Cost and complexity have often limited decoder technology to higher-end systems. However, with the revolutionary EZ Decoder System (EZDS), you get all the advantages of two-wire installations with simpler, more cost-effective technology — so you can bring the power of two-wire control to more projects than ever before.
EZDS is compatible with all the features of our Hydrawise-enabled HCC controller, Centralus-enabled ICC2 controller, and reliable Pro-C controller. Plug in either the PC-DM or EZ-DM two-wire output modules to enable up to 28 (Pro-C) or 54 (HCC/ICC2) stations on a single pair of wires. Then simply place EZ Decoders at each valve!
EZ Decoders are small, waterproof, and come with color-coded wiring and a convenient LED status light. They do not require special wire or connectors to function. Better yet, the system can coexist with conventional output modules, allowing hybrid functionality of both direct-wired valves and decoder operations in the same controller. This technology also permits easy conversion of a conventionally wired system to two-wire using the existing wiring bundle. It’s that easy!
- Number of stations:
- Pro-C: Up to 28, plus master valve
- ICC2/HCC: Up to 54, plus master valve
- No special wire or connectors required
- No special grounding or surge arrestors required in-line to maximize time and money savings during installation
- Programmable decoders with no need to input individual serial numbers
- P/MV can activate via the two-wire path for pump stations or distant master valves
- Permits hybrid operations of conventional and decoder stations for added flexibility
- EZ-1 decoders have built-in status LED for positive diagnostics
- EZDT wireless, handheld diagnostic tool for EZ Decoder Systems:
- Detect faults and perform electrical troubleshooting in the field without uninstalling decoders
- Quickly read decoder status, station address, current draw, and two-wire voltage to simplify maintenance
- Program decoder station address via the wired connection to speed up installation and save time on-site
- Update controller facepack or decoder module firmware via ribbon cable connection for flexibility when updating systems
- Communicate in your preferred language using the multilingual user interface
- Work reliably and efficiently on the go with power supplied by 4 AAA batteries
See the chart below to understand the cable sizes you will need to use depending on the run length from your controller to your futherest solenoid.

Decoder Modules, Decoder Controllers FAQs
Fully installed by a professional, a domestic irrigation system will come out to about $1000 per zone. And as a DIY project, it can look more like $300 per zone! But of course that’s a very rough estimate, each system is different and there are a lot of factors to consider. Thankfully, we have the only tool around that INSTANTLY give an accurate estimate for your. Try our INSTANT Irrigation Quote Tool here!
To choose the right irrigation system, consider the size and layout of your garden or lawn, the types of plants you’re watering and your water source. Spray systems are ideal for most applications like lawns and gardens, while drip irrigation works well for mulched garden beds and areas exposed to wind and evaporation. For expert advice tailored to your needs, request a quote from us.
To set up an irrigation system, start by planning the layout, then install the mainline pipes, valves and fittings. Attach the sprinklers, drip emitters or other irrigation devices, and connect the system to a controller. Finally, test and adjust the system to check for proper coverage and efficiency. For a more precise and tailored setup, visit our Design Department. Our experts can design and quote a customised irrigation system that perfectly fits your landscape.
No, unless you’re tapping into your water supply, a plumber isn’t required. Most domestic irrigation systems can be installed by anyone half handy.
The main safety concern is regarding the water supply. To avoid contamination of the mains water upstream, in most municipalities, a Dual Check Valve is required at the water connection.
In some states a rain sensor is mandatory, but regardless it’s something you should include in your irrigation system. Having your system turn on in the middle of a day of rain is not only embarrassing, it’s a terrible waste of water & the overwatering is bad for your garden!
Even on a typical domestic system running on mains water a filter is still a good idea. In the event of a water main fault where rubbish does find it’s way down the line, a filter will protect the system from blockage and or failure. On systems operating off recycled water, like from a tank, a screen filter is mandatory. Debris like silt & dirt from recycled water is the most common cause of blockages of failures in irrigation systems.
