ICD‐HP can enable new programming options for ICD decoders. It can program any station numbers in any order within a multi‐station decoder, and can “skip” stations to reserve them for future use.
ICDHP Components ICD‐HP is packaged with required accessories.
Item Part Description 1 ---- ICD-HP Programmer 2 205700 Programming Cup 180504 Programming Cable 6’/2m with connectors 4 180508 Red and Blue 6’/2m leads 5 ---- Carrying Case 6 ---- 4 x AA batteries 3 6 The Programming Cable is NOT a standard BNC connector cable, and cannot be replaced with a standard coaxial BNC cable. This item is unique to the ICD‐HP programmer.
Installing the Batteries The ICD‐HP programmer operates with 4 x AA batteries. The batteries supplied are not rechargeable! To install batteries: Remove cables and connectors from end of ICD‐HP. Pry the yellow flexible yellow boot off the ICD‐HP. Turn the ICD‐HP over, and remove the 2 screws securing the battery compartment cover with a small screwdriver (either standard or Philips). Insert 4 fresh AA batteries as shown, observing polarity. Replace cover with screws and secure. Replace yellow boot.
Keypad Functions 1. Power button. 2. Number buttons, used to enter station numbers and other numeric data. 3. Back button. Returns to previous menu. 4. Plus and Minus (+/‐) buttons. Used to change station numbers, and also to turn stations On (+) and Off (‐). 5. Arrow buttons. Used to navigate within screens, move pointers, or change outputs on multi‐station decoders. 6. Enter. Used mostly to retry certain functions. 7. Question/Info. Used to switch pages, in some screens.
Cable and Lead Connections Red Lead Red and Blue Leads: Connect the straight connectors by pushing all the way into the appropriately colored plugs. Programming Cable: Connect either end of the supplied cable to the connector on the ICD‐HP. Align connector slots with female connector on programmer, push straight in, and turn 90 degrees until the connector locks into place. Connect the other end of the Programming Cable to the Programming Cup in the same way.
does have pockets for the two different sizes of decoder, and these will help hold the cup and decoder together firmly in field applications. Bench Mode: If the decoder is uninstalled, and not connected to the two‐wire path: Install the red and blue wire leads for the ICD‐HP. Connect the programming cup to the ICD‐HP. Clip the red and blue leads to the decoder red and blue leads. Place the decoder in the programming cup.
Seat the programming cup over the decoder. The bottom of the decoder (the end with no wires) should be within the programming cup. Verify that the two‐wire path is connected to the controller, and that controller power is on. The decoder will be powered over the two‐wire path, and the red and blue ICD‐HP leads will not be necessary. Protect the ICD‐HP from sprinkler spray and other water sources! Operations Turn the programmer on with the power button.
ICD‐HP Set‐up LCD Settings: Adjust screen appearance with Contrast, Backlight, and Backlight Timeout controls. Use the arrow buttons to move to the item you wish to change, and press the + or – buttons to adjust the settings. Increasing the contrast and backlight can improve visibility in low light conditions, but will also consume batteries more quickly. The backlight will turn off automatically after a period of no use.
Current Dec Versions: Shows the current versions of decoder firmware loaded into ICD‐HP. If you flash update a decoder’s operating system, this is the version that will be loaded. Decoder Programming Menu Install a decoder with either method in “Connecting to a Decoder” section. DECODER PROGRAMMING ----------MENU--------Get Decoder Info Program Decoder Get Decoder Status From the Main Menu, use the arrow keys to point to Decoder Programming, and press the Next 3 button.
Output #: If the decoder is a multi‐station decoder, the display only shows the station address of one output at a time. Each color‐coded pair of wires from the decoder is a different output. Press the left and right arrow buttons to move through the different outputs, and view the station numbers for each output. Decoder Info screens multi‐page screens. Press the ? button for More. The second page will show the Power Factor, Inrush setting, and Version of the decoder firmware.
Program Decoder will enter the station addresses and other settings of the decoder. Move the pointer with the arrow buttons at the Main Menu screen to Program Decoder and press Next 3. The ICD‐HP will check for a decoder. If successful, it will display the Type, Power Factor, and Inrush information for the decoder after a few seconds. Type: Press the + and – buttons to change the decoder type.
Inrush: This can change the inrush timing for the station or relay when first turning on. Default setting is 3, and this rarely needs to be changed. Consult Hunter Technical Support before changing the Inrush value. Press Next 3 to continue. Assign Station Numbers: The next screen will show the station number assigned to each decoder output. The number of outputs is based on the decoder’s size. A single station decoder (ICD‐100) will only show one output.
pressed, the ICD‐HP will refuse to send the program until the duplicate numbers have been changed. The outputs with duplicate numbers will flash “Duplicate”, alternating with the output numbers. Pump: If the Type was changed to Pump (instead of a station decoder), only Output 1 will be shown. Use + and – to change between P/MV‐1 and P/MV‐2. (P/MV = Pump/Master Valve).
Important Notes: Outputs may be assigned from 000 to 500. Do not assign a station number higher than the capacity of your controller, or it will not operate! (Example: ACC99D has 99 station capacity. Do not program a station number higher than 99). The ICD‐ HP does not know the capacity of your controller. Reserved Stations: It is possible to assign “000” to a decoder output with the ICD‐HP. This output will not be used.
Do not assign duplicate addresses! No decoder controller should have duplicate station numbers, anywhere within the entire system. (This does not apply to station 000, however.) The ICD‐HP will not allow duplicate station numbers within a single decoder, but it cannot detect duplicates elsewhere in the system. Sensor Decoder Programming (ICD‐SEN) If the decoder in the programming cup is an ICD‐SEN sensor decoder, only the address can be set.
Connect to any decoder to view status, for identification and diagnostics. This can be used with either installed decoders, or disconnected decoders that are powered through the ICD‐HP power leads. From the Main Menu, select Decoder Programming with the Next 3 button. Move the pointer with the up/down arrows to Get Decoder Status, and press Next 3 again to select. The ICD‐HP will attempt to communicate with the decoder. When a decoder is found, the status will be displayed.
Decoder comm failed: This may indicate a complete decoder failure, OR the decoder may not be connected or powered properly. Verify ALL connections: ICD‐HP to programming cup (both ends) and decoder power. If the decoder is connected in the two‐wire path but the controller power is Off, decoder will not respond. If decoder and ICD‐HP are connected correctly, and decoder has power, and Decoder comm failed message appears, decoder is likely defective.
Active: Shows whether the output is currently turned on (Y=Yes, N=No). Sensor Decoders: If the decoder found during Get Decoder Status is a Sensor Decoder, the display will show the status of each sensor input to the decoder’s Ports, on individual screens. Use the left and right arrows to see each Port (A and B) individually. Clik sensors: The display will show the current state of the Clik input as Closed (normal) or Open (alarmed).
valves open and close. Decoder Firmware The decoder firmware menu checks, and has the ability to update, a decoder’s operating system (firmware). From the Main Menu, use the up/down arrows to move the pointer to Decoder Firmware, and press Next 3. The display will show two options, Get Decoder Ver and Update Dec Firmware. Get Decoder Ver: Move the pointer to Get Decoder Ver and press Next 3. This will check the decoder, and display the version number.
If the version in the decoder is older than the version loaded into the ICD‐HP, and you wish to update the decoder, press Next 3. This will show the version of the “bootloader” program, which actually loads the firmware into the decoder. DECODER UPDATE ---------------------Update Progress... Press Next 3 again to continue, and the firmware update will begin. A status bar will show the progress of the download. It will take several minutes to update a decoder’s firmware.
Diagnostics The Diagnostics menu allows operation and test of decoder functions. From the Main Menu, move the pointer to Diagnostics and press Next 3. Turn Station On/Off: The ICD‐HP can turn individual station outputs on and off for diagnostic purposes.
If the station is connected to a pressurized valve, the water will turn on. Take care to keep the ICD‐HP out of the water from sprinklers. Press ‐ to turn a station off. The station will turn off and the State will change from On to Off after a few seconds. Important Note: The ICD‐HP cannot set a run time for a decoder activation. The ACC controller will send an Off command down the two‐wire path once per minute, when no stations are supposed to be running.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM CAUSES SOLUTIONS ICD‐HP will not communicate with decoder. No power to decoder. Check controller power to two‐wire path, or connect power leads to decoder. Stations will not turn on. Decoder Programming cup disconnected. Batteries low. Check battery display or retry with USB power if available. No solenoid connected. Check solenoid connections. Decoder is powered from ICD‐HP power leads. Check two‐wire path and controller power.
No power on two‐wire path. Master Valve not on (station solenoid is on, but no water). Start station with MV from controller or remote. Decoder will not respond after firmware update. Stuck in bootloader mode. Repeat firmware update steps and allow to complete. Poor battery life. Display backlight will reduce battery life. Reduce timer or turn off backlight display.
