VSX Series Specifications.................................................................................................................. 47
The VSX controller may be used as a
standalone controller for up to 60 stations, or
103 stations in a decoder system. It may also
be part of a central system, connected to a
central computer via radio or hardwire com-
munications. You can upgrade a standalone
VSX controller to a networked controller at
any time, by adding communications kits and
connecting it to a central computer.
Two Controllers in One: The VSX actually
has two different “brains” for storing and
running two different kinds of irrigation
programs. The keypad on the controller can
create and run Field Controller Programs in
one brain. An optional central control sys-
tem, with a computer and communications,
can create and transmit System Programs to
the other brain.
