The Potential of a Baseline BL-5200R Powered biCoder
The BL-5200R Series Powered biCoder is the best way to make any conventional wire site compatible with the world’s smartest irrigation controllers from Baseline. With the BL-5200R Series, you get all the functionality available from Baseline controllers. Baseline biSensor™ soil moisture sensors work over existing valve wire when connected to a Powered biCoder. Every Powered biCoder has built-in master valve ports. And, Powered biCoders are two-wire ready, so you can easily expand or upgrade an existing site to two-wire without interrupting the existing irrigation.
Flexibility
The BL-5200R Series Powered biCoders are available in 12, 24, 36, and 48 station count configurations. You can include up to 48 stations in an enclosure, with or without a controller. If your irrigation system is running on multiple, small irrigation controllers, you can consolidate them into one system with a Baseline controller and BL-5200R Powered biCoders in their own enclosures.
Specification
Powered biCoder Features
- Each Powered biCoder has 26 built-in addresses for assigning terminals to zones per circuit board.
- The Powered biCoder establishes two-way communication between the valve and the controller.
- A 12-station biCoder can concurrently operate up to 2 typical solenoids, plus 2 master valves.
- The 24-station, 36-station, and 48-station biCoders can concurrently operate up to 4 typical solenoids, each 12-station biCoder operating 2, plus 2 master valves.
- The Powered biCoder has two “sensor-over-valve-wire” terminals per 12 stations. The Powered biCoder communicates with a soil moisture sensor connected on each of these two terminals.
- The Powered biCoder has a test button that verifies electrical connection and communication with the moisture sensors on all “sensor-over-valve-wire” terminals.
- Each “sensor-over-valve-wire” terminal on the Powered biCoder has an LED that indicates proper electrical connection and communication with the moisture sensor that is connected on that terminal.
- The Powered biCoder has a test button that verifies electrical connection and communication with the moisture sensors on all “sensor-over-valve-wire” terminals.
- The Powered biCoder can activate an irrigation solenoid and/or read a soil moisture sensor over the same existing field common and station wires when connected to a “sensor-over-valve-wire” terminal.
- Valves can be located up to 1500 feet from the Powered biCoder.
- The electronics are enclosed in a drip-proof enclosure.
- Shock resistant
- Freeze/heat resistant -4oF to 140oF (-20oC to 60oC)
- Compatible with most common solenoids.
Diagnostic Features
- The Powered biCoder measures the current used by each solenoid. Changes in this measurement can be used to determine failing solenoids.
- If a solenoid has failed, the Powered biCoder senses an open circuit or an over-current condition and shuts down the valve.
- Each Powered biCoder will shut down if communication is lost to the BaseStation.

Wire Connection Specifications
- Use DBR/Y or equivalent for all wire connections. Install all connections according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Run the conventional wire between valve boxes without damage including nicks, cuts, or abrasions to the outer jacket.
- Allow a 24-inch slack loop at every valve box for making connections.
- Connect the red and black wire from the two-wire to the unit terminals.
- Connect a single valve wire from one typical solenoid to each terminal and connect all commons to the appropriate common terminal.
- Test the wire before installing the solenoids.
- The distance from the controller to the end of any one wire run must not exceed the maximum distance specified for the gauge of wire in the Wire Distance Chart.
