DUAL® for I-Core®
Easy Installation: The Dual decoder module easily plugs into the I-Core controller, converting it to two-wire/ decoder control. Up to 3 two-wire paths can be wired to the controller, for maximum design flexibility.
Connections Made Easy: Color-coded connections simplify installation with any standard 24 VAC irrigation solenoids.
7,500 Feet Each Direction: Wire up to 7,500 feet of 12 AWG or 5,000 feet of 14 AWG.

Features
Designed to bring the convenience and efficiency of two-wire technology to all, the DUAL system can operate up to 48 zones via a single pair of wires, at distances up to 7,500 feet (2.3 km). All 48 zones can be installed on a single path, or divided over multiple paths to take advantage of pipe trenches. Since it’s I-Core-compatible, system operators still receive advanced features and benefits like flow monitoring, quick system overview access, a factory-installed SmartPort®, six language capabilities, and a bold, graphic display. DUAL Decoders are available in one and two-station versions.
Key Benefits
Advanced Features
The DUAL Decoder System starts with the I-Core controller and adds the benefits of a two-wire decoder system.
Field programmability means no lengthy serial numbers to enter in the controller, and no time lost re-programming decoder assignments after a controller change. Each decoder is programmed with its actual station (valve) numbers for simplicity and reliability. Decoders may be re-programmed at any time if desired.
All Hunter decoders feature wireless programming and diagnostic access from the ICD-HP handheld programmer. Patented technology allows programming and diagnostics through the housing of the decoder, without removing a single wire or waterproof connector. Program, operate, and diagnose decoders in-place in field valve boxes.
Hunter’s unique jacketed decoder wire is high-strength, durable, sunlight protected, and part of the integrated lightning management system. Twisted pair conductors are color-coded for decoder system connections, and the outer jackets can be uniquely color-coded to organize field wire runs and assist in future wire tracking. Tough PE (polyethylene) jacket protects wire from sharp rocks and exposure to UV rays. Available in two standard wire gauges for different length requirements.
Each Hunter decoder includes 2 DBRY-6 waterproof connector kits, UL listed to 600V direct burial. Only the best connectors will do in the critical two-wire path, but there is no need to go shopping for them separately. Suitable for all sizes of ID Wire connections.
