M3UICDDECSix Station Decoder

ICD400/600 Series Decoder FCC Notice FCC ID: M3UICDDEC This device complies with FCC rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference and • This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for class B digital devices, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna • Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver • Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help The user is cautioned that changes and modification made to the equipment without the approval of the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. Installation Instructions This package includes: (1) ICD400 or ICD600 decoder module (1) Instruction Sheet Tools/supplies required* (not included):  DBRY-6 high-voltage waterproof connectors or equivalent  DBY waterproof connectors or equivalent  Wire strippers  Optional earth grounding hardware The ICD Series decoders may be connected to the Hunter ACC, AGC, Genesis, VSX, and IDS decoder controllers. • In the ACC or AGC controllers, each decoder is programmed with station address(es) at the controller, before installing it in the 2-wire path. These controllers have a programming port on the decoder output module. Program the station number(s) into the decoder, and then write the station number assignments on the metallic tag on the decoder. The 8-digit serial number is not used in the decoder set-up on these controllers. • ICD Decoders may also be programmed with the Hunter Industries Model ICD-HP handheld programmer, after installation. 1. In the ACC/AGC series of controllers, first Insert the red and blue wires from the decoder into the Programming Ports on the decoder output module (ADM99). 2. Use the procedure in the ACC / AGC owner’s manual for addressing decoders. Use a ballpoint pen to write the station number(s) on the decoder’s metallic tag. Each decoder output can power two standard 24VAC Hunter solenoids. They must be wired in parallel, as shown in step 9. • In Genesis, VSX, and IDS controllers, the decoder can be installed on the 2-wire path before giving it a station address using the 7-digit serial number followed by “x”. The 8-digit serial number is required for station addressing Hunter Industries 1940 Diamond Street • San Marcos, California 92078 • TEL (1) 760-744-5240 • Field Services (800) 248-6561 • FAX (1) 760-591-9582 • www.hunterindustries.com • www.huntergolf.com April, 2010 2 on the Genesis, VSX and IDS controllers. • “x” at the end of a serial number is replaced with 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the controller station programming to indicate which colored pair matches the station number (see chart). • Note and record the 8-digit serial number on the decoder body, and then use the controller keypad to indicate which station number(s) will be assigned to the decoder (see controller manual). Installing the decoder: 1. Controller power must be OFF when installing decoders in the 2-wire path. 2. Select the decoder location (unless you are replacing an existing decoder). Decoders should be within 100 feet/33m of the solenoids they will operate. Decoders are waterproof, but should be installed in a valve box to facilitate future service and increase longevity. 3. Locate the 2-Wire path. These are the Red and Blue wires coming from the controller. The wire path must be cut to insert decoder wiring, unless you are replacing an existing decoder. Be sure to leave enough slack in the wire path to allow easy connection of the decoder, and to allow for contraction of wiring due to temperature changes. Hunter recommends at least 5ft./1.5m slack for each decoder, to allow it to be removed from the valve box completely for installation, service, and inspection. 4. Identify the color-coded wires on the decoder. The red & blue wires connect to the red and blue wire path from the controller. 5. Strip the cut red and blue wire ends back approximately ½ inch (12mm). 6. Twist the stripped red wire ends (the ends from the 2-wire path and the decoder) together, and thread securely into the wire nut for the DBRY-6 or equivalent waterproof connector. Seal in accordance with the connector manufacturer’s instructions (insert threaded wire nut connection into waterproof grease, and snap cap securely shut over wires). 7. Repeat with the blue wires: connect the blue end(s) from the 2-wire path with the decoder, and secure in a separate DBRY-6 or equivalent waterproof connector. 8. Each color-coded decoder output operates one or two solenoids up to 150 feet/45m away (greater distances are possible, but increase susceptibility to lightning damage). • Wire runs to the solenoids should be twisted pairs (if solenoids are over 20 ft./7m from decoder) of at least 18 AWG (1mm dia.) wire. The twist in the wire is important, because it is an aid in lightning and surge suppression. Connect each color-coded station output to the desired solenoid(s) as follows: • The non-insulated bare copper wire is the decoder’s grounding wire and is only used on selected decoders.

It consists of a linear power supply, microcontroller, outputs to control an irrigation solenoid and a 125kHZ On/Off Keying (OOK modulation) transceiver. The microcontroller uses a 4MHZ ceramic resonator as a clock source for the execution of instructions. When the communications function is activated, the RF transmitter will be On/Off Keying for up to 625mS during which data is sent, then shut off for at least 50mS. The max duty cycle is therefore 93%. The data consists of a preamble, address field, command byte, data fields and checksum. The address field is provided for security, and the data field contains the information for testing or monitoring of ICD-HP. Variations: In addition to the ICD-600, which is a six station unit, there are also 1, 2, and 4 station units. These model numbers are ICD-100, ICD-200, and ICD-400 respectively. The difference between the other models and the six station unit that was tested, is that the other models circuit components depopulated in the “Circuitry to Solenoid Outputs” block shown below. The ICD-600 is the most populous unit. 6) Block Diagram
