FLOW LIMITS
In the Flow Zones menu, press the so key for Flow Limits.
Maximum Flow: Sets the highest possible ow rate allowed
in the Flow Zone for any reason. This should be considerably
larger than the maximum ow allowed in normal irrigation (so
that it does not alarm before station-level diagnostics can be
performed). When the ow sensor detects a ow higher than
this, the irrigation will be shut down.
Unscheduled Flow: This is the maximum amount of ow
allowed when no stations are actively running. This is only
to allow manual watering by hand when the controller is
not watering automatically. When the rate is exceeded, the
controller will alarm.
If Unscheduled Flow is set to OFF, the controller will not
respond to unscheduled ow.
Flow Alarm Delays: Sets an amount of time before the Max or
Unscheduled ow rates will cause an alarm, and sets how long
the Flow Zone will be shut down.
Alarm Delay: High ows will alarm immediately if this is set to
None. Enter a time to allow high ow before it is treated as an
alarm. This can prevent false alarms when ow is unstable. Set
in M:SS format; the longest delay is 9 minutes, 59 seconds.
This can eliminate false alarms from temporary surges in ow.
This delay should be longer than the delays for the stations
attached to the Flow Zone.
Alarm Clear Delay: Sets the amount of time a Flow Zone will
remain shut down before allowing new automatic irrigation
attempts. Set in HH:MM format, the longest delay setting is
23 hours, 59 minutes.
If Alarm Clear Delay is set to Manual Only, automatic
irrigation will never resume aer a high ow or unscheduled
ow alarm, until it is manually cleared by an operator at the
controller. The operator must dial to the Flow menu, select
Clear Flow Alarms, the Flow Alarms that should be cleared,
and click Clear Selected.
FLOW ALLOWANCES
In the Flow Zones menu, press the so key for Allowances.
Watering Budget: Enter the total amount of ow that can be
allowed in this Flow Zone in the calendar month. If the total
ow exceeds the monthly budget, an alarm message will
appear on the screen. The controller will not automatically
stop watering when this alarm occurs.
Manual Watering Allowance: Sets an additional ow rate
amount allowed for manual irrigation. This amount is added to
the high ow limit to allow for any manual watering that might
occur during automatic irrigation.
