Sensor Bypass
The Sensor Bypass setting allows the user to manu-
ally override the Flow-Clik™ sensor. This is helpful
during situations that require the system to operate at
higher than “learned” flow rates (i.e. system winteriza-
tion, running a hose bib, or operating multiple valves).
To bypass the Flow-Clik sensor, turn the interrupt
period dial to the Sensor Bypass/Calibrate position.
PROBLEM
CAUSES SOLUTIONS
System Status Indicator
light is off
No AC power to the Flow-Clik Interface Box A) Check that the Interface Box power leads (yellow wires) are attached to the
24 VAC terminals on the controller.
B) Verify that the power to the controller is on.
System Status Indicator
light is flashing red
Irrigation system is in an overflow condition Normal operation during an overflow condition. The Flow-Clik has identified
overflow condition and is waiting the pre-set startup delay period before shutting
the system off.
System Status Indicator
is steady red
Irrigation system is in an overflow condition Normal operation during an overflow condition.
A) The Flow-Clik has identified an overflow condition and is waiting the
predetermined amount of time set as the Interrupt Period before restarting the
irrigation cycle.
B) The Interrupt Period setting is in the Manual Restart position requiring the
Flow-Clik be reset before irrigation can resume. Press the Restart System button
to reactivate the Flow-Clik.
Flow-Clik will not shut the
irrigation system off
No power to Flow-Clik Check System Status Indicator light is on (if light is off, see above).
Faulty wire connections from the Flow-Clik
sensor to the Interface Box
Check Flow-Clik sensor wires (red and black wires) are properly connected.
System is in the Startup Delay mode A) Normal operation.
B) System is not balanced. Too much variation between flow rates of the zones
may prevent the Flow-Clik from sensing an overflow condition on the lower
flow zone(s). Flow-Clik will only shut the system down if flows exceed highest
flow zone.
Wait for start up delay period to end.
Flow-Clik continually shuts off
a zone with no known problems
Flow-Clik is improperly calibrated Reset the Flow-Clik to the highest flow zone.
High fluctuations in system pressure It is recommended that the Flow-Clik be set at the time of day that the irrigation
system will be run. Note: If too much pressure fluctuation occurs, it may be
necessary to add pressure regulation to the system.
System Status Indicator light
is not Flashing Green when the
system is running
Faulty wiring connections from the Flow-Clik
sensor to the Interface Box
Check Flow-Clik sensor wires (red and black wires) are properly connected.
AC power not being supplied to the
Interface Box
Check the wiring connections from the controller to the Interface Box.
Debris is stuck in the impeller of the
Flow-Clik sensor
Confirm that system pressure is off. Remove cap and pull sensor out of the sensor
body and inspect for debris or damage to the impeller.
System Status Indicator is
Flashing Red/Green
System experienced an overflow condition
during an automatic watering cycle.
Manually cycle system to find cause of system overflow.
Press the Restart/Calibrate button to reset the system status indicator.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If the sensor experiences an overflow condition, the
system status indicator will identify the overflow, but
the interface box will continue to allow the controller
to operate.
