Decoders to Pumps/MVs

1. On the controller: turn dial to Water Sources → Assign Decoders to Pumps/Mvs → Enter. 
   • Left side: unassigned biCoders eligible for MVs.
   • Right side: Master Valve numbers that can be assigned.
2. Use +/- to select a biCoder you want to assign to Master Valve.
3. Use Next/Previous (up/down arrow) to highlight the Master Valve. Press Enter to assign.

Flow Meters Setup

1. Hit the Back to set up Flow Meters Setup: 
   • Highlight the Flow Meter number with +, press Next, enable it to start reading flow.

   • Set the K-value in the offset or pulses per gallon for flow meter/flow biCoder.

Assign Devices to Water Sources

1. Press Back, go to Assign Devices to Water Sources:
   • Select POC number (ex. POC 1).
   • Assign Master Valve (serial number) to POC.
   • You can set Pump/MV type to Normally Open or Normally Closed.

Water Source (POCs) Setup 

1. Configure settings specific to POC under Water Source (POCs) Setup:
   • Enable/disable POC. 
   • Set priority; higher priority POCs are used before lower. If there’s 2 POC assigned to one Mainline that have the same priority it will run together.
   • Assign design flow (expected gallons) and high flow limit; choose whether to shut down if exceeded.
   • Unscheduled Flow or when the controller is not actively running any programs/zones, do you want to allow any gallons to run through? Use if you have a hose bib or quick coupler.
     • Decide if you want to shutdown POC if unscheduled flow limit is exceeded
   • Set total monthly gallons budget; controller monitors usage and stops POC if exceeded (set Yes to stop using POCs).
   • Intelligent water rationing feature spreads monthly budget across days; leftover gallons are banked for future use

POC Empty Condition 

1. Press Back, go to POC Empty Condition:
   • If a moisture sensor/event biCoder is connected to a switch, it can tell the controller when the POC is empty
   • Enable the “Empty as < %” setting. 
     • This tells the controller to stop using the POC if the sensor reads below that %. 
     • The event biCoder allows connection to any switch type.
   • Wait time can be set to allow refill and controller will wait until the empty condition is removed before resuming operations. 

Examples

Ex.1: Pump station with a variable drive pump that uses a master valve and when the pump sense the master valve open and the pressure drop, it ramps the pump to meet the flow demand. To configure this, assign the master valve and flow meter to POC 1 and the pump to POC 2, both will have the same medium priority. The 3200 will operate POCs with the equal priority at the same time, when they are assigned to the same mainline. 

Ex 2: If site has multiple water sources, one is a primary water source and the other as a backup. The controller can automatically switch between them. For example, a cistern with a pump and flow sensor can be assigned to POC 1 with high priority, ensuring it is used before switching to the city water source. The city water source, with its own master valve and flow meter, can be assigned to POC 2 with lower (medium) priority. Both POCs are assigned to the same mainline.
