set to station 000. The 000 outputs would not be operational, but Output 3: Sta-025 could be reserved for future additions. Then the new station number could Output 4: Sta-081 Output 5: Sta-014 be assigned to the reserved 000 output with the ICD‐HP. Output 6: Sta-000 Press To Program Do not assign a station 000 unless you wish to skip a station, or reserve one for future expansion. Station number 000 cannot be turned on by a Sample ICD‐600 display with random station controller! numbers and Output 6 held in reserve (000). Stations in Random Order: It is possible to assign any valid station numbers in any order. The ICD‐HP can enter any ...

Do not assign duplicate addresses! No decoder controller should have duplicate station numbers, anywhere within the entire system. (This does not apply to station 000, however.) The ICD‐HP will not allow duplicate station numbers within a single decoder, but it cannot detect duplicates elsewhere in the system. Sensor Decoder Programming (ICD‐SEN) If the decoder in the programming cup is an ICD‐SEN sensor decoder, only PROGRAM A DECODER the address can be set. The Type will be Sensor, and this cannot be ---------------------- changed when a sensor decoder is found. Dec Type: Sensor Address: Choose an address between 1‐5 with the + or – buttons, and press Next to send to the sensor decoder. Turn Line Power Off, and Back On: After programming or re‐programming installed decoders, the two‐wire path power must be turned off for 15 seconds, and then back on, for the programming to take effect in the field. Other Sensor Decoder set up options are made at the controller, and not from the ICD‐HP. Consult controller and/or sensor decoder documentation for complete setup instructions.

Decoder comm failed: This may indicate a complete decoder failure, OR the decoder may not be connected or powered properly. Verify ALL connections: ICD‐HP to programming cup (both ends) and decoder power. If the decoder is connected in the two‐wire path but the controller power is Off, decoder will not respond. If decoder and ICD‐HP are connected correctly, and decoder has power, and Decoder comm failed message appears, decoder is likely defective. Current: Displays electrical current draw of decoder in milliamps. Standby range is approximately 3‐5ma. When decoder is active, this value will be higher, depending on number and type of devices connected to decoder output. Total current on a decoder cannot exceed 1000ma. The current display does not change in real time. If a station is started or stopped, run the diagnostic Get Decoder Status again to see the new current draw. Output: The output matrix shows the status of each output of the decoder. The display will show the number of outputs for the size of decoder detected (a single station decoder will only have 1 output). Solenoid: Shows whether a solenoid or similar device is detected on the output (Y=Yes, N=No). The Solenoid status may not change until power has been cycled off/on to the decoder, if a solenoid has just been added to the decoder. Turn off either the controller, or remove the ADM99 decoder output module from the controller, for approximately 15 seconds, and then turn the power back on (or replace the ADM99). Solenoid status will be updated. 21 ...

If the station is connected to a pressurized valve, the water will turn on. Take care to keep the ICD‐HP out of the water from sprinklers. Press ‐ to turn a station off. The station will turn off and the State will change from On to Off after a few seconds. Important Note: The ICD‐HP cannot set a run time for a decoder activation. The ACC controller will send an Off command down the two‐wire path once per minute, when no stations are supposed to be running. If you turn a station on with the ICD‐HP, this controller command will turn that station back off, within a minute. If longer run times are required for diagnostic purposes, turn another decoder station on from the ACC controller, or with a remote control (ICR, ROAM, or Maintenance Radio). As long as this station is running from the controller, the “off “ command will not be sent every minute. If another station is running from the controller as described, and a station in the field is turned on with the ICD‐HP, it will run for approximately 12 minutes, or until it is turned off from the ICD‐HP. Get Decoder Status: This allows quick access to the same status matrix for outputs as the Get Decoder Status command from the Decoder Programming menu. This can be used to view the current draw of a solenoid after it has been turned on with the Turn Station On/Off command from the ICD‐HP.
