Sharing Points of Connections
FLOWSENSE (model -FL)
The Calsense FLOWSENSE® option, specified as -FL, allows multiple controllers to share master valves,
flow meters, and pumps, as well as real-time weather data from devices such as an ET Gage, Tipping Rain
Bucket, and/or third-party rain and freeze sensors (Figure 9
). This sharing is accomplished through a
two-way communication link between the controllers in the field, using the Hardwire or Spread
Spectrum Radio options.
The FLOWSENSE technology is designed to allow the user to setup and operate this feature directly in
the field with the Calsense ET2000e controller. No central computer or other software is required. The
FLOWSENSE option uses innovative technology to communicate between controllers and manage the
proper operation of irrigation valves.
