IRRITROL Decoder Systems
Surge protection decoder
The surge protection decoder must be installed
as mentioned above in the chapter about surge
protection in the field. Both the green/yellow wires
shall be connected to the ground rod/plate.
Connectors
An important factor to ensure a long-lasting system
is to make ALL connections are watertight – not
only the 2-wire connections, but also the solenoid
connections. This also counts for sensor decoders
and surge protection decoders.
It is recommended to use 3M DBR/Y-6 or similar.
Do not reuse the gel caps after dismantling as for
parts the silicone will be removed when pulling the
cables out.
Valve boxes
Even though the decoders are designed for direct
burial, it is recommended to install the decoders in
valve boxes. It makes future troubleshooting much
easier
