Programming a two valve decoder must be done BEFORE installation on the 2-wire path.
1. Plug the decoder into the terminal located on the mini-chassis board as illustrated below.
2. Press SETUP.
3. Press à until CONFIGURE H2O 2-WIRE displays (setup 15).
4. Press + or – until Program decoders displays.
5. Press SELECT.

In the example above, you will know the decoder is a two-valve decoder because of the 2 after the decimal point next to TYPE. Note also the two addresses shown on line 2. These are the addresses that will get assigned to this decoder.
7. Press * to assign the decoder to the stations shown.
8. Press + or – to set the power level. For a dual valve decoder, the power level for both valves is the same, and cannot be different. Note that the power defaults to low. For most stations, low power is sufficient. However, some stations may require more power due to a longer 2-wire path or a higher electrical requirement for a specific valve type.
9. Press * to configure the decoder. The following screen displays, confirming a successful assignment:
Note
