BaseStation 6000 Specification Sheet
BaseStation 6000 Baseline's BaseStation 6000™ is an advanced smart controller that is ideal for large or complex projects. The BaseStation 6000 accommodates up to 4,000 zones with 500 soil moisture sensors and manages flow on up to 800 separate flow nodes across 24 flow devices. In the BaseStation 6000 system, you can connect up to 20 Remote Base Units that take the place of individual controllers. A variety of communication options gives you ultimate flexibility for any project. You can connect the Remote Base Units to the central control computer with a serial connection, a two-wire connection (through a Bridge Unit), Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection, or a mesh radio connection.
Operating Features Each controller can operate:
Up to 20 Remote Base Units
Up to 4000 zones using two-wire and/or conventional wiring (up to 200 zones per Remote Base Unit)
Up to 500 moisture sensors (up to 25 sensors per Remote Base Unit)
Up to 50 normally closed pause device inputs along the two-wire (up to 5 pause devices per Remote Base Unit and 1 rain switch)
Up to 50 normally open or normally closed master valves
Up to 24 flow meters
Up to 110 device loads on a single two-wire path per controller or Remote Base Unit
Operate up to 15 solenoids concurrently per Remote Base Unit, for a total 100 concurrent solenoids per controller
Automatically adjust run times and/or day intervals based on soil moisture readings collected at the plant’s root zone. Soil moisture readings exceeding an assigned shut-off level will override a programmed run time or day interval.
Operate in any of the following soil moisture sensor-based modes: fully automatic, semiautomatic, and manual
Operate in any of the following smart watering modes
The controller is able to: Manage 100 programs including up to 24 start times per program
Establish up to 100 separate hydrozones, each with individual adjustable zone run times, Intelligent Soak Cycling, and percentage adjustability from 33-400% on all linked zones
Soil moisture sensor based modes including fully automatic, semiautomatic, and manual
ET watering based on the PenmanMonteith Equation and weather station data
ET watering based on the Hargreaves Equation and air temperature sensor readings
Automatically capture soil moisture, water usage, and programming data and display it graphically

Operating Features, continued
Learn flow and manage flow
Monitor system flows
Shorten water windows by allowing maximum zone concurrency without exceeding system flow capacity
Based on readings from an Air Temperature biSensor
Based on readings from a weather station
Turn off zones with higher than expected flow rates due to broken irrigation lines
Track water usage of each zone and program and compare zone and program water budgets
Provide methods for backing up the program information and report data to a USB flash drive
Programmable Features
Set a “water window,” for each day of the week on a per hour basis, which suspends watering beyond a set time and resumes watering when another window reopens
Assign watering in minutes or by direct soil moisture monitoring
Schedule watering based on:
Use ET-based watering methods
Day intervals
Customizable weekly calendar
A “seasonal adjust” schedule
Schedule events on a per program basis to pause irrigation from 1 hour to a full 24 hours
Set a “rain delay” that will suspend watering for 1 to 7 days
Set up multiple levels of password protection for central login security: one for read-only permission and one for read/write permission.
Set up a “walk-around” test with an on/off time delay. The delay provides time for a user to walk to an assigned area before the required valves turn on.
Seasonally adjust programs by percentage
Upload an image of the site and then manage the system from the graphical interface
Set up start/stop conditions based on sensor readings or switch states
Establish a water budget and configure various responses to meeting/exceeding that budget
Configure notifications and alerts:
Configure Intelligent Soak Cycles™ with soak and cycle times from 2 to 240 minutes

Alerts, Logs, and Reports
Monitor and report on the following:
The last date a program ran
A progress bar for all currently running programs describing how much run time is remaining
The next run date of a program
Water consumption used by program per run estimation
365 days of moisture readings displayed graphically
Send the following alerts by text message and/or email:
High Flow Shut Down
Excessive Current
High Moisture Warning
High Moisture Shut Down
Notify users via text message or email if the controller cannot communicate with the Remote Base Units
Water flow estimation in gallons per minute
Run a complete system diagnostic test daily and generate a report
Total daily, current month, and previous month’s water consumption estimation in gallons
Keep track of all changes made to programming and report those changes in a Change log
Actual water used and flow rate for each flow meter
A report for every pause condition event
Monthly water budget
Read and report the current of the two-wire during normal running conditions. In the event of an over current, the controller will disable the two-wire for controller’s protection.
Read and report the voltage drop at the connections of all smart devices
Log data collected from each flow meter and zone (run time, soak time)
Test each zone and display:
Two-wire voltage drop
Two-wire current before, during, and after each decoder test
Valve voltage and current
Decoder communications
Decoder serial number
Send the following daily reports by email:
Valve test
Daily estimated water used report
Daily status
Change log
Valve activity log
Alarm and alert report
IO logs
Electrical Specifications Transformer Input
Requires 120 VAC, 50 Hz to 60 Hz and a minimum of a 5 amp breaker
Requires a certified electrician for hard-wire install with the included green, black, and white wires
