IRRITROL Decoder Systems
1. THE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The decoder system consists of various
components described below.
The main elements in an irrigation system are:
The guideline does not cover the valve installation
nor the controller part, but all the parts from the
2-wire interface to the solenoid driving the valve.
The LIFE 2-wire interface
The interface serves as the link between your
irrigation controller and the 2-wire system.
The interface receives commands from the
controller and transform them into 2-wire
commands which the field components understand
and react upon.The result of these commands will
be sent back to the controller. These commands
can be activation of a solenoid.
The interface works with a low voltage on the
2-wire; i.e. no need for certified electricians to
install the system.
