Baseline BL-5406 — Pressure biCoder (4–20 mA)
The Baseline BL-5406 pressure biCoder lets a BaseStation 3200 read a 4–20 mA pressure transducer over the two-wire path. Use PSI thresholds to start/stop/pause programs, delay valve opening until pressure stabilizes, or shut down a master valve/pump on high or low pressure alerts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does BL-5406 include a pressure transducer?
No. BL-5406 is the pressure biCoder only. Order BL-5406-KIT if you need the biCoder plus pressure transducer kit.
What can I automate with pressure readings?
Start, stop, or pause programs by PSI; delay zone opening until target pressure; shut off pumps or master valves on high/low pressure alarms.
Which controller supports the BL-5406?
Pressure-based management with the BL-5406 is designed for the Baseline BaseStation 3200 platform reading 4–20 mA over two-wire.
Is it part of the biCoder family?
Yes. It uses Baseline biLine™ two-wire communication with the same addressing and diagnostic approach as other biCoders.
