1.0 How it Works
1.0 How it Works
A decoder is installed at each valve box to activate the valves.
Each decoder has a unique address which identifies it to the
Weathermatic SL9600TW 2-wire programming module. The
SL9600TW 2-wire decoder module broadcasts a command
to activate the specific address. All the decoders on the
2-wire system “decode” the message but only the appropriate
decoder responds and turns the attached valve on or off. The
decoders on the 2-wire system read the message sent from the
appropriate valve, turning the valves on and off accordingly.
The decoder then will respond back with a status message.
The advantages of a SmartWire™ system include cost savings
from reduction in copper wire usage and corresponding
trenching, simplicity of wiring and troubleshooting and ease of
expansion when additional zones are needed. Weathermatic
SmartWire™ 2-Wire allows for connection of up to 3 separate
2-wire paths to simplify installation on larger projects.
SmartWire™ is a member of the SmartLine® family of water
management products offering automated, on-site water
management.
