Features

Cost and complexity have often limited decoder technology to higher-end systems. However, with the revolutionary EZ Decoder System (EZDS), you get all the advantages of two-wire installations with simpler, more cost-effective technology — so you can bring the power of two-wire control to more projects than ever before. 

The EZDS is compatible with all the features of the Hydrawise® enabled HCC and HPC Controllers, Centralus™ enabled ICC2 Controller, and trusted Pro-C® Controller. Plug in either the two-wire PC-DM or EZ-DM Decoder Output Module to enable up to 28 (HPC/Pro-C) or 54 (HCC/ICC2) stations on a single pair of wires. Then simply place EZ Decoders at each valve! 


EZ Decoders are small, waterproof, and come with color-coded wiring and a convenient LED status light. They don’t require special wire or connectors to function. Better yet, the system can coexist with conventional output modules, allowing hybrid functionality of both direct-wired valves and decoder operations in the same controller. This technology also permits easy conversion of a conventionally wired system to two-wire using the existing wiring bundle. It’s that easy! 
 

Key Benefits

Number of stations: - HPC/Pro-C: Up to 28, plus master valve - ICC2/HCC: Up to 54, plus master valve
No special wire or connectors required
No special grounding or surge arrestors required in-line to maximize time and money savings during installation
Programmable decoders with no need to input individual serial numbers
P/MV can activate via the two-wire path for distant master valves
Permits hybrid operations of side-by-side conventional and decoder stations for added flexibility
All EZ Decoders have built-in status LEDs for positive diagnostics
Battery operated EZDT reads decoder status, detects faults, and can even update controller firmware
