Product Description
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.
The PC-DM is compatible with all the features of our Hydrawise-enabled HPC Controller, and the ever-reliable Pro-C controller. Plug in either the PC-DM two-wire output modules to enable up to 28 (Pro-C) 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!
KEY BENEFITS
- Number of stations: Up to 28, 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
See the chart below to understand the cable sizes you will need to use depending on the run length from your controller to your farther solenoid.

Decoder Modules FAQs
A decoder system uses electronic modules (decoders) to control multiple irrigation valves over a two-wire path, enabling efficient and scalable irrigation management for large or complex sites.
Decoder systems are ideal for councils, sports fields, golf courses, commercial landscapes, and large residential projects needing flexible zone control and reduced wiring complexity.
Decoder systems reduce cable requirements, simplify installation and expansion, lower costs for large installations, and provide centralised, reliable valve control.
Typically no, a decoder controller is specifically manufactured for 2-wire decoder irrigation systems. So it’s a usually case of choosing one method or the other. However, hybrid systems do exist that incorporate both.
A two-wire cable is run from the controller, with decoders installed at each valve location. Each decoder is programmed with a unique address to operate its assigned valve.
Check for wire breaks, damaged insulation, or water ingress. Use a decoder system tester to identify faults, and ensure all decoders are securely connected and programmed.
All decoder systems come with manufacturer warranties and expert support from our team for system design, installation, programming, and troubleshooting.
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.
