Configuring Sensor Decoder Settings
Sensor Decoders monitor dry contact switches
(e.g., moisture sensor, pressure switch, and security
systems) for open or closed conditions and inform
the MDC system of switch status. Your MDC
system supports up to 10 sensor decoders. Sensor
decoders can be
Flow Sensors, On/Off Sensors
or
Generic Sensors
(Please note that the type of
sensor decoders are set up on the
Edit Installation
>Sensor Decoders
screen).
After you decide what type of sensors you have in
your MDC system in the Edit Installation Wizard,
you can now do the Sensor Decoder Type-specific
settings through the
Sensor Decoder Wizard .
1. From the Rain Bird Remote Access window,
select Sensor Decoder Wizard . You are presented
with a list of all the sensors in your MDC system.
Please note that this first screen in the Sensor
Decoder Wizard also asks you if you want to
include any of the Flow Sensors in the Sum-Flow.
2. Click on the applicable button (either On/Off,
Generic or Flow ) to set up the alarm condition
for each sensor decoder.
Note:
Specific definitions for sensors, units of measure
and alarm triggers (Actions) are contained in Appendix IV.
Configuring On/Off Sensor Decoders
Alarm Condition
On/Off Sensor Decoders act as switches that
indicate whether an on or off condition exists. These
sensors are useful for indicating thresholds such as
the opening and closure of devices such as valves
and for alarms.
1. On
Sensor Decoder Wizard
, click on
On/Off
.
2. Set up the alarm information, including
Action, Object Type, Object ID, Flow Limit,
Conditions, Delay
and Call Setup for outbound
paging. Please note that you can define two (2)
alarm conditions per On/Off Sensor Decoder.
3. Click Next to define alarms for another On/Off
Sensor Decoder or Finish if you are done.
Note: When setting up an action to activate a
decoder, please note the duration of this action
will default to 999 minutes. Also, setting up an
action to deactivate a pump or master valve will not
deactivate decoders associated with it.
Note:
When setting up “Irrigation Prevent” as an
action, please note that this willl be applied to
schedules in
Auto Mode
but not those that are
manually started.
