270DCFDL
Two-way Decoder Cable Switching Device w/ Lightning Protection
270DCFD3L
Three-way (1 input & 3 output cables) w/ Lightning Protection
Application
Specifically designed as electrical isolation device for quick troubleshooting of damaged or non-functioning 2-Wire irrigation systems. Single or multiple sections of the electrical circuit can be disconnected or isolated by simply removing a fuse, without cutting wires or undoing splices/joints.
Features
• The isolation of circuit sections minimises electronic component failure
• Cap is unscrewed to access the fuses, the O-Ring Seal provides a waterproof capsule.
• Lighting protection models incorporate lightning arresters on the input and outputs wires.
• All wires are 0.91 m 14 AWG UF/TWU for direct burial and to allow the assembly to be brought above grade when troubleshooting and accessing the fuses.
• Standard 20-amp Mini Automotive fuses act as circuit switches when inserted (closed/on) or removed (open/off)
• Provides lightning protection when the electrical surges exceed 20-amp.
• For more sensitive circuit during a lightning strike, 5-amp fuses are included on the lightning protection models.
Decoder Cable Fuse Device Installation
Decoder Cable Fuse Devices should be strategically installed at the points where cables split in different directions and in long straight wire sections to isolate it in half for troubleshooting.
The typical Installation below shows locations where you would undo the splices when troubleshooting. The electrical circuit should be looked at as if it was a hydraulic system and the DCFDs are isolation valves.
