The BCS is a technical piece of equipment that requires some knowledge of electronics to integrate it with your selected devices/equipment.

Re: BCS-460 only 1 volt?

I cannot possibly be the only person frustrated with the lack of diagrams and a decent instruction manual. When you spend $200 + on a technical piece of equipment i would expect there to be more than just a sub par wiki site for wiring instructions. I apologize if i offend anyone. The problem here ...

BC-460 help! Just wired up my system for the first time and running a test. The BCS is only putting out 1 volt DC to my relays. I'm using 12 volt relays but the bcs voltage out is not putting out enough voltage to close the relay. It's my understanding that the bcs is supposed to put out 5 volts pe...

Re: BCS Roadmap

A diagram building tool would be nice. List of components. Somewhere you could enter your components and it assist you in building a wiring diagram. Ex list or chose from a drop down box your components BCS-460, 4 probes, 2 pumps, 2 Honeywells, and it assist in building a control box diagram.
