Universal 2 PLUS

THE BIGGER THE JOB, THE MORE YOU NEED TWO-WIRE.

The Universal 2 PLUS converts the output of any standard controller to two-wire output. With the Universal 2 PLUS you can now have the best of both scenarios. Take advantage of the features of your chosen standalone Controller or Central Satellite System and now with the Universal 2 PLUS you can have the added feature of utilizing a two-wire system for all your irrigation valve field wiring.

All standard irrigation 24 VAC output controllers are compatible with the Universal 2 PLUS two-wire converter. To utilize this incredible device simply use 18 gauge wire toconnect the controller terminal strip for each valve to each corresponding station number on the Universal 2 PLUS. Whenever the controller activates any station (1-40), the 24 VAC output of the controller activates the specific LogicPLUS code corresponding to that specific station numbered receiver. The code is then sent throughout the two-wire path to the field utilizing the same technology and communication as the LogicPLUS controller. The opened valve is activated for the same duration that the controller activates the Universal 2 PLUS. Any valve can be activated for any duration in any sequence.

The Universal 2 PLUS is a standalone unit that accepts output from the controller of your choice and responds accordingly. It does not affect the “program” or operation of the controller. All communication with the Universal 2 PLUS is one way: into the Universal and out to the field in the form of a code that utilizes the time tested and proven technology of the LogicPLUS two-wire system. The controller is insulated from any Universal 2 PLUS feedback due to the use of infrared communication technology. The controller retains its full autonomy and remains radio remote compatible.

The Universal 2 PLUS may also be used for any irrigation system “re-modeling,” where the field wiring of the system is failing or completely inoperative. You can convert any part of an existing system—or the entire system—to a new and reliable control system if you have two functional wires with continuity from your existing controller to the area(s) of valves that need assistance. These two-wires will become your primary two-wire path of which you can then expand on from there. Existing or additional valves may easily be added to the two-wire system utilizing the Universal 2 PLUS in conjunction with your new or existing controller. Typically, the operational part of your system will be left as-is. The area requiring new control capability utilizes the two “good” wires and only the valves connected to this part of the system utilizes the Universal 2 PLUS two-wire technology. The scope to which these 2 existing wires can be used for your two-wire path is dependent on the wire integrity and size.

The Universal 2 PLUS is the answer for any system where you want to blend the features and capabilities of your favorite controller with two-wire output. It provides remarkably enhanced versatility and flexibility for new and existing systems. This incredible technology can save you miles of wire and thousands of dollars in installation expenses and future maintenance.
