DIAL POSITIONS

The Novo has five main menus that can be selected similar to a rotary dial by 
simply pressing the corresponding menu button. When a button is pressed, a 
small red LED will illuminate providing confirmation of the selected menu.

This is the primary position when operating 
decoders from a host controller. The screen will 
display any station(s) currently operating and 
the total current draw of all stations operating 
in milliamps (mA).

Note:  Many host irrigation controllers only operate 2 stations at one time. 

Note:  The Novo cannot operate stations automatically from the host 

controller and a station manually at the same time. 

This menu is commonly used when the 
system is shut-off typically associated with 
“winterization” or if repairing or extending the 
2Wire path. In this mode scheduled irrigation 
commands from the host controller will not 
operate and AC power to the 2Wire path  
is de-energized. 

Faults identifies when a station is not working. 
The problem may be the

 

‚

2Wire path, 

 

‚

A decoder, 

 

‚

A station solenoid. 

The Diagnostics menu provides two separate 

functions:

 

‚

Determines if a command is received 
between the Novo and a host controller.

 

‚

Allows a user to reset decoder threshold 
settings. See the Troubleshooting section 
for more details.
