The technology behind SRC Decoders has been proven for decades in landscape and turf applications around the world. SRC Decoders have replaced satellites on centrally controlled irrigation systems for many years. They work with your Central Control System just like conventional satellites but are buried underground away from the elements. Decoders act as switching stations for digitized commands to sprinkler heads. Underground installation and simple, low-cost wiring make decoders an aesthetically pleasing and economical option for reliable in-field control.
A Cost-Effective Alternative
A simple wiring configuration and absence of protective enclosures keeps installation and maintenance costs low. SRC decoders require 1/10 of the cable length normally required in a traditional satellite-based system. Decoders utilize a two-way path of 1,5 mm2 or 2,5 mm2 wire connecting the Central Control System, Decoders and Valves or valve-in-head sprinklers.
Protect Against the Elements
With all electronic components fully sealed within a watertight enclosure and buried underground, damage from floods, frost, rodents or vandals is virtually eliminated. SRC Decoders are an especially good choice for flood plains and in other areas where the risk of satellite damage is high.
An Out-of-Sight Solution
Buried Decoder Systems leave nothing exposed to the elements. With no evidence of in-field control, this aesthetically pleasing alternative works perfectly in situations where satellite enclosures are unwanted or impractical.
The World’s most reliable decoder
The usage of Two-wire decoders have now become the standard within the irrigation industry. SRCdecoders have for years been best in class when it comes to design, installation, and maintenance. With more than 30 years’ experience, and with more than 4 million units installed world-wide SRC decoders have proven to be highly reliable.
