The TWI-H is the Tucor® Hybrid controller based on decades of proven field experience. The TWI-H has flexibility in the selection of Ethernet communication, zone output type and capacity, wired or wireless valves, solar or AC power. With options of LAN, WLAN, WIFI, cellular or any combination of the four methods, the TWI-H is ideally suited as the backbone of a controller retrofit program.

• To reduce the amount of controllers needed for retrofit projects, the Tucor® TWI-H has the added flexibility of multiple standard and wireless valve output terminals. For that instance where a remote valve is inaccessible, the TWI-H features a wireless battery powered system for DC/latching valves.

• The capability of managing up to 10 flow sensors (wired or wireless) and 9 booster pumps eliminates the need for multiple controllers when projects have multiple P.O.C’s.

In addition to having the capacity of up to 200 zones, at its core, the TWI-H is a sensor based controller. Programs can be easily controlled based on tank levels, soil moisture sensors, pH, pressure or any 4-20mA sensor on the market. For alternate water source applications requiring PLC like features, multiple If / Then scenarios can be built on top of each other, with a previous operation in turn causing another reaction. Or if the initial event doesn’t change, another operation can be performed. Programming access is from any standard web browser. Real-time control of the TWI-H is performed the same way: turn on stations and programs just like you are in front of the controller.

Specifications:

Available in 12/ 24 valve increments up to 192. Valve output: • Valve terminal - 12/ 24 • Wireless valve terminal - 4/8/12 • Wireless DC/Latching -1 up to 10 per

TDI – Two-wire Decoder Interface

v. 2

TDI Typical Applications The TDI is often used in either a new installation or in retrofitting an older controller. In a new (basic) installation, all of the valves will be connected to the TDI’s 2-wire, which means far less wire being used. In a retrofit, some of the valves will remain connected to the conventional controller, and new valves added to the TDI’s 2-wire (mixed). This means you don’t have to run new conventional wires.

A more elegant application is when you have some conventional wires already going beneath a hardscape – parking lot, road, etc. – and you want to add valves beyond that. Rather than trying to pull new wires if you should have conduit, you can simply find two valve wires and use them as the output of the TDI’s 2-wire. That is, if they are connected to existing valves, just disconnect them from the valves, remove the Common, add a decoder to each valve, and connect those two wires to the TDI as the 2-wire. You then connect more Tucor wire to the old wire to extend the 2-wire. This will allow you to add up to 48 more decoder/valves beyond the hardscape, as in the Mixed design above.

TWC-NV – Decoder ControllerTHE TWC-NV IS THE WORTHY SUCCESSOR to Tucor’s powerful and flexible TWC Flowmaster line, still based on Tucor’s proven 2-wire technology. The NV continues all of the irrigation control concepts and features of the TWC, and adds a number of enhancements; it takes advantage of significant improvements in modern electronics technology; and it is encased in a robust NEMA housing. It is directly compatible with all TWC components.

The TWC-NV requires only 2-wires to control up to 200 valves, up to 7 miles away. This remarkable feat is accomplished by connecting a uniquely-addressed decoder to the 2-wire path; the decoder

is also connected to the valve. Turning on the decoder then turns on the valve: up to ten at the same time!

Feedback, flow control, alarm functions, and Excel-based reporting features are unsurpassed. Options such as a phone modem, Ethernet connection, and radio remote control add functionality and convenience. Included “RMS” Windows-based software makes controller remote operations and programming changes a breeze.

The NV is available in four sizes, for 50, 100, 150, and 200 decoders. Upgrades are easily performed at the controller via software keycodes.

SD-100 – Sensor Decoder The SD-100 sensor decoder is a fully programmable, direct-bury decoder that provides an interface between Flowmaster controllers and field sensors. This means that virtually any type of sensor, such as flow, temperature, or moisture, can be added to a new or existing system. The sensor decoder is installed on the same two-wire path as the line decoders, so the sensor may be a

considerable distance from the controller. It may be programmed to operate with a 4-20 mA or pulsed digital input (as with a standard flow meter). Up to ten SD-100’s may be used on Tucor controllers.* The SD-100 can add yet another level of flexibility and logging data to your Tucor controller.

INPUT ELECTRICALLY:

2 different interfaces may be selected:

• 4-20 mA • Pulses per time

Sensor resolution is 200 steps. Accuracy is better than 1% of maximum value. Unique sensor ID is factory programmed.

OPERATION:

When used with an appropriate flowmeter, output is measured and recorded as flow rates. Various controller responses may be defined based on sensor input. The controller polls the sensors for data either once or twice per minute, depending upon the number of sensors installed.*

INSTALLATION:

The sensor is wired directly to the 2-wire path. Inputs are color-coded for proper polarization, if necessary. The sensor calibration is defined in the appropriate controller’s PC software and is then transferred to the controller via the RS232 connection. Includes built-in SP-100 for added surge protection.

RKD – Decoders & Wire THE RKD is a decoder-based, 2-wire controller supporting from 1-100 Stations (valves). The RKD uses the RKLD-050 decoder to energize valves in the field. The RKLD-050 is easily programmed by the user with a specific Station ID, then is connected anywhere along the 2wire path. Enabling that Station then turns on the valve. The decoder can energize almost any 24 VAC solenoid on the market, and can be reprogrammed with a different ID when desired.

Tucor wire is the preferred means of connecting the field decoders to the RKD. Tucor wire is designed expressly to ensure a secure, watertight electrical pathway for decades in the future.

Field disruptions due to lightning are minimized by use of the SP-100 surge protector, which safely absorbs 2wire voltage surges. It adds substantial protection to the 2-wire path.

distance away from each other, the rain data may vary considerably over that area. The TRBs will ensure that the Rain pulses being sent to your controller will reflect what is actually falling around that particular controller.

SMP-12 Sensor

Soil Moisture Monitoring maintains Tucor’s lead at the forefront of the water conservation and plant health movement. By using sensors embedded in the soil root zone, Tucor controllers are able to continuously monitor the soil for the proper amount of moisture, specific to your particular location and your plants’ needs. Installed along with any of our various ET devices, Tucor’s Cycle Manager software will ensure that your soil both starts and remains at the proper moisture content, even as the ET feedback adjusts your irrigation around that optimal level.

Tucor’s Soil Moisture Monitoring devices come in two styles:

• The Sensor, which measures one moisture level within the soil.

• The Probe, which incorporates multiple sensors within one housing for a range of measurements in a depth of soil.

Whichever method you use, Soil Moisture Monitoring will ensure that Tucor controllers will economically deliver just the water your plants need to stay healthy and green.

SMS Sensor (SMS-100):

The SMS-100 is a single-sensor design. Buried within the root zone, the SMS-100 will continuously monitor the moisture content and provide feedback to the Tucor controller. Compensation factors are included for a range of soil types. Cable length: 13', extendable to 2000'. Operating temperature: 23°F – 122°F Dimensions (approx.): 7" x 0.6" x 2.75"

SMP Probes (SMP-12, -20, -40, -60):

The SMP Probes come in four lengths for use in different environments. Probe lengths are 12", 20", 40", and 60". Each probe contains multiple sensors. Using multiple sensors within the probe permits the measurement of moisture levels within a depth of soil.

The number of sensors within the probe and spacing between sensors is:

• -12: 6, 2" • -20: 5, 4" • -40: 10, 4" • -60: 15, 4"

Cable length: 13', extendable to 2000' Operating temperature: 23°F – 122°F

Operations and features:

• All sensors within each probe can be monitored and the moisture levels and soil temperatures recorded. Results are displayed in a color-coded spreadsheet for quick analysis. Email alarms may be sent under certain fault conditions.*

Tucor Control Cable

TUCOR CONTROL CABLE is a tough, reliable wire designed to operate valve decoders and sensor decoders. It consists of bare copper conductors insulated with PVC and a high-density polyethylene, direct burial jacket. Operating 2 valves simultaneously, the cable can extend to 17,100 feet on 16 gauge and 27,300 on 14 gauge.† Additional gauges are available on

special order. In most applications, 16 gauge is the wire of choice, as it is easier to handle than 14 gauge yet is still durable. Wires are color-coded red and black for troubleshooting ease. Jackets are available in multiple colors for easy wire identification and tracing. Use only the best wire: install Tucor!

FLOWMASTER WORKING RANGE: † The length of the cable that will permit reliable operation of the valves depends upon the size of the wires and the number of valves that need to be operated simultaneously. If the line is supplied with power from one end only (not looped), the ranges can be read off the table below. The table is based on standard valves (24 VAC, 2 W, 28 Ω), using default Tucor switch code settings. Looping the wire greatly extends the range.
