Introduction 

Baseline’s FlowStation is available as an add-on 
module that is installed inside a pedestal enclosure 
with a BaseStation 3200 irrigation controller.  
The FlowStation module comes with a

 

5-port 

ruggedized Ethernet switch (BL-ETH-SW).  
When the FlowStation is ordered with a BaseStation 
3200 irrigation controller in a pedestal, the FlowStation 
module is installed in the pedestal at the factory.  
The following instructions describe the steps for 
installing the add-on module into a pedestal that is 
already in service.  
 

Required Tools 

You will need a Phillips head screwdriver. 

 

Shutting Down Power to the Pedestal 

1.  On the BaseStation 3200, turn the dial to the 

Off 

position.  

2.  Open the lower door on the pedestal and locate the 

on/off key on the power box. 

3.  Remove the screw that fastens the key to the box. 

IMPORTANT!

 Put the screw in a safe place because you 

will need to replace it later.  
4.  Insert the key into the on/off switch and press it down 

to turn the power off. 

5.  Remove the key and reattach it with the screw to 

prevent it from being misplaced.
