Flow Sensors
Flow Sensors can calculate and report the amount of water, in gallons per minute,
travelling through a pipe. For a complete explanation on flow sensors, including basic
instructions on how to install a flow sensor, please see Appendix B: Flow Sensors.

Sensor Type, K Factor, Offset, and Include In Total Flow
calculations or not.
Include in Total Flow: If checked No, the flow sensor data from this
sensor will be ignored for Total Flow count. Note the flow data is still
recorded and graphed.
Type: Select from Custom, FS-B100, FS-B125, FS-B150, FS-B200, FS-
B250, FS-B15, FS-10, FS-15, FS-20, FS-30, FS-40, FS-60, FS-150, FS-200,
FS-300, and FS-400.
K-factor: The number of pulses generated in a flow meter used to calculate
volumetric throughput.
Offset: K and Offset together represent a linear scaling of the flow meter
revolutions to the flow in the units the customer desires.
The K-Factor and offset numbers are automatically adjusted for all
available flow sensors except the Custom setting. See Appendix B:
Flow Meters for K-factor and Offset numbers for common flow
meters with their respective ‘K’ and Offset settings.
Connection Type: Set Local for conventionally-wired flow sensors and
Decoder for a 2-wire flow decoder.
