Product Description
PC-DM Decoder Module for Pro-C
- The Pro-C controller is supplied with a base 4-station module. The Pro-C is also compatible with the EZ Decoder System (EZDS) for hybrid conventional and two-wire operations. Add a Pro-C Decoder Module (PC-DM) to enable control for up to 32 total stations. This system uses the same EZ-1 decoders used with ICC2 and HCC controllers. Combined with web-based management tools the EZDS greatly simplifies irrigation management.
- Simple push-button programming of decoders without the need for serial numbers
- Electrical output on two-wire path: 24 VAC, 50/60 Hz• Up to two standard 24VAC solenoids per EZ-1 decoder output
- Two-wire paths allow for tee-splicing in different directions
- EZ-1 Decoders are rated IP68, submersible
- Reliable operation over 600m, depending on wire size
- Up to 54-station capacity, plus master valve
- No special wire or connectors required
- Allows hybrid operations of conventional and decoder stations
- Compatible with any direct-burial wire
- The PC-DM can only be installed in the last two station output slots (similar to PCM-900 and PCM-1600 installation). The PC-DM will not physically fit or operate in any other station output slot.
- IMPORTANT: While the addition of this module increases total station count to 32, the first 4 stations cannot be programmed as decoders and must be wired conventionally to the 4-station master module. This leaves stations 5–32 available for EZ decoder operation. This allows for hybrid conventional/decoder operation. If only EZ decoders are to be used, there are 28 total stations available, and the first station must be programmed as station 5.
*Please note: Only compatible with units manufactured from FEB 2020*
