Setting the System to OFF
Turn the dial to the OFF position when you want to halt all watering for an indefinite period of time. All current
watering cycles will be stopped. No watering cycles will be started. Use this dial position for seasonal shutdown.
DO NOT power down the BaseStation.
When set to OFF, the controller enforces the following conditions:
•
It will continue to take biSensor moisture readings every ten minutes
and log them into flash memory.
•
It will power down the two-wire (even if it has been set to always be
powered up).
•
It will monitor and record flow rate and water usage and will shut
down master valves on high flow, unscheduled flow, or budget
exceeded if they are enabled. Flow readings will be taken at the same
time as moisture readings
Note:
The best high flow shutdown is provided with a Flow+NOMV device that is powered externally from a
separate 24 VAC power supply. This device can monitor flow rate 24x7, even with the controller in OFF (or
powered down) and can shut down the NOMV if the high flow limit is exceeded.
