Central ControlsCentral ControlMDC Decoder-Based Control System
Two-wire Decoder system with advanced control capabilities for
single sites.■ Water management capabilities in a cost-effective, single
site package.■ Decoders provide ease of installation and expansion
flexibility.■ Upgradeable to SiteControl for full central control.Features- Solid-state design.
- Increase flexibility and confidence with UL listed, indoor/outdoor,
modular decoder controller (MDC). - Program and monitor MDC from a PC or laptop.
- Improve aesthetics and reduce costs with buried in-field controls.
- Protect against the elements with completely encapsulated electronic
components. - Utilizes less wire than conventional satellite systems in larger projects.
- Simple two-wire system, with equipment that can be spliced and
stored during installation. - Pre-coded decoder addressing eliminates confusion associated with
switch-based addressing. - Reduce chance of damage from animals or vandals using
underground “switch boxes”. - Built-in electrical diagnostics, including decoder test and short
circuit detection.
