BaseStation 3200 Advanced Irrigation Controller Manual

Wiring Surge Protection and Lightning Arrestors

Install lightning arrestors according to the specification below. Each lightning arrestor protects roughly a 300 foot

circle, so you should place a lightning arrestor every 600 feet along the wire path. Ground each lightning arrestor

using an appropriate ground rod or plate as per the Baseline BL-LA01 Surge Arrestor Specification.

Notes

Each surge arrestor protects a 300 foot radius of the two-wire path or backbone wire on BaseStation 3200

systems.

Install a surge arrestor at the end of the two-wire that is the maximum distance from the controller, or in

a looped topology, at the point of maximum distance from the controller.

A stub length must not exceed 50 feet without a surge arrestor (must be within 300 feet of an existing

surge arrestor).

For R-series controllers, a lightning arrestor and appropriate ground rod or plate are required for each moisture

sensor connected to a valve wire that is more than 300 feet from the controller.

Installation Instructions

1. Power off the two-wire when installing devices. Leave 24 to 36 inches of slack on the two-wire to allow for

easy installation and maintenance.

2. Place the surge arrestor in a valve box.

3. Connect the red and black wire from the surge arrestor to the corresponding red and black wires on the

two-wire, making sure that you maintain polarity. You must use 3M™ Direct Bury Splice Kit DBR/Y connectors

on any two-wire connection in a valve box or buried in soil.

4. Connect the green wire from the surge arrestor to the bare copper using a water proof connection.
