Press Next to continue.

Assign Station Numbers: The next screen will show the station number assigned to each decoder output. The number of outputs is based on the decoder’s size. A single station decoder (ICD-100) will only show one output. A two-station decoder (ICD-200) will show two output lines, etc.

Use the up and down arrows to move the pointer to each output. Use the number keys to type the controller station number you wish to assign to each output. Or use the + and – keys to raise and lower the station numbers.

If you have already assigned a station number to an output, using the + and – buttons to change another output will skip over any station number that has already been assigned.

Example: Output 1 is assigned Sta-007. When setting Output 2, using the +/– buttons will skip 007 and move directly from 006 to 008.

Pump: If the Dec Type was changed to Pump (instead of a station decoder), only Output 1 will be shown. Use + and – to change between P/MV-1 and P/MV-2 (P/MV = Pump/Master Valve).

Programming: When all settings are made and outputs are numbered (see Important Notes section), press the Next button to send the station numbers to the decoder.

The display will show “Programming…” for a short time. If successful, “Programming Complete” will appear after the program has been sent.

Decoder Comm Unsuccessful: This message indicates that the programming was not successful. Most likely causes are the connections or the decoder power. Check power leads to the decoder, programming cup cable connections, and verify there is power on the two-wire path from the controller (if programming in line).

Turn Line Power Off, and Back On: After programming or re-programming installed decoders, the two-wire path power must be turned off for 15 seconds, and then back on, for the programming to take effect in the field.

Important Notes:
Outputs may be assigned from 000 to 500. Do not assign a station number higher than the capacity of your controller, or it will not operate! (Example: ACC99D has 99 station capacity. Do not program a station number higher than 99). The ICD-HP does not know the capacity of your controller.

Reserved Stations: It is possible to assign “000” to a decoder output with the ICD-HP. This output will not be used. However, it may be programmed at a later date, to add a new station to a multi-station decoder.

For example, a six-station decoder could have output #6 (or any other outputs) set to station 000. The 000 outputs would not be operational, but could be reserved for future additions. Then the new station number could be assigned to the reserved 000 output with the ICD-HP.

Do not assign a station 000 unless you wish to skip a station, or reserve one for future expansion. Station number 000 cannot be turned on by a controller.

The ICD-HP will not allow duplicate station numbers within a single decoder, but it cannot detect duplicates elsewhere in the system.

Sensor Decoder Programming (ICD-SEN): If the decoder in the programming cup is an ICD-SEN sensor decoder, only the address can be set. The Dec Type will be Sensor, and this cannot be changed when a sensor decoder is found.

Choose an address between 1-5 with the + or – button, and press Next to send to the sensor decoder.

Turn Line Power Off, and Back On: After programming or re-programming installed decoders, the two-wire path power must be turned off for 15 seconds, and then back on for the programming to take effect in the field.

Other Sensor Decoder set up options are made at the controller, and not from the ICD-HP. Consult controller and/or sensor decoder documentation for complete setup instructions.

When a decoder is found, the status will be displayed.

Station Decoders: If the decoder is a Station Output decoder, the display will show the following information.

Dec State: Can be Normal, Fault, or Damaged.

Normal: Decoder is responding correctly.

Fault: Decoder output wires are shorted or solenoid coil is shorted. This does not indicate a problem with the decoder! Check field wiring and solenoid.

Damaged: There is a problem with the decoder, and it should be replaced. Damaged indicates the decoder is “leaking” voltage on the outputs when it should be off.

Decoder comm unsuccessful: This may indicate a complete decoder failure, OR the decoder may not be connected or powered properly. Verify ALL connections: ICD-HP to programming cup (both ends) and decoder power. If the decoder is connected in the two-wire path but the controller power is Off, decoder will not respond. If decoder and ICD-HP are connected correctly, and decoder has power, and Decoder comm unsuccessful message appears, the decoder may be defective.

Current: Displays electrical current draw of decoder in milliamps. Standby range is approximately 3-5 mA. When decoder is active, this value will be higher, depending on Power Factor, number and type of devices connected to decoder output. Total current on a decoder cannot exceed 1000 mA.
The current display does not change in real time. If a station is started or stopped, run the diagnostic Get Decoder Status again to see the new current draw.

Output: The output matrix shows the status of each output of the decoder. The display will show the number of outputs for the size of decoder detected (a single station decoder will only have 1 output).

Solenoid: Shows whether a solenoid or similar device is detected on the output (Y=Yes, N=No).
The Solenoid status may not change until power has been cycled off/on to the decoder, if a solenoid has just been added to the decoder. Turn off either the controller, or remove the ADM99 decoder output module from the controller, for approximately 15 seconds, and then turn the power back on (or replace the ADM99). Solenoid status will be updated.
