Introduction
TheICD‐HPHandheldProgrammerisaninnovativesetup,programming,anddiagnostictoolforHunterICDseries
decoderproducts.
ThisinstrumentcanoperateandprogramICDdecodersviawirelessinduction,throughthebaseofthedecoder,witha
specialprogrammingcup.Thisallowsaccesstoinstalleddecoders,withoutremovingwaterproofwireconnectors.
ICD‐HPcanalsobeusedforinitialsetupofnewdecoders.Theincludedpowerleadswillpoweradecoderfor
programmingpurposes,forinstallationlater.
ICD‐HPcanbeusedfordiagnosticoperationandtestingofinstalleddecoders,solenoids,andevensensors.


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.

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.

CableandLeadConnections
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.
ConnectingtoaDecoder
TheICD‐HPprogrammerworkswithHunterICDandlaterdecoders.The
ICD‐HPprogrammingcupcommunicateswithdecodersthroughwirelessinduction.
Thebottomendofthedecoder(oppositetheendwiththewires)isthereceiverareaforthesignalsfromthe
programmingcup.
Theentireinsideofthecupiswithinthewirelessrange,
anditisnotnecessarytopressdecodersfirmlyinplace,as
longastheyarewithinthecup.Theprogrammingcup

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.
FieldMode:Ifthedecoderisinstalledinthetwo‐wirepath,itis
notnecessarytodisconnectanydecoderwiring.
ConnecttheprogrammingcuptotheICD‐HPwiththe
programmingcable.
Wipemudanddirtoffthedecodertopreventwearon
theprogrammingcupandinterferencewiththesignal.


Seattheprogrammingcupoverthedecoder.Thebottomofthedecoder(theendwithnowires)shouldbe

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!

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.
However,itmaybeprogrammedatalaterdate,toaddanewstationtoa
multi‐stationdecoder.
Forexample,asix‐stationdecodercouldhaveoutput#6(oranyother
outputs)settostation000.The000outputswouldnotbeoperational,but
couldbereservedforfutureadditions.Thenthenewstationnumbercould
beassignedtothereserved000outputwiththeICD‐HP.
Donotassignastation000unlessyouwishtoskipastation,orreserveone
forfutureexpansion.Stationnumber000cannotbeturnedonbya
controller!
StationsinRandomOrder:Itispossibletoassignanyvalidstationnumbersinanyorder.TheICD‐HPcanenterany
stationnumbersinamulti‐stationdecoderinanyorder.Thiscannotbedonefromthecontroller’sdecoderprogramming,
