STATION SETUP

Flow Manager requires:

• The station’s Flow Zone assignment

• The Flow Priority (checked or not checked)

• The station Flow Rate.

FLOW ZONE

This tells the controller which Flow Zone the station belongs

to.

A dierent ow target can be set for each ow zone. The ow

target should be a safe rate of ow (approximately 5 /sec

or 1.5 m/sec) for the diameter of the mainline pipe in the ow

zone.

It is also possible to have Flow Zones that run without Flow

Manager, simultaneously with Flow Zones that are being

managed.

FLOW PRIORITY

The priority setting helps the controller decide which stations

to run sooner to achieve Flow Targets. Stations with the

Priority box checked will be considered rst, so that less

critical stations can occur later in the irrigation.

FLOW RATE

If the system is equipped with a ow sensor, it is best to use

the “Learn Flow” function to let the controller ll these values

in.

If the system does not have a ow sensor, look up or calculate

reasonable ow values for each station, and enter manually

for each station.

Note that Copy and Paste do not work with ow rates. They

only copy the upper half of the screen, including P/MV and

Flow Zone assignments.
