Overview

• The SubStation CP is capable of self-identifying to the BaseStation 3200 and will report pre-configured unique serial numbers and zone addresses.
• The SubStation CP serial numbers are printed on the inside of the enclosure.
• The SubStation CP can be connected to flow devices with either 2 or 3 wires.
• The SubStation CP reads a minimum of a 1-millisecond low pulse at 400 hertz and a maximum of 400 pulses per second.
• The SubStation CP is able to search for a flow meter.
• The SubStation CP is able to run a pulse-output flow meter up to 1,500 feet away.
• The SubStation CP is able to run a 24VAC master valve up to 1,500 feet away.
• Search for and assign each decoder serial number to a zone address report whether or not a solenoid is present. 
• Re-address any device from the controller by re-assigning the devices serial number to a new zone address.  
• Detect and repair from the controller all address conflicts for devices that are connected to the two-wire. 
• Provides diagnostic LEDs for simple installation and troubleshooting
• Displays status of device and the connected status of the BaseStation 3200
• “Cloud-display” offers controller-like display accessible in BaseManager
• High-speed LTE cellular communication
• NEMA 6P (IP68) waterproof lockable enclosure
• Supports firmware updates over the air

BaseStation 3200 Features

• Learn the flow for each zone
• Use flow data to maximize the number of zones the controller can turn on at once to help shorten water windows
• In the event of unexpected high or low flow, automatically determine which zone is at fault and alert without interrupting the rest of the watering cycle
• Protect site from mainline breaks with configurable high and low flow shutdown settings
• The BaseStation 3200 supports up to 8 SubStation CP devices
• Total ControlPoint counts, including the flow sensor and master valves connected to all SubStation CPs must remain within the BaseStation 3200 specifications.
  • SubStation CP devices that exceed the BaseStation 3200 limits are ignored.
• All search and assign operations for SubStation RV zones are performed from the BaseStation 3200 or from BaseManager.
• All programming operations for SubStation RV zones are performed from the BaseStation 3200 or  from BaseManager.
• All test operations for SubStation RV zones are performed from the BaseStation 3200 or from BaseManager.
• Displays status of the SubStation RV connection and reports the number of each zone from last search
• For SubStation RV compatibility, ensure that the BaseStation 3200 is running firmware version 18.0 or greater.

Electrical Specifications

• Transformer Input requires 120 VAC, 50 Hz to 60 Hz and a minimum of a 5 amp breaker
• Requires a certified electrician for hard-wire installation
• The SubStation CP has a built-in amperage meter to accurately measure and diagnose flow meter electrical problems such as “no current,” “station short,” or “over current.”
• Does not support other Baseline flow management products with integrated 2-wire technologies
• The SubStation CP can supply up to 20mA of current and 13v.
• Requires a typical solenoid with approximately 400 milliamps of inrush current and approximately 200 milliamps holding current
• 10 levels of surge protection
• Up to 5 levels of surge protection built into the controller boards
• Minimum surge response time of 1 picosecond
• The flow meter output wires of the SubStation CP has up to 470 volts of isolation. This isolation provides the following benefits:
• Prevents high voltages from affecting the system that is receiving the signal
• Prevents electrical paths from crossing when multiple flow meter devices are connected

Communication Specifications

• The SubStation CP communicates with a BaseStation 3200™ irrigation controller over a 256-bit encrypted cellular network.
• The SubStation CP supports AT&T and Verizon service providers

Enclosure Options

• SubStation CP enclosures are large enough to hold the processor board, the terminal board, power supply, and a communication module.
  • High impact polycarbonate low profile hinged enclosure with integrated locking latch, opaque cover and integrated mounting flange.
  • The enclosure is 8 inches tall by 6 inches wide by 3 inches deep
  • Includes enclosure mounting tabs
  • Includes three openings in the bottom of the enclosure to accommodate field and power wires
  • NEMA 6P (IP68) Waterproof
  • Freeze/heat resistant -4°F to 140°F
    • (-20°C to 60°C)
  • NEMA 6P (IP68) Waterproof

Warranty

• The controller and installed equipment carry a standard warranty of 5 years from the date of installation.
• The user can apply for an extended warranty of 10 years from the date of installation.
• Approval of the extended warranty is based on:
  • Fully completed extended warranty application
  • Successful site inspection completed by an authorized Baseline representative
• The extended warranty shall include coverage of surge damage, even from a direct lightning strike. However, surge protection equipment must be installed according to specification.

How to Specify

• BL-SUBSTN-CP-DP-VZ = Direct Power SubStation CP with Verizon cellular service provider
• BL-SUBSTN-CP-DP-AT = Direct Power SubStation CP with AT&T cellular service provider
• To specify the BaseStation 3200 irrigation controller, refer to the BaseStation 3200 Technical Specification

The SubStation CP supports flow sensing devices with a pulse-output. The SubStation CP will not support flow sensing devices that already have 2-wire integrated technology. The following product series are not compatible with the SubStation CP:

• BL-PFS-XXX
• BL-BHM-XXX
• BL-CP-PFS-XXX
