Flow Operations
Flow Operations
The two major parts of Flow Operations are the Flow
Manager, and the Flow Monitor.
Checking either will display a reminder of the steps for setting
these features up. Press the Continue so key to set up the
selected function.
FLOW MANAGER
Flow Manager uses station ow information to run
simultaneous stations to reach a ow rate target that is
specied by the user. It will turn on as many stations as it
can to stay at or near the ow target until there are no more
stations to run. This does not require a ow sensor input.
FLOW MONITOR
Flow Monitor veries that actual ow matches the learned
ow for all running stations, and performs diagnostics or
shutdowns when alarms occur. Flow Monitor requires one or
more flow sensor inputs in order to operate, and at least one
Master Valve (P/MV) per ow sensor to be eective.
At the Flow menu, check the boxes to Enable Flow Manager
and/or Enable Flow Monitor if desired. Verify that all set up
information is exactly correct according to the following steps.
MAINSAFE™
Enable MainSafe has its own check box. MainSafe is a special
function for higher level ow monitoring and mainline
protection.
Do not check the MainSafe box until the optional
feature is completely understood.
MainSafe requires a separate ow meter and master valve. It
is designed to protect longer runs of large diameter mainline
pipe that are upstream from the Flow Zones themselves. If
a mainline pipe experiences a high ow, or continues to ow
when all irrigation is suspended, MainSafe provides a rapid
shutdown response to prevent a prolonged serious leak.
MainSafe can also be congured to watch over separate,
always-on manual watering pipes, and provide an emergency
response if a break occurs.
